According to migrants, several personal belongings were thrown away by officials when they were removed from the space in late June. (Armando L. Sanchez/Chicago Tribune/TNS) ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ TNS CHICAGO - Jordan Parra said he didn't walk across seven countries to be kicked out of his tent in a park in Chicago. The 27-year-old from Caracas, Venezuela, had been staying on Chicago Housing Authority land adjacent to the Near West District (12th) police station with his partner for months. They opted to sleep outside after feeling unsafe in three different city-run shelters, he said. Then in late June, he said, police officers came into the park with a bulldozer and cleared everyone out. TOP VIDEOS The video player is currently playing an ad. Skip Ad "What we've found here is worse than in Venezuela, because we came here with hope for a better life and had to deal with the disappointment of not even getting close," he said. Parra showed the Tribune a video he took on his phone of a hostile interaction with Chicago police officers as he and a half-dozen others were forcibly removed from the site. "They didn't let us take out our bags. There were suitcases inside, there were personal things, and the police didn't let us take them," Parra said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You would think the DNC would be showing off all the immigrants and how proud they are to have them and all the wonderful things they do for the city! :whistle:

Dems will cleanup the streets for their elites.

... when Boston hosted the DNC in 2004, the homeless disappeared from the streets of Boston for the entire length of the convention ... and they coralled protesters into a designated Free Speech Zone (fenced-in pen under the old Green Line elevated trolley tracks, behind the new Boston garden) ...
