Angry residents of Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood gathered to oppose City Hall's plans to house several hundred illegal border crossers.
, “I don’t want them there! Take them someplace else or send them back to Venezuela! I don’t care where they go!”
Hyde Park resident Cornell Tyler was careful to note that it is perfectly fine to take care of people, but one should take care of his own first. Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management added that the illegals are only scheduled to stay at the hotel for six months but would not commit to that as a hard deadline, adding that things could easily change, and the timeline could be extended.
City officials never informed the neighborhood of the plans but said they would move ahead on Friday despite what residents said at the Wednesday meeting. He also blasted the naysayers and their opposition to the housing plans and accused them of aiding an “attack on the city of Chicago” by other states sending buses of illegals to the Windy City.
