They are never put in a rich neighborhood! Remember how fast Martha's Vineyard got rid of the migrants? They were gone the next day.

[aliceangel]

WAKE UP! Just because a politician (Mayor/Governor) is "Black" does not mean that he/she wants to HELP "Black" people! Remember that when you vote again!

[shazat]

It is so sad that we can't provide any solutions for the American citizens that are homeless, yet we are willing to do so much more for immigrants.

[aka]

What about the men and women who risked everything for this country. Why can’t we just help them! It’s honestly depressing how evil our government is. The way we treat veterans is DISGUSTING. When Uncle Sam calls, the American people are not picking up anymore

[chinesekungfu]

FINALLY they understand why conservatives want a closed border!

[West_Coast]

That's so kind of you Chicago citizens to vote for this.

[rondasmith]

I’m betting they are not being put in the mayor neighborhood or the spokesman for the mayor. If they want to help them so bad allow them to come live in your neighborhood.

[robinjackson]

Our responsibility should be for our own citizens who are homeless and seeking a better life!

[joefran]

So if Brandon Johnson is so concerned for the love and support of the migrants, maybe he should take a few to his home, and offer the love and support?

[derp]

So quick to give immigrants homes while our own people struggle to even have a home smh

[raymondlin]

Donald Trump was right, and people were calling him racist when he was talking about his beautiful wall. 😅😅😅

[SrikantSunkara]

They are ok if this is happening in Texas or somewhere else, but not ok and outraged if it is in their community. Hypocrisy.

[plhzpup]

Guaranteed 90% of these resident voted for Brandon Johnson. YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR!!!! Vallas would NEVER had allowed this!

[Armychick]

It’s too late. I’m an Army veteran and to think I would have DIED for you, this country just brings me to my knees in tears.

[isadoritz]

Elites never get to be subjected to the consequences of their ideologies.

[tonka]

When politicians use words like “love and support” you know you’re getting the raw deal.

[GetOffMyStoop]

Hits different when its happening in your back yard, huh. Just wanna point you that liberal Chicago was all about opening that border up. Keep that same energy and keep them buses going.

[caspernetherlands]

Chicagoans this is what you voted for! It is insulting if you stand against your leaders!

[sharicampbell]

I am a very patient person. I went to a store and the clerk couldn’t speak English well. After asking me the same question about six times I got angry and wanted to yell at this person. I didn’t but thought how are they allowed to still come here after all these years and can’t communicate. This is crazy, unfair, and causes confusion. Stop the influx of illegals.

[randys]

They are okay with it happening in Texas, but not when it is happening in their own community.
