As Democrats prepare for the Democratic National Convention, which begins in Chicago on August 19, there is a lot of work to do. And there is a bit of housework on the to-do list, too. Since Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, also known as the border czar, will certainly not be talking about her epic failure at the southern border during the convention, the evidence of that failure must be hidden. That means a major cleanup and transformation job in downtown Chicago. And that’s exactly what city leaders are doing.
I’m in Chicago. They’re everywhere! In front of grocery stores, department stores, etc. I think we’ve had over 40,000 illegal immigrants in the last 3.5 years alone. Most are from Venezuela. Too bad the DNC won’t allow them near the United Center during the convention.

To showcase Chicago’s best face to the entire nation, Mayor Brandon Johnson and other city officials have begun to illegally relocate homeless people Immigrants from the inner city. Newly arrived illegal immigrants are being moved from the downtown shelter to a shelter on Chicago’s south side. City leaders claim the move has nothing to do with the upcoming convention. True.
The cleanup began in June when a enormous encampment was cleared. Maura McCauley, deputy director of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, revealed that the clean-up work It was approved “on a fast track basis” ahead of the convention, but claimed the reason was that the city wanted to do it before any convention security would demand its removal.
The silent part that city officials are not talking about is the fact that Chicago could prepare for a enormous influx of recent illegal immigrants into the city on the eve of the party convention. Already in July, at the Republican National Convention, the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, vowed to continue to transport illegal immigrants to the north by bus. The number of illegal Immigrants who In Chicago, there were 25,000 during the convention week, but it is not known if this is an exact number.
As Chicago has learned, being a sanctuary city is not economical. The $53 billion that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker The state budget includes $182 million is intended to support Chicago cover the cost of caring for illegal immigrants. However, since 2022, the city has spent $430 million to care for the approximately 46,000 illegal immigrants who have come to Chicago. Since November 2023, the Illinois Comptroller’s Office reports $126 million spent on asylum seekers. This does not include medical assistance and rental assistance, as well as other local government benefits.

Local sources say Chicago officials are desperately trying to clear illegal immigrants from downtown and the West Loop to make room for the Democratic National Convention next week. #IllegalImmigrationhttps://t.co/Hb7eChQUxI— Drs1 Cbuster (@AngryBMBC2023) 14 August 2024
Closer to the United Center, where the Congress will be held, both residents and citizens in the neighborhood are not cheerful with their recent neighbors and they are also unhappy with Brandon Johnson. One resident who has lived in the area for 18 years said: “It is virtually impossible to live safely on our own block, work properly or even walk our dogs.” He added that he felt Brandon Johnson had let both citizens and asylum seekers down. One business owner said:
“(My clients are) scared when they come here. They’ve been approached by people on the street. It’s just been a very scary situation for everyone.”
But while Democrats once again try to transform Kamala Harris into the media image they believe is necessary to win – a female Barack Obama without oratorical mastery – Operation Chicago Cleanup is nothing recent. It’s just a matter of repackaging and sweeping under the rug an issue that is at the top of Americans’ campaign issues, and Democrats know they can’t run on the issue they created.
Democrats have realized that if they want to push the illegal immigrants in Chicago out of the spotlight during the convention, it is much easier to pretend that nothing happened – like many other things they are hiding.
