Chicago City Council Blocks Effort to Allow Citizens to Vote on Sanctuary City Status – Jonathan Turley

"In the meantime, Gov. JB Pritzker has opened up 230 hotel rooms for migrants as local citizens demand a change in state and city policies. Given the anger of such residents, the city council has found a solution: just don’t let them vote. It appears something of a trend around the country."

The citizens had their opportunity to vote on election day and will again next election day. My guess is the same old retreads will be re-elected. Why would I expect anything different?

Turley writes of “increasingly crowded conditions for schools.” Yet Wirepoints have documented that many Chicago government schools operate at only a small percentage of capacity.

Maybe Turley watched too many episodes of Mork & Mindy. Exidor on the show kept saying You’re crowding me when no one was around. LOL

Are those rooms JB opened up at Hyatt hotels? Asking for an illegal friend.

There’s a mansion on Astor Street available but without toilets. I’m sure the owner is will to put up a few Port-O-Potties to help out.

  1. “Asking for an illegal friend” – much more appropriate and updated a phrase in the Chicago area than the overused “asking for a friend” 2. You already have an illegal friend? You’re so avant-garde!
