Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago, along with other sanctuary cities, are missing a golden opportunity.
As Texas and Florida make political pawns out of immigrants legitimately seeking asylum, they could do more to help and turn the situation into a positive for all involved. Sanctuary city leaders should reach out to industries in their given cities about their worker needs. One example would be the hotel industry. A recent news story highlighted the fact that hotels are not cleaning all rooms every day due to staff shortages, and this type of situation is not restricted to that industry. You can see “Help Wanted” signs all over for companies big and small.
