Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Ignores Residents’ Opposition, Fills College with 300 Border Crossers
JOHN BINDER30 May 2023544
Weeks ago, Johnson’s office began floating an idea to fill up Wilbur Wright College with hundreds of newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens — most of whom have no ties to the United States but are taking advantage of President Joe Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network at the southern border.
The initial plan suggested that border crossers and illegal aliens would not be placed at the college until early next month and after input from locals.
This week, though, more than 300 border crossers and illegal aliens were placed at the college despite opposition from residents and without warning. During a town hall meeting last week, residents on Chicago’s Northwest Side spoke out against the city’s plans to turn their neighborhood into a migrant encampment.
“It seems this whole thing was dumped on us,” one resident said. “We pay taxes in this district and we should have been told what’s going on and why.”
“They can just roam the neighborhood. We have seniors, children, disabled. Do all these people have background checks?” another resident noted. “… this is an absolute slap in the face to those who came here legally,” another said to roaring applause.
