Anonymous wrote:I live in Chicago and find it shocking how the city and state have come up with orders of magnitude more $$ to help the influx (relatively small influx that it even is, relative to our country's total numbers) of migrants / illegal immigrants / asylum seekers when the obvious problems with our domestic Black and Latino communities have gone minimally addressed (despite SO MUCH handwringing from elected Democrats in our city) for such a long time. This issue will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for low income citizens who are underemployed, lack healthcare, lack decent education, lack affordable and safe housing, and are going to be pitted against this new illegal immigrant community. Elected Democrats are completely tone deaf on this issue.
The democrats want all these people to be included in the census. That gives them more congressional members. People are fleeing blue states for red states and those people will give red states more congressional members. These migrants will, in Democrats minds, make up for that internal migration. This is ALL about total power. They don’t care about the problems with poor communities that exist now and have existed - those people are already counted.
