Evanston prepares for busloads of migrants – Evanston Now

In Evanston, City spokesperson Jessica Mayo said, “We have been actively seeking space to house migrants for months. Due to the density of Evanston, finding a safe, workable space has proven difficult. However, we are still exploring possible options for providing shelter assistance.”

Translation: we’re an upscale suburb, with no affordable housing, but our progressive constituents urge us to participate in “welcoming of recently-arriving migrants” woke virtue-signal checklist-exercise. We intend to house and subsidize five families total, carefully cherry-picked for their photogenic two-parent two-child college-educated household composition to match Evanston’s progressive self-image, and will be housed in five affordable-rent two-bedroom two-bath apartments, if and when we can find such. It’s a struggle, but we’re dedicated to the Marxist fight.

Just wait until the Evanston’s 15% black residents discover their local tax dollars are being spent on illegal immigrants instead of long term residents in need! It’ll be the south side all over again!

Evanston’s “historically-black” residents are busy preparing their “restitution” application essays for annual submittal-consideration. Evanston bought and paid-for their cooperative silence.

Jessica Mayo is correct. Many dense people in Evanston.

Lots of mansions owned by rich Democrats with extra bedrooms and room for tents on their large lots. Plus I thought that “hate has no home” in those mansions! Surely the Evanston lefties will each take in a few of the “no one is illegal” crowd.

Bowmanville is too close to Evanston. Where did I go wrong?
