Chicago Mayor-Elect Lori Lightfoot Says She Will Welcome Shipments of Illegals

Breitbart: Chicago’s first black, gay, female mayor who will take office in May says that she would welcome shipments of illegals if the Trump administration were to send them to the Windy City.

Lightfoot’s exclamation was in response to a tweet by President Donald Trump, who said he agreed with the idea of sending busloads of illegals to so-called sanctuary cities.

The mayor-elect, though, didn’t seem to think any shipments of illegals would occur and said she thought Trump was just being “provocative,” according to Fox News. She added that Trump’s rhetoric was “much ado about nothing.”

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked Lightfoot if she agreed with outgoing Mayor Rham Emanuel that illegals are welcome in Chicago, to which she replied, “of course.”

“We have people who are routinely coming to this city. We have a whole infrastructure that’s built up to make sure that their rights are protected while the city of Chicago has, under the current administration, provided funding for various groups to help support asylum seekers and other people that are going through the immigration court system. I expect it will continue, if not expand upon, those kinds of resources,” the first-time elected official told CNN.  more

  1. “We have a whole infrastructure that’s built up to make sure that their rights are protected…”

    Yeah but screw the rights of the average citizen of Chicago who not only has to pay for them, but also probably stands a 1 in 10 chance of being shot on any given day out on the streets by gang thugs.

    But hey, Obummer said elections have consequences!

  2. The lunatics have a death grip on the major cities in the U.S. The influence peddling, graft and nepotism keep the crooked machines locked in for decades. That control radiates outward throughout the entire state and every resident pays the price. Instead of fighting the thugs and regaining control of the state people just migrate to other states and begin contaminating them. We’re screwed!

  3. This, after all the cleanup done in Cabrini Green. It’s like a woman who leaves an abusive relationship only to settle with the first guy who punches her lights out because she thinks that’s normal.

  4. And I also hear that they’re are idiots who are actually considering making Chicago the 51st state. Good luck with that shit. This woman is without a doubt making Al Capone looking good by comparison in how corrupt that she is. Once again I will never willingly go to Chicago, not even to watch a Cubs game, it’s that bad and worse.

  5. Gin Blossom is right–people just migrate to other states and begin contaminating them–Somalis in California migrate to Minnesota to be with their family members and no one can stop them. MN is where their meat packing jobs are. New Rep Omar is well aware of this.

  6. “She Will Welcome Shipments of Illegals”

    Huh? Just a scant 75 years ago this was proof of TREASON.

    Lord Darlington in England?
    Pierre Laval who welcomed the German “illegals” into France?
    Quisling of Norway?
    Seyss-Inquart of Austria?

    My, how far we have fallen …

    izlamo delenda est …

  7. The media doesn’t know which way to spin this story.

    Gavin Newsome, future and currently undeclared Presidential candidate, says its shameful. An anonymous (of course) “former DHS official, presumably under Obama, says its blatantly illegal.

    But then all the Democommie mayors say “send us everyone you’ve got”!

    Just attack Trump on all sides.

    Let the burden of healthcare, law enforcement and the courts fall on these bright blue dots.

    It can be the Mariel Boatlift. The bigger the thug, the closer they should be dropped off in the middle of these high cost of living urban centers.

    If they’re caught in another state before their false asylum claims are adjudicated, they should be executed on sight.

  8. But they won’t stay in Chicago or LA. They’ll scatter like roaches. Just send them back to their origin country. And if they’re caught here again illegally, execute them. They are invaders, not immigrants.

  9. Sleeping on the sidewalk in Chicago will take its toll in the icy winter months. In the summer you’ll just be rapped, robbed and hit by a stray round. Perhaps not in that order.

  10. Anyway, we should not be letting a bunch of rogue communists dictate which laws they will or will not enforce. Either we live by the rule of law or we do not.

    Hmm… “representative”, uh “republic?”… general suffrage… carry the zero…

    Um… are you really offering me a choice? I mean, I’ll make a choice, if I’m really being offered one.
