Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson quietly signs $26 MILLION contract with security firm to build migrant camps
2023-09-22
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson has quietly signed a $29million contract with a security firm to build migrant base camps, as residents plead with the city's democratic leaders to stop letting asylum seekers in the state.
A good place to quietly put the regular homeless as well, one imagines.
The city's deal with the controversial Garda World firm, signed last week, includes at least six locations across the city, with zones holding between 200 and 1,400 asylum seekers. It also includes bedding, laundry, showers, three meals a day and security.

It comes as Chicago residents are becoming increasingly concerned about a surge of asylum seekers arriving on buses from southern states. Many of the migrants have been transported north from Republican border states in a bid to prove the Democrats' open arms policies are a disaster.

'I want to know if there is a capacity limit and what is that limit if there is one?' one city resident asked at a community event this week. 'And why can't we close the borders of Chicago or the state of Illinois in the first place? Why can't we close the border?'

Chicago has seen 13,000 migrants arrive in the city since August 2022, and the surge is expected to cost taxpayers $302 million by the end of the year.

#6  Brandon and company get precisely what they most desire, another expanding, multi-front public-welfare project. It can never shrink, never go away and only accrue more power to the State.

Your US Taxpayer $$$$$ at work in Chicago.

BREAKING: NBC 5 CHICAGO reports that private shelter employees that house illegal immigrants make from $135 per hour up to $200 per hour.

A manager of a migrant facility made $14,000 in one week and a nurse earned $20,000 in a week.

#2  No matter how you look at it.

Whether its $26 or $29 Million, of the Taxpayers money. It boils down to the Liberals, Socialist, Democrat Party & White House controllers Open Borders Agenda.

Because, when you do the math, the $320M projected total 2023 US Taxpayer Chicago alone costs, works out to around $24,600+ for each Chicago placed Illegal alien. Now Imagine that $24k instead applied to US Citizen families in need?

So, where are the usual vocal area, run to the camera, Community Leaders / Activists?

Why aren't they demanding the LSD's secure the borders and take care of American's FIRST?

Seriously.
There are 100 ways to have better used the $$$M. When you have Chicago Areas like: Austin, Englewood, Garfield Park, Grand Crossing, and Chatham with over 100 murders and 700 attempted murders (shootings), so far this year ?
