‘Fed Up’ Black Residents Rally to End Millions Spent on Illegals in Major Sanctuary City, Threaten to Vote Republican
Unrest in Chicago’s ‘Sanctuary City’ Policies Sparks Unlikely Pushback
Unrest is brewing in Chicago as locals, including some unexpected voices, are turning against the city’s Democratic government. The recent enactment of a budget that allocated $150 million for illegal aliens has sparked outrage among community members, according to Breitbart.
A group of black Chicago residents recently held a rally outside the offices of city Alderman Desmon Yancy to express their frustration. One protester boldly accused the elected officials of prioritizing the Democratic Party’s interests over the needs of their own constituents.

The protester highlighted the city’s homeless population and questioned why illegal aliens were being provided hotel rooms at the expense of Chicago taxpayers while locals slept on the streets. She emphasized that the community would not remain silent while impoverished individuals from around the world were being placed in already struggling neighborhoods to serve political agendas.
The demonstrator also criticized the continuous arrival of buses carrying needy migrants and the city’s failure to address the issue. This pushback from the community is significant, as it includes a threat to vote for Republicans, a rare occurrence in ultra-progressive Chicago.
According to Breitbart, Mayor Brandon Johnson has allocated over $363 million to support illegal immigrants, further fueling the protesters’ demands for their removal from the city.
Chicago has experienced a significant influx of illegal immigrants, particularly since Joe Biden became president. The strain on the city’s resources has led to growing opposition to its “sanctuary city” policy.
Two city aldermen have even called for a nonbinding referendum on the policy, reflecting the increasing discontent among locals.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?
That happened to me recently. I got up, came to work here at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had happened almost instantly.
But it was even worse. Facebook hit us at the same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. ”Brutal” is a word I’ve used a lot lately.
The fight for the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul is brutal. What the government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused children is brutal.
It’s a fight we must win. But we can’t win without you.
A membership to The Western Journal will go much farther than you think. It costs less than a cup of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles — you’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight against leftism.
Can I count on you to join today? We need your help. Benjamin Franklin summed up the situation we’re all facing when he said, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”
We plan to hang in and fight. Please help us. Please become a member today.
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor

What measures should be in place to ensure that social media platforms apply their policies in a fair and transparent manner, in order to protect the principles of free speech and open dialogue
Freedom of speech and the ability to reach a wide audience has become increasingly difficult in today’s digital landscape. Social media platforms that were once seen as tools for connecting people and sharing information have become gatekeepers, deciding what content is allowed and what is not. The recent incident experienced by The Western Journal is just one example of how quickly and effectively an organization’s reach can be diminished.
In the case of The Western Journal, their readership was drastically reduced when Facebook decided to remove their page from its platform. This move effectively cut off a significant portion of their audience and limited their ability to disseminate information. Furthermore, the loss of advertising revenue added another blow to their operations.
The Western Journal’s experience highlights the increasing power and influence that social media platforms hold over the distribution of information. With the ability to control what content is shown to users and what is suppressed, these platforms have the ability to shape public discourse and control narratives. This raises concerns about the potential for bias and the stifling of diverse viewpoints.
While social media platforms have the right to enforce their own rules and guidelines, it is crucial to ensure that these policies are applied in a fair and transparent manner. The power to silence voices and control information should not be concentrated in the hands of a few tech companies. There must be accountability and oversight to prevent abuses of this power and to protect the principles of free speech and open dialogue.
In the case of The Western Journal, the loss of readership and advertising revenue had a significant impact on their ability to operate. It is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by independent media organizations in the digital age. As the flow of information becomes increasingly centralized, it is important to support and promote diverse and independent sources of news and analysis.
In conclusion, the incident experienced by The Western Journal serves as a wake-up call to the threats faced by freedom of speech and the ability to reach a wide audience. It highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the way social media platforms enforce their policies. As users and consumers of information, we must be vigilant in ensuring that our access to diverse viewpoints and open dialogue is not compromised by the actions of a few powerful entities.
