Black , Italian, Hispanic….take your pick..


A controversial plan to use $51 million in surplus funds to put a financial Band-Aid on a migrant crisis that has stretched Chicago to the limit hit a legislative roadblock on Wednesday.

With Mayor Brandon Johnson presiding over his first City Council meeting, Alderpersons Anthony Beale (9th), Ray Lopez (15th) and Anthony Napolitano (41st) used a parliamentary maneuver to postpone a final vote on the fund transfer.


Beale said he forced the weeklong delay to make a statement — that it’s a slap in the face to paper over the migrant crisis instead of addressing longstanding concerns.

“You have people starving for resources every day and they’ve spent their entire life looking for those resources and can’t get ’em
,” Beale said.

“This money will be gone in 45 days. But if you put that $51 million in our communities, it can help people for generations and generations to come,” he added. “You might as well take that $51 million and set a match to it because it’s gonna be burnt up.”

Napolitano said his biggest beef is that “none of this $51 million is going to any of our own homeless around here.”

If Chicago really is the sanctuary city it proclaims itself to be, Napolitano said, “we should have started putting money toward this happening. And we did nothing. We patted ourselves on the back, but we have no sanctuary for anybody.”

Lopez accused the city of “playing Whack-a-Mole” with the migrant crisis, instead of developing a long-range funding plan.



“Neither the outgoing or incoming administrations gave me any answers as to the line-by-line expenditures of what we spent and what we are going to spend for the next two months,” Lopez said.

“I can’t keep giving money down this rabbit hole without a solution. We know we’re gonna keep being inundated by the migrants being shipped here from across the country. We need to come up with a better plan ... instead of asking for more money every two months.”



fukked up situation. People sleeping on police floors and inside of park club houses. Shelters full and people suffering.

Black people are being removed from Chicago. its painfully obvious at this point. A concerted effort to remove large bases of Black people from urban centers where they wield considerable economic and political might.
In a city where Black people had to literally FIGHT for their survival (Google Chicago Race Riots) when they arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs from the clay dirt of the South.

But have no fear Brandon Johnson is here...oh wait. :skip:

They could spend $1 million on some shoulder fired missiles and hand them out to the highway patrol.

Once the migrant bus approached, let the driver know that this thang ain’t a prop. The driver turns the bus around. Repeat steps for any future buses.

The end.
