But, this is what they wanted by naming themselves a sanctuary city, right?
A Democrat-run city’s police have reportedly made more than 1,000 arrests of Venezuelan nationals in the first three months of 2024 amid a massive outrage over additional money to feed and shelter migrants.
There were 609 arrests for driving/traffic offenses, nine violent felonies, 75 violent misdemeanors and 313 other offenses listed as non-violent, with nine others listed as unknown or not listed, according to analysis of Chicago crime and arrest data by The Chicago Tribune.
The data is limited to adults arrested by Chicago police and does not include juveniles or anyone arrested by another agency. The arrest data also does not say when those Venezuelan nationals arrived or their immigration status. The Tribune found that Venezuelans are less likely to be accused of violent crimes, including homicides.
The report comes as there are continued signs of agitation and anger at the migrant influx and the response by local government officials to it.
The Chicago City Council recently voted 30-18 to approve a request made by Mayor Brandon Johnson for an additional $70 million in order to help deal with the ongoing migrant crisis. That money is on top of a $150 million assigned to migrant care in the budget already. According to Johnson’s office, the city has at its peak been dealing with more than 2,000 migrants coming in a week. Nearly 40,000 have arrived since August 2022.
Well, fortunately they aren’t all sorts of uber-violent, at least the adults, right? Except for the violent felonies and misdemeanors. Nice that they’re making the streets dangerous, eh? Where are they getting the money for vehicles? They can’t legally obtain auto insurance. But, hey, this is what Democrats wanted, right? Oh, right, they wanted it for elsewhere.
Also, I wonder how many non-Venezuelans were arrested?
Meanwhile, in Ireland
Irish police dismantle Dublin’s migrant ‘tent city’
Irish police dismantled about 200 tents housing asylum seekers in Dublin early on Wednesday, tackling what has become a focal point for heated debate around migration.
Ireland is struggling to accommodate record numbers of refugees while facing a housing shortage, and a so-called tent city had sprung up near government buildings in the capital’s central Mount Street area over the last year.
While the young men who lived in small tents in the city were largely left alone, there have been protests in smaller communities against migrants living in hotels and hostels. Violence erupted in Dublin in November, led by far-right activists.
The government said later on Wednesday that the camped-out asylum seekers had been moved to sites south of Dublin with weather-proof tents, showers, food and security.
Prime Minister Simon Harris said, ahead of the move, that it was important they did not return. “We do not live in a country where makeshift shantytowns are allowed to just develop,” he said.
Well, that’s weird. The Progressive politicians let the illegals in to Ireland, but, are upset when they post up in Dublin, and move them away from being seen by the citizens.
There, that should discourage them.
Erin go Bragh!
Immigrants better not compete with native Chicagoan criminals. Crime is NOT a job Chicagoans won’t do.
The 1000 felonies ? They include a total of 9 violent felonies
Shocking!
Teach must have forgotten to include that for some reason
That Chicago Tribune article also said data showed that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than US citizens
But if they were back home in the Bolivarian socialist republic of Venezuela, they would have committed zero crimes here. Wouldn’t that be better?
Teach they get that money by working. That is the reason they came here, to work. Well no, it wouldn’t be better. American needs hard working “military ages men” 25% of construction workers are migrants
Dana are you ready to go back to being a cement worker laborer?

LOL! While I have worked as a concrete finisher, that was in the early 1980s. I have finished a couple of things voluntarily helping family since then, and despite my advanced age — I’m 71 — I can still do the work, but right now, I’m quite happily retired.
The vast majority of my career was not finishing concrete, but producing it. Filling concrete mixers is a lot nicer than emptying them!
Then why not stay in their own country and work?
Why would there be any illegal immigrants from a socialist paradise like Venezuela?
I certainly don’t think it is a socialist paradise, perhaps you should be addressing that question to someone who thinks it is a paradise. Remember the people fleeing “socialism” are like you Dana, they don’t want to live there. YOU are the one who wishes to force them to live there, Trump gave them permission to come here. I already posted links before. but will do it again.

“Trump blocks Venezuelans’ deportations in last political gift”

Scott Smith
The Venezuelans coming here are not the supporters of Maduros socialism/kleptopcracy. Trump did this in exchange for support from the rightwing anti Maduro American/Venezuelans.
Dana were you shocked!!! to find that a total of 9 violent felonies had been committed in 3 months by these “criminal’ migrants? If you had bothered to actually read the Chicago Times story that Mr Teach cited you would also have seen that the migrants in Chicago per capita commit fewer crimes than citizens.
Dana you really should fact check first. You can not always believe those things that you read even if you WANT to believe them. In Mr Teach’s post he cites 1000 arrested. But he leaves out 60% traffic violations. Only 9 were for violent felonies.
You should check, too, Johnny. You didn’t mention the 75 violent misdemeanors, and more importantly the fact that the stats are only for adults. As we know, a lot of crime is committed by those who aren’t adults yet.
I don’t care what the Chicago Tribune article states immigrants are not less likely to commit crimes. First of all the Chicago Tribune is not an expert on crime. Secondly just being here is a crime for an illegal alien. Do you believe everything left wingers tell you?
You need to ask some people who live in Chicago on the streets of that fine city that are plagued by crime daily. Ask them if they haven’t noticed the distinct uptick in crime lately. I see them interviewed on TV and they all say the same thing the illegals are committing tons of crimes. now they could be wrong because after all they are just average people they’re not rich like you are and they’re not in LA or New York like you. But they are in a blue city which according your statistics makes them rich somehow.
We don’t need anymore socialists in America people like you have seen to that. We certainly don’t need anymore left-leaning minorities in America people like you have also seen to that. What we do need is people who actually want to become Americans in America none of these people want that. Just like none of the people protesting at the colleges wanna be Americans none of these people wanna be Americans. Or at least very few of them. So go take your propaganda and peddle it to somebody else we’re all full up here.
There’s a video exposing what people like you are H.

I go on to all different kinds of websites and especially now that my ankles busted up I’m gonna be sitting here doing that all the time I have yet to see a website that states that Chicago has less crime now that they’re illegals there.
Brandon, like most right-wing extremists can’t face reality so they deny facts.
I don’t care what the Chicago Tribune article states immigrants are not less likely to commit crimes.
What are going to believe, the facts or your own bigotry?
I own 12 Chipotle restaurants in Chicago, and none of my 212 immigrant employees have committed any crimes!
