Chicago Residents Fed Up With City's Spending on Migrants: 'Are Y'all Lying to Us' (Video)

Chicago’s leadership faced intense backlash during a City Council committee hearing on Friday, as residents vented their frustration over the city’s irresponsible spending on migrants. Although the meeting couldn’t officially proceed due to a lack of quorum, the public comments were more than enough to expose the outrage simmering beneath the surface.

“Are y’all lying to us?” a furious Chicago resident demanded, pointing to the city’s alarming $400 million expenditure on migrants last year. With the city now grappling with a $235 million deficit, residents are demanding answers. “The city overspent to pay for people who haven’t contributed to our tax base while we’re left footing the bill,” the resident continued, echoing the sentiment of countless others who feel abandoned by the city’s open-borders agenda.

At the heart of the issue is the left-wing leadership’s unwavering commitment to spending taxpayer dollars on migrants at the expense of Chicago’s future. Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, one of the key proponents of these policies, suggested a November referendum to tax millionaires by 3 percent to fund migrant services, saying, “We have 120,000 millionaires who can pay their fair share.”

But this idea of “fair share” is enraging Chicagoans who see their city spiraling into economic disaster. The 50,000 migrants arriving by bus and plane from Texas are further burdening a city already stretched to its limits. These policies are not just hurting Chicago—they are killing America, eroding its institutions, its financial stability, and its national identity.

The absurdity reached new heights when Sigcho-Lopez proudly announced that Colombia’s president would visit Chicago to applaud the city’s efforts in supporting migrants. Meanwhile, Chicagoans are left wondering when their own government will start supporting them.

The harsh truth is that these open-borders policies, celebrated by left-wing politicians, are hollowing out cities like Chicago and setting a dangerous precedent for the rest of America. The city’s leadership is pushing an agenda that prioritizes illegal immigrants over its own citizens, and the cost isn’t just financial—it’s the very future of America itself.
