Residents and a Chicago official have spoken out against city plans to make a local field house a shelter for illegal immigrants.
Chicago alderman Chris Taliaferro released a statement last week confirming that he received notice that the city intended to use the Amundsen Park field house to house roughly 200 migrants.
“On Friday, September 29, 2023, I was informed by Deputy Chief of Staff Cristina Pacione-Zayas that a decision had been made to utilize Amundsen Park, 6200 W. Bloomingdale Ave., to house approximately 200 migrants. I immediately informed Deputy Pacione-Zayas that I strongly opposed the proposal and that this would adversely impact the neighborhood and park programming,” Taliaferro’s statement read.
“This proposal disregards the issues of public safety that are of great neighborhood concern and that our police department has been working tirelessly to turn around. It overlooks the programming that is enjoyed by our senior and youth residents that actively utilize the park.”
From The Gateway Pundit:
The illegal immigrant crisis can be blamed on the Biden Regime. If our southern border had been secured, our Nation would not be having problems of this magnitude. Cities like Chicago are overrun by illegals to the point where they are now living in airports and potentially at parks.
