As the City of Chicago continues to struggle to deal with the flood of illegal migrants showing up and demanding sanctuary and other resources, the city’s leaders have continued to seek places to set up emergency shelters for them. The latest effort is slated to be a “tent camp” erected in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the southwest side of the city. Construction work had already begun on a ten-acre parcel of land that has traditionally been available for public use, but that ground to a halt two days ago when local residents showed up and formed a human barricade to prevent construction equipment from moving into or out of the site. The protesters carried signs and waved American flags. After a few hours, the police were called and they removed some of the protesters, allowing the work to move forward. But the neighbors promised that they would be back and will continue to oppose this project. (CBS Chicago)Read More
