Chicago residents ‘turn their backs’ on Democrats

a Chicago city council meeting was raw and real residents tour into city leaders over the 35,000 illegal immigrants who have poured into Chicago and the city is on a spending spree for those people who broke our laws to get here critics are accusing the city of prioritizing border crosses over minority communities in particular get them out of our communities because they don't deserve to be there downtown has three to four legal families on every block begging for work and selling Kit Kat bars

after a billion dollars was spent on them where is that money where is the money for the Southside and the West Side communities not another dollar for the illegals if the crisis is so bad the city council members who are so concerned should donate their salaries to the cause like a real public servant should that's from a recent uh well yesterday it was breaking live during this hour that's from that city council meeting and and we couldn't see it everybody but we played it for you anyway now w

e have so much more of it to play uh Illinois has spent more than $1 billion doar of Chicago tax money already on the people who are there so the Illinois governor thinks he has the answer to it all he's blaming Texas Abbott willfully planned the arrival of these individuals in locations and at times that would engender the maximum chaos for the city of Chicago think about that the next time a politician from Texas wants to lecture you about being a good Christian they shouldn't leave it to the

governor of Texas who has no goal but to se chaos and destruction katat truss has lived in Chicago her entire life K how bad is it it's really bad and the sentiment of most of Chicago is that of the young lady one of the young ladies that you heard uh Jessica um the sentiment of Chicagoans are is the same and I just listened to the sound bite with governor pisker who wants to blame Governor Abbott but I think that we have to be realistic in thinking about what the state of Texas was going throug

h before they began busting migrants here and I don't think we really think about that so we're looking at it now as Chicagoans receiving migrants from the state of Texas but imagine what it must be like in that state of B Texas on a daily B basis where people are arriving our president uh President Biden has not done enough he has not done enough to secure the borders he has not done enough to go in and propose some legislation that he can uh push forth himself to change this situation and I'm

telling you we're so angry here in Chicago which has been a democratic stronghold for most of its eternity um this year we're working to turn Chicago Red we are so angry with pritsker and with President Biden and with our mayor that we have decided that we're going to vote Republican this time around that's just how angry we are we are so angry that we are willing and going to turn our backs on the Democratic Party I sat in some of those City Council meetings and I looked at and I watched the al

derman totally disregard the voices of the people and when I was going down there it was we were coming down every week in the hundreds and what we said did not matter and when we were talking about changing Chicago's status as a sanctuary City and keep in mind we still have a right to do that just like Biden has the right to put forth an executive order to change the crisis as at the border Chicago's mayor has the right to put forth an executive order to change Chicago Sanctuary do it of course

he will not do it um if he was going to do it it would be would have been done and remember there was a vote within city council where the ordinance to change it was strucken down and the mayor was the deciding vote ah okay so I want to play just a little bit it's actually a clip from your Democratic mayor Brandon Johnson just after that city council meeting yesterday that got pretty chippy and at the end of the day he is the one you are counting on in all of this as you just said it's his vote

it's his in those meetings it's his voice it's his leadership that matters let's watch we're grateful that the state and the county is working towards providing more Investments even though we have to have a more substantive conversation about where those dollars will actually go so so I just have one question Chicago had a choice after Lori Lightfoot who was breaking covid protocols to go get her hair done and all sorts of things they didn't have to go farther left with Brandon Johnson why did

you vote for him I voted for Brandon Johnson because I knew him I voted for Brandon Johnson because I thought that he would be good for Chicago I voted for Brandon Johnson because really I didn't do my homework because had I done my homework work and paid attention to the alliances and who he was with and who groomed him I would have known better and I would have voted differently and that brings me um to the challenge of really standing up and not just saying to Chicagoans or illinoisans but t

o all voters in this country it is time for us to stand up and to vote ourself interest we vote along party lines especially as African-Americans and that needs to change we need to start voting for people who are going to promote our self-interest and that may not be a Democrat and it may not be a republican it may be an independent candidate it may be a de Green Party candidate but I think that now we have come to a point in this country where we have to stop marrying ourselves to party stop v

oting along ethnic lines because we're seeing that that is not working for us and so that is why I will be voting Republican for the first time wow that is a lot that's a lot of change and it only took three years with one president to undo what you said a lifetime of democratic voting in Chicago at least for you um does it make a difference if Republicans come to see you this election cycle and talk about this issue on the ground in Chicago I think the Republicans need to come and see us I thin

k they need to come and talk to us um because let me just say this that the Republican party has not been spotless and there are certainly some issues that we would love to discuss with them that I think that we can um have some common ground on I think that we can agree to be disagreeable on some issues but yes this is the perfect time for the Republican party to come into the city of Chicago the state of Illinois and sit down and talk to the people because we are looking for change K trust God
