Chicago — Chicago immigrants who do not have legal status in the U.S. are eligible for all relief programs run by the city amid the coronavirus outbreak, Mayor Lori Lightfoot ordered Tuesday. Lightfoot said that includes programs for housing assistance and low-interest small business loans administered by the city. Immigrants who do not have legal status in the U.S. are excluded from the $2 trillion federal relief package approved by Congress. The package is limited to those who have filed federal taxes using Social Security Numbers. Chicago Alderman George Cardenas said that left out people who are “the heart and soul of the service economy.”

So, ICE should pick them up when they come to collect, dump them over the border.

The heart and soul of the illegal democratic voter base in Chicoronago. This will just be depriving CITIZENS who will not receive aid when the money runs out because it went to ILLEGALS instead.

Am I hearing this correctly??? Someone who is here illegally, using a fraudulent (ILLEGAL) Social Security number to file taxes, can continue to benefit from their illegal entry into this country and get free benefits due to the virus? Stop making ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS into some kind of martyrs. Yes, they are here working and living in our communities. It is the steps that they took to get here and the laws they broke / ignored, and continue to ignore that make them ineligible for benefits. They are ineligible due to their actions. They can take steps to correct their actions but choose not to because politicians and activists like Mayor Lightfoot and Alederman Cardenas are enabling them to continue their illegal activities.

I have a better idea. Start shutting down all non-essential government agencies (federal, state, and local, including elected offices) WITHOUT PAY, and use the money for individuals and small businesses who have been locked out of work, provided they have proof of citizenship.
As a noted Democrat said, this is a great opportunity to restructure government...just not the way he thought.

She must have made the decision when she was getting her hair done. Another politician like the great one (OBAMA) with a lot of empty space between those ears.

We should cut federal dollars to these places doing this in the exact amount they are spending on this. No reason we should be paying law breakers for breaking laws. Make the governors of these states take it out of the state budgets.

If your offering financial incentives to illegal aliens, don't be surprised when more of them show up on Chicago.
Isn't Chicago beyond broke already?

Re #10. Chicago is broke and so is Illinois. they don't have the money to pay for this. They overtax their citizens now and if they come up with some outrageous "special" tax to finance this they will see a mass outflow of taxpaying residents. Add in the inevitable inflow of more illegals to hoover up the benefits and the reduced revenue to the city because of the shuttered economy and you will see a real disaster.

In the past when illegal aliens in the USA could not get the kinds of work that they were qualified to perform, large numbers of illegal aliens packed up and returned to mainly Mexico. Since the Democrats consider illegal aliens to be a Democrat constituency in accordance with Democrat identity group politics, and future Democrat voters, the last thing that Democrat Governors and Mayors want is for large numbers of the illegal alien population to return to their home countries. By handing illegal aliens all sorts of State and local assistance the Democrats know that they are encouraging their current illegal alien population groups to stick around and a lot of future mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA, and that's exactly what the Democrats want.

Please, #12, don't let those who are fleeing Chicago come to Florida! We have enough (too many?) of those fleeing new York. They get what they voted for, so keep it!

Not only is Lightfoot extremely unattractive, she's proving herself to be stupid also! Chicago, you deserve her.

Yes, vote-buying is a magnet for illegals. Let them populate the big liberal cities.
