MAKE WOODLAWN GREAT AGAIN.

I'm referring to a neighborhood in Chicago where lame nag Lori Lightfoot has been attempting to shelter the illegal immigrants border state governors are sending her way, apparently taking her claims to offer a sanctuary city seriously.  The idle public school that was at the center of controversy in January is still a center of controversy.

These people clearly watched too much Tucker Carlson. How else would they end up with ideas like this? https://t.co/n55fU0PuBT

The local television stations covered the meeting. Here's WLS.

The reporting is instructive.

There are also plans to send migrants to an old school building at 76th and Constance in the South Shore. The building has been vacant since 2014, but community members said they feel the move will be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood.

"We are not inhumane to people's plight. But we are looking at the reality of the world we live in and we think it's irresponsible to take a people whose community is already in disarray and place additional people without resources," said Brian Mullins of the Black American Voter Project.

In South Shore, where community leaders have spent the better part of a decade fighting to get the old school building repurposed, the sudden move to place incoming migrants there feels like a slap in the face.

"We're very active and engaged in this community and it just doesn't fit well to have a group of migrants to descend on this particular area because it's a transient situation. We have stability here. We're not comfortable with the crime on 75th, but to add migrants to that, it's overwhelming," said Natasha Dunn of the Black Community Collective.

Let's say the constituents were not happy.

City leaders could barely eke out a word of the details about the proposed respite center before attendees started booing and demanding to vote. They expressed concerns about whether migrants have had background checks, considering there are some home daycares in the area.

"These are families," said Nubia William, the city's chief engagement officer. "They are asylum seekers."

Chicago police officials also promised there would be officers at the respite center 24/7, exactly the kind of services residents say they've begged for and been denied.

"All of a sudden we have deep pockets for people who don't pay taxes," said one attendee. "I understand helping people, but you start with your own home."

"I think it would be fair for every homeless immigrant that you bring in, that you scoop up a homeless here," another attendee said.

There are people working with the city to offer the new arrivals help.  "For some helping the new arrivals, the situation is difficult to witness. Pastors Luzy and Pedro Gomez said they see things getting worse."  Chicago's politics are tribal, not in a good way.

That's what's going on in Chicago.  Pajamas Media Trumpians are counting coup.  "Because Democrats never get anything right when it comes to border issues, the problem so quickly spiraled even more out of control that it was obvious that everything they complained about Trump doing on the southern border was what worked best."  I mean, when people in Father Pfleger's parish want a wall built?
