With her re-election hopes in doubt, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has ignited a firestorm in the Black community after her administration deceived the media, Woodlawn residents and even Alderman Jeanette Taylor with a plan to house migrant workers at the vacant Wadsworth Elementary School. “We can’t let the mayor and all the other people bring in people that can destroy our culture and our housing values. I’m very upset about it, and I will not be voting for that mayor and the people that support all this stuff that’s going on,” one local said. “They dump all these migrants into the Black community because they don’t fear consequences from us,” said another.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

All’s Fair!
The Biden and Democrat teams dump illegals into white communities too!
Better treat the migrants good, as they will soon be all that is left in the Chitty of Chicago. All the honest hard-working families and leaving as fast as the can. Who can blame them?
I can just feel the love from the „Hate Has No Home Here” crowd.
Why are the Blacks not embracing the diversity? Where is the equity for these illegals?
Lori and the politicians don’t fear any repercussions from you because you blindly keep voting for them decade after decade. It is not that hard to figure out. So you are really upset with Lori and this policy? Which replacement toady Democrat will you vote for instead?
yeah! you people complaining better show Lori the door in 2023. then elect another radical DemonicRat to replace her. that person would never lie and screw you over…
