CHICAGO MIGRANT CRISIS: JAN 1 2025, ALL CHICAGO HOMELESS AND MIGRANTS WILL COMPETE FOR 6800 BEDS - MORE EQUITABLE!

Impact on future wages​

Some undocumented immigrants who arrived before the migrant crisis worry new migrants are bringing wages down in the construction business. Outside a Home Depot near the Avondale neighborhood, a group of workers from Central America say they have been getting construction gigs outside the store for years. But now about 30 migrants stand near the store in the mornings and work for as little as $5 an hour, which is about three times less than what other groups of workers make.

“They don’t know that is not a living wage,” said Mauricio Huertas, of the Latino Union, which advocates for immigrant workers. “And part of the conversation around that is telling them like, ‘OK, sure, right now you have these transitional benefits to get you set up. But how do you expect to pay for housing … when you’re earning $5 an hour?’ ”

Bidenomics.....

They are literally enslaving themselves.

CNN —

A charter bus company hired by the state of Texas to transport migrants to Chicago is trying to flip the script on the border crisis in a federal lawsuit against the city alleging that its ordinance banning unannounced migrant drop-offs is unconstitutional and punishes transportation companies working with Texas, court documents show.

Wynne Transportation LLC is fighting new restrictions in Chicago against buses dropping off one-way passengers without prior notice.

The ordinance does not specifically mention immigration, but city leaders have acknowledged it is in response to the influx of more than 30,000 migrants arriving from Texas on government-contracted charter buses, often dropped off on street corners with little or no notice.

The rules, enacted on December 8 in an effort to slow the surge, require unscheduled one-way buses from outside the Chicago area to get advance approval from the city to drop people off. Violators can be fined $3,000 and have their vehicles impounded, the mandate says.

“Texas bus operators continue to willfully break the law by disregarding regulations designed to ensure the safety of asylum seekers arriving in Chicago,” Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office said in a December news release calling for federal support in addressing the migrant crisis.

At the direction of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, the Lone Star state has busedover 90,000 migrants to “sanctuary cities” run by Democratic elected officials including New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles since April 2022, according to numbers released by the governor’s office December 29.

“Wynne is taking action against the City’s ordinance because it unlawfully interferes with its business and violates Wynne’s constitutional rights and the rights of Wynne’s passengers,” Michael Kozlowski, an attorney representing Wynne Transportation LLC and several other charter bus companies, told CNN in a statement Thursday.

In its lawsuit, Wynne Transportation LLC, which is also caught in the middle of another lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court for its non-compliant role in transporting migrants to New York City, argues that the ordinance is intended to limit the flow of immigrants and infringes on the right of the federal government to set immigration policy.

“This case is about allowing immigrants the opportunity to call Chicago home,” the lawsuit states.

CNN reached out to the City of Chicago for comment. It has not yet filed a response to the suit in court, and no hearing dates have been set in the case.

As of December 31, Chicago filed 95 separate lawsuits against approximately 24 bus companies to enforce the unlawful ordinance, Kozlowski said.

“We intend to vigorously defend those cases,” he said, which will begin on January 29 when an initial hearing for 40 of the 95 cases filed by the city will take place, Kozlowski said.

At the same time that the bus company cites federal immigration authority in its suit, the state of Texas is involved in ongoing litigation with the Biden administration over its efforts to arrest migrants, place barriers in the Rio Grande and block Border Patrol agents from access to parts of the border.

The Wynne lawsuit argues Chicago is also violating the constitutional authority of the federal government to regulate interstate commerce by enacting restrictions that mostly apply to out-of-state companies.

“The Ordinance violates both Plaintiff’s and its passengers’ fundamental right of free movement/interstate travel,” the documents state.

Immigration isn't an issue to alter your vote for though...

That is exactly what immigration is. Both parties on the federal level had times when they had the presidency and control of congress and done nothing. Immigration is a political soccer that they kick around a field. It hasn't been addressed cause it's not intended to. Meanwhile, it's always one of the top topics during election time. Fycked up and we need to start calling it like it is.

I always come into this thread and always spot the "blk" right wingers.
The ones campaigning to vote out blk politicians.
The ones who HATE blk politicians

The ones who love republicans and want a white supremacist gov

The ones who will vote for trump and vote out blk politicians

Alts, trolls,. and agents
All dapping each other

I recently met Brandon Johnson. I don’t have anything bad to say about him.

The chicago immigrant thread is there with hundreds of your posts

What did I lie on you about?

The truth is, I want you to vote for the most extreme right wing racists imaginable
I want you to suffer
Badly

Everyone wants to talk race..

Communities of ALL races are coming out against this. Black,white,Hispanics, Indians.

Even the alderman who wanted them in their districts are calling for answers on why is this being allowed.

He didn’t sell anyone out. This is Brandon Johnson. Love it or hate it

What Brandon Johnson is doing is what he ran on.

Breh, Eric Adams was sending migrants to Canada. Canada asked him to stop

El Paso democrat mayor put migrants on buses to Chicago to.

Colorado was doing it to.

It don’t matter if it’s Texas or New York. Nobody wants to be responsible for 30,000 people who can’t work or speak English.

Politicians need to be honest. We are NEVER going to deport millions of people. We talking about 15 million or more illegals. You can’t deport that many people without starting a humanitarian crisis. America would be condemned world wide.

The only answer is amnesty.. How do we get there should be the conversation now.

Bussing them through the country isn’t helping anyone. Letting them sleep in shelters,parks,police stations is taking away from actual residents of America.

If both sides agree this is a humanitarian crisis then shut down the AT&T arena and house them. Same with Chicago. House them at The United Center. Don’t fukk the daily lives of residents and city services.

Northerly Island is closed for the year.. I’m sure it can hold camps through the winter just as good as any neighborhood park.


There are more than enough options to make this work is my point. You don’t have to interrupt the lives of other. People would much more likely want to help migrants if they didn’t feel forced to compromise with them.

@Uncouth Savage where’s the maga?

@Uncouth Savage where’s the maga?

The chicago "crisis" was manufactured by racist republicans
John Tanton's group NumbersUSA is heavy in the mix

Your immigrant thread is FILLED with right wing twitter accounts
Filled with racist right wing twitter accounts

You can cherry pick posts all you desire

What is obvious, is just that.

Again, I want you to vote for the head of the klan
And suffer badly
So no I am not against your right wing politics

 

[Voice of Reason]

I'm anti illegal immigrants in poor Black communities myself but some of you are falling for right wing billionaire tricks to stoke flames in order for them to get their corporate interests taken care of in a Trump presidency.

The same billionaires that stoked the CRT and DEI hysteria are behind this.


And it is all about money for the top 1%

I had a big debate last week concerning this very thing.
That it is the history of the world, and goes beyond "race".

The best example of this is the attitude of most of the coli concerning new members

"We cannot trust them....Keep registration closed.....They from enemy websites"

A silly comparison, yet same in many regards.
