Chicago residents are expressing outrage over the Democrat-run
sanctuary city continuing to be overwhelmed with illegal immigrants,
putting a strain on resources and leaving less support for poorer neighborhoods.

Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan joined "FOX & Friends" on
Wednesday to react to the latest instance of irate residents
confronting local officials about the consequences of liberal
policies toward migrants.

"Do you as a resident of the City of Chicago believe that we should
remain a sanctuary city?" asked 41st Ward Republican Alderman
Anthony Napolitano at a city council meeting Tuesday.

RAGES

The crowd responded by yelling a resounding "no" and erupting with
boos and catcalls.

"We're spending a lot of money every single day. We're up to $40
million a month," said 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale, according to
Fox 32.

A majority of the crowd was African American residents who were
angry about how much money is being spent on illegal immigrants.

"The most outrageous thing about it is the local community. I've
been contacted by two pastors in the Black community who are up in
arms, saying the Black community has been left behind," said Homan.

Homan compared how struggling Chicago residents are supported versus
the illegal immigrants, who are receiving free meals and hotel rooms
at taxpayers' expense.

"The community is outraged and they should be," he told co-host
Lawrence Jones, adding that sanctuary policies make the community
less safe.

"The sanctuary is for criminals. … That means local law enforcement
can't work with ICE agents to deport somebody who is a public safety
threat. … For instance, an illegal alien commits a serious crime,
gets booked in a jail. ICE isn't even allowed to go into that jail
and talk to them to put a detainer on to set them up for removal,"
he said.

City officials say the Windy City has accepted more than 19,000
migrants since August 2022, but they are not the only ones who will
need assistance during the winter. There are over 68,000 Chicagoans experiencing homelessness, according to a recent study, the city
says.

In a recent interview with FOX News host Jesse Watters, a Chicago
resident expressed her dismay over migrants being housed at O'Hare
Airport, police stations and even youth sports fields. The interview
with Cata Truss came after an October city council meeting unfolded
in similar fashion, as residents raged at new Democratic Mayor
Brandon Johnson.

"They are not listening. … In Chicago, it's unfortunate that our
elected officials have always taken us for granted, but we are tired
of being taken for granted. We are standing up and we are fighting
back," Truss said.

But as the saying goes, you reap what you sow. It’s easy to ignore
until it’s at your doorstep. Too many of these northern
states/cities have voiced tracked inclusion of open border policies
until now when it actually reaches their own front door.

So, am I understanding this correctly? It’s only because one group
doesn’t want a different group reducing their entitlements that they
have any objections? I guess the fact that these are nearly all
asylum frauds doesn’t matter, nor the fact that immigration laws are
being discarded.
