2 Aldermen Want Voters To Decide If Chicago Should Remain A Sanctuary City Amid Migrant Crisis – Block Club Chicago

Considering that the Chicago mayoral election was determined by less than one third of eligible voters, what do you think the outcome would be?

The only fair vote would be to put a vote to ALL THE VOTERS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, not just Chicago voters!

The Biden administration is directly responsible for this epic disaster. When faced with a situation spiraling out of control, they respond by pouring gasoline on the raging fire. This will be the legacy of this completely incompetent and increasingly incapacitated President.

Politicians virtue signaled with zero input from the voters and now want to hide behind the voters for their self inflicted mistake.

Government should never be about “best intention”. As a steward for all citizens, you have a fiduciary OBLIGATION to thoroughly understand the impacts of your decisions. As evidence of the lack of intelligence of our Chicago/Illinois leadership, here is another example of the old, “Who knew?” Decisions aren’t made in a vacuum and virtue signaling your “wokeness” I mean welcomeness was always going to have ripple through effects… The only constant in Illinois is the juvenile nature of our pols intellects and their ability to F things up completely.

No, you detect people protecting their pocketbook. They know they will eventually pay the huge cost of these policies.

What a hoot!

Block Club tells us to remain calm, all is well. They report:

They continue to block the truth. Center for Immigration Studies and others have tackled this topic before. More fabrication by those clowns at BC.

Any society that prioritizes criminals and illegal immigrants is terminally sick

The ones I see prioritizing criminals and illegals are Democrat Politicians.
