The migrants in Chicago have divided the residents in Chicago. I feel we all would like to help the new arrivals, but at whose and what expense are we willing to do this? Let’s be honest: Chicago is not prepared to feed, clothe and provide housing for the thousands of new immigrants, and until we are, we should pause in accepting any new arrivals.
Would we let a family adopt any children if they could not provide food, medicine, clothing and housing for them? I think not. I think we need to take a step back and find solutions to these problems before we accept any new arrivals. In addition, the only money the City of Chicago has is taxpayers’ money, so yes, Chicagoans should have input as to how its spent. That being said, I ask our mayor to tell us: How much of our money are you willing to spend?
