Everything’s all fun and games for the sanctuary city residents until they actually have to put up with their belief in illegal immigration for real
Residents Of Chicago’s Woodlawn Neighborhood Protest Shelter For Migrants
Residents of a Chicago neighborhood protested preparations to establish a migrant shelter inside a closed-down elementary school, allegedly without the locals’ permission.
A group of Woodlawn residents gathered Thursday morning to insist the community provide resources for locals rather than the migrants, the Chicago Tribune reported. The city reportedly plans to convert Wadsworth Elementary School into housing for migrants relocated to the city.
“I’m here because I am a child of Woodlawn … and I’m speaking on behalf of the people that are here and the one’s that’s [sic] not here,” one resident said, according to video footage from the gathering. “We are very disappointed in this decision that Mayor Lightfoot has made to place these migrants in our community without our permission. Mayor Lightfoot would never pull this type of thing in anyone’s neighborhood. She would not drop off a busload of Haitians in Little Village. She would not drop off a busload of black people in Chinatown. She would not drop off a busload of black people up north.”
The resident asked Lightfoot to “please withdraw your decision to put the migrants in our community.” Ald. Jeanette Taylor told the Tribune the locals’ dissent came from concerns about the lack of resources in Woodlawn, rather than an opposition to the migrants themselves.
Hmm, using the resources for their own? What a great idea, but, I’ve been reliably told by illegal alien supporters that this attitude is racist.
The resident said the migrants should be relocated to the city’s Little Village neighborhood because there is allegedly “more room” there. She cited concerns of fentanyl in the community and a lack of resources, and argued migrants should not take what is already a scarcity of assets.
See, it’s cool that the illegals are sent Over There. Just not in their own neighborhood.

Do you agree that migrants should be assisted in traveling to where they wish while awaiting their dates in immigration court? ? Or kept close to the border?
The illegal “migrants” should be kept in the other side of the border till they can enter legally.
This area is next to Hyde Park, the University of Chicago and the future home of the Obama shrine to himself. There is more to this story. I think someone of a “higher pay grade” wants them gone without going with the full on Martha’s Vineyard type hypocrisy.
