Chicago residents are enraged at city leaders who didn't consult them about a migrant housing plan that would re-purpose a local field and displace youth, senior programs.
Chicagoans are enraged after it was revealed the city plans to house hundreds of migrants at a local park, displacing youth and senior programs as the Windy City continues to battle an influx of illegal immigrants. Linda Johnson was one of the hundreds of residents who attended a protest against the move on Tuesday. She joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss why she is outraged by the intention to re-purpose Amundsen Park field.
He continued, 'The proposal further disregards democracy whereby the residents and their locally elected officials have an opportunity to discuss the issues before decisions are made that would impact their lives. It takes away valuable neighborhood resources from a community that, in part, had been disinvested in for decades. It is because of these reasons and the fact that viable alternatives are available, that I strongly oppose closing Amundsen Park to house migrants seeking asylum.
