Chicago Proposes Millionaire Tax to Fund Housing for Illegal Immigrants Amid Outrage
Sep 8, 2024, 04:48 PM
Chicago alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez has proposed a tax on millionaires to fund housing for illegal immigrants. The proposal has sparked significant outrage among local residents, with many expressing frustration over the prioritization of resources for migrants over the needs of homeless Black Americans, who make up 73% of the homeless population in the city. Lopez mentioned that the Colombian president is set to visit Chicago to thank the city for its support of migrants from Colombia. Critics argue that the funds, part of the $66 Billion spent on illegal aliens in 2023, could be better used to support local communities, such as providing armed security in schools or aiding poor Black parents.
