Chicago’s choice to endorse illegal immigration as a sanctuary city now has local Democrats warring with each other over whether they should let residents vote on that status.
The Chicago City Council convened a special meeting, with some members pushing to let voters decide the city’s sanctuary status in a referendum during the March 19 elections. Mayor Brandon Johnson was against leaving that up to the voters, and aldermen who backed Johnson fought against the move, even turning out the lights at one point after declaring there weren’t enough members present.
It is important to note here that just about everyone involved here is a Democrat. Johnson, the already failing new mayor, is a Democrat. Of the 50 aldermen in Chicago, 47 are Democrats. The remaining three are independents, just one of whom happens to be a former Republican. The other two are a former Democrat and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Therefore, some Democrats are accusing other Democrats of being despicable as the city crumbles under the weight of its sanctuary status. Those other Democrats are accusing the first group of Democrats of being demagogues and fighting to prevent voters from having their say on the issue. Democrats are fighting Democrats while Chicago goes broke thanks to an illegal immigration crisis it created.
At some point, voters can make their voices heard by refusing to empower the Democratic machine that has driven their city into the ground. Then again, voting between a Democrat and an even worse Democrat to lead the city is a Chicago tradition, no matter how bad Johnson and his allies continue to make the Windy City.
