  • I am an immigrant and I am against what's going on, It took me 12 yrs to become a citizen and with the immigration and attorney's fees, It cost me more than $10.000 to become a citizen and you are giving that for free!!!! come on man!!!!!
  • @MilR8897
    Chicago has not had a Republican mayor since 1931.
  • How can Chicago spend $70 million when the city has a $358 million deficit. Where is the money coming from.
  • @bbkr7910
    The booing at that white liberal brings me a little hope that people are starting to wake up.
  • @thehoncholife
    Mental health care for the migrants we don’t even have mental health care for the US citizens that have lived here and were born here
  • @kimmy3469
    Don’t use the word immigrant because the honest terminology is illegal immigrants. Support for legally entered immigrants is always okay but taking tax payers money and giving it to people who deliberately crossed the border illegally and didn’t stand in line over hard working citizens is WRONG. The black communities are already under served. The veterans are already underserved. How are they supposed to feel about illegal immigrants staying in nice hotels while American citizens and veterans are sleeping on bus benches. You all took an oath to uphold the constitution of the USA 🇺🇸. Serve the CITIZENS of the USA. You’re breaking your oaths.
  • @starfox1395
    How about use that 70 Million Dollars to help our U.S. American Veterans off the streets?
  • @mikewatts1533
    Every time that guy up there says, "Thank you very much for your comment." All I'm hearing is Fuck You and now get outta here!
  • @mikewatts1533
    To that gentleman in the green sweatshirt, thank you for your service, brother. Too many times, Veterans feel forgotten, and that should never happen.
  • Watching this makes me sick. This is outrageous ‼️ Unjust‼️ UNFAIR‼️ Corruption‼️
  • @FreedomHart98
    My dad took 20 years to become a citizen in the US. Works hard. Pays taxes. Laborer and Republican. Now these ungratefuls come and take. I am so angry. How dare they spit on our land and our true nations colors. They force this on us. One day. It will all back fall on them and things will be in order.

    Hey Chicago. Brandon Johnson does not care about you. Wake up.
  • @chrhadden
    the ukraine money would have been enough for every major city
  • @skullIsland41
    We just gave Ukraine 90 billion.... That's way more than 70 million 😬
