“The thousands of migrants that are being shipped to Democratic led cities, with African American mayors being pawned on to underserved communities is unfair both to the communities, but also unfair to the humanity that is dropped off in the middle of underserved neighborhoods.”

“There’s homeless, there’s violent crimes at a high rate, and money is being found for those that are just getting here. But what about those who have been living in neighborhoods that have been stripped of banks, stripped of grocery stores, stripped of quality education, and all of a sudden there is a group that is coming in and it’s causing animosity between the citizens and the new generation of people that are coming in.”

“When black people say, we want parks, that doesn’t mean that we don’t want X for migrants. And black people say we want jobs. That does not mean that we’re saying we don’t want job, some market. And so the conflating of the issues together, right, is part of the problem. “

“But I think a lot of the drivers for the migration of Black and brown folks is racism, right? And so, you know, our folks were leaving Jim Crow South. Similarly, I think people are coming here with hope to like, acquire living wages, acquire some, you know, some stability. And the only way that I feel like we can preserve that dream, right, is through building racial solidarity so that there is no competition."

“Chicago is and has more work to do, it being a sanctuary city. I will say at times for the African-American community and even our brothers and sisters that are migrants in shelters, it can seem like the sanctuary has turned into a hellhole."
