Chicago City Council will establish a “base camp” for illegal aliens on the site of a derelict store and parking lot in Morgan Park. Comprised of tents hardened against the oncoming winter, the camp is being imposed on the area over the objections of local alderman David Moore, who was concerned by officials refusing to say how much the city would have to pay in property taxes for the site.
“For the migrant shelter, that is a dynamic that is one that some residents oppose. Some people are scared of what will happen,” conceded Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the council’s floor leader.
Declared a “sanctuary city” by Mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago is one of several Democrat-run cities where conservative-run border states – which never asked for the open borders policies the Joe Biden regime has imposed on them – have been busing migrants in large numbers.
The blue cities have been struggling to handle the new arrivals, who are often Venezuelan. Traditionally Democrat-voting groups have expressed their anger with the influx openly, with black Chicagoans telling city officials to “take them somewhere else or send them back to Venezuela” at public meetings, and Latinos chanting “we don’t want Venezuelans” in Spanish.
