Addressing the neighbors' opposition to housing migrants at South Shore High School, the mayor said, “It’s no secret that the Black community in this city has suffered under austerity budgets that have caused true economic disparity, and we are in a position now to bring communities together, and we have to do both.

Mayor has a huge disconnect with reality it seems.
I think Chicagoans don’t support this invasion but what do I know.
Build refugee camps now.
