Proud patriot and conservative. Ive paid my debts to society and pulled myself from the mud and mire of addiction, prison and certain death. GET AFTER IT DAILY
@GovPritzker Why dont you and brandon Johnson race baiting asses DO SOMETHING ABOUT CONSTANT BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE????? while your at it, have the ctu teach our kids to read instead of indoctrinated them with hatred towards white people and conservative thought...
Fair point, but the money still went take care of the influx of immigrants regardless of how it was washed. I work in the high commercial construction industry here in Chicago and I can assure you that money went to special interest groups and the like. Chicago residents have seen the destruction caused as a result....especially Southside residents... the taxes and city policy are major contributors to the bears departure but much of that inflation is a result of the handouts the city gave and continues to give. Its obvious to everyone (with a brain) who lives in Chicago. The city policy with catch and release has made for some real dangerous shit in our city as well... bottom line democrats are making things worse for sure. We need new leadership and need it desperately. And all the articles and think tank data you want to throw around....fine...come on down to my neighborhood and me these policy's aren't the problem. Chicago is hemorrhaging money but still supporting people who should not be here....dont care what your articles say...all I have to do is walk outside.
@upbyahundred@MattWalshBlog Ok dickhead. 630 million in housing and assistance. Plus they get free phones...please shut the fuck up you are embarrassing yourself. And that sir is why we hate you. Moron.
Chicago-specific services
Chicago is a “Welcoming City” and does not ask about immigration status for most city services. During the 2022–2024+ migrant surge (tens of thousands, many Venezuelans bused from Texas), the city, state, county, and federal grants spent more than $630 million on emergency shelters (including police stations and airports at peak), food, and case management. An inspector general review found no major spending irregularities.6e07b6

Other local access:
Emergency shelter via city intake.
Food pantries and charitable clinics.
Chicago CityKey municipal ID (usable for some city services, libraries, transit).
Public school enrollment for children.
Some township General Assistance in cases of “great hardship,” though undocumented eligibility is limited.78b30d

These are mostly temporary or emergency supports, not ongoing cash welfare like TANF.
Bottom line
Undocumented immigrants in Chicago do not receive the core federal welfare package (SNAP, TANF, regular Medicaid). They do receive constitutionally required public education for children, emergency medical care, some Illinois-funded health coverage (especially for kids), and, during the recent influx, substantial city/state emergency housing and food. Asylum applicants and certain other categories can access additional state VTTC benefits. Mixed-status families add another layer because U.S.-citizen children qualify independently.
@stuntondeezhoez@MattWalshBlog What do Alderman have to do with sanctuary city, catch an release and city programs and funds doled out to all his buddies have to do with anything?
Sanctuary city status, giving illegals billions of tax payer dollars, thats the main thing. Allowing the teachers union to have a blank check when they dont teach our kids how to read or do math, but the definitely teach them to hate trump hate white people and to be gay. CATCH AND RELEASE there's no consequences for crime....should I go on or are you retarded ?
@defense_civil25 Dont need a gun against 99.9% of these weak freaks. Make whipping some ones ass great again. If more of these fucks got punched in the face this shit would stop.
