Chicago’s Controversial Move: $9,000 Assistance for Illegal Immigrants Amidst Projected Deficit
In a controversial move, Chicago is extending a financial lifeline to illegal immigrants by providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a span of six months, all while the city grapples with a projected $538 million deficit in 2024.
Where the Money Goes: The financial aid is earmarked for covering rent and includes a “starter kit” to help illegal immigrants furnish their new subsidized apartments.
Official Stance: Cristina Pacione-Zayas, the city’s first deputy chief of staff, defends the initiative, stating, “The aim is for individuals to eventually sustain their apartments independently after legal work authorization.”
A Broader Perspective: Presently, Chicago is home to approximately 11,000 illegal immigrants, with 4,000 residing in unconventional accommodations such as police stations and airports.
Nationwide Implications: The backdrop to this local decision is the larger context of nearly 8 million illegal border crossings since Joe Biden assumed office. Of these, 5.8 million were apprehended, with the majority processed into the U.S., while an additional 1.6 million managed to evade apprehension.
$9,000 for Illegal Immigrants vs. $700 Checks for Lahaina Residents: Critics argue that such policies reflect an “American-last” approach, highlighting the stark contrast between substantial financial aid for illegal immigrants and comparatively modest relief, such as $700 checks, for American residents in places like Lahaina.
