The DNC’s 2024 Convention City is Drowning in Illegal Aliens

Daniel Greenfield November 02, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

When officials of the donkey party toured Chicago last month in preparation for the 2024 convention, no one wanted to talk about the elephant in the city. The 100 Democratic Party delegates got a tour of the massive United Center arena which is also about the one building in the city that isn’t overrun with hordes of illegal aliens.

With an estimated 1,250 migrant invaders arriving by bus every day, they’re sleeping on the floors of every police station and over 800 of the illegals are staying at O’Hare Airport. In a city where winter temperatures can fall into the negative teens, the administration’s only plan to cope with the human tide is to put up ‘winterized’ tent camps in city parks and other areas.

These giant tents might house as many as 1,000 of the illegal invaders each.

But despite the massive 960,000 square feet of space in the United Center arena, no one is talking about utilizing it to house the illegals. That would not only displace Dave Chappelle and the Wu Tang Clan, it would also be poor optics for the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

But while party delegates are planning for their big shindig in the Windy City, Mayor Brandon Johnson, the radical leftist who ran on a platform of keeping Chicago a “sanctuary city” and extending “this sanctuary promise to everyone who needs it in our city – both long-time residents and newcomers alike” is heading to the border to get more “information”.

Meanwhile Cristina Pacione Zayas, his deputy chief of staff, assured reporters that the migrant tent cities in sub-zero weather “are not concentration camps”. The first rule of public relations is that if you’re a pro-illegal alien progressive and you have to deny that you’re building concentration camps for illegal aliens, something has gone terribly wrong.

The desperate new leftist administration turned to Aegis Defense Services: a British-Canadian private military contractor that used to handle security for the U.S. embassy in Kabul, to set up the tent cities. Chicago is no longer just Chiraq, it’s also Chifghanistan.

Gov. Pritzker, once a strong ally of Biden, has proposed dumping the illegal aliens in federal buildings. He also dispatched a letter to Biden warning that “the federal government’s lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois.”

While the future home of the DNC 2024 convention remains off-limits, Chicago has been taking over schools and parks, and closing day care centers, to accommodate the endless invasion.

And Chicagoans are mad as hell.

In Galewood, African-American residents blasted Johnson over plans to turn over a park to the invaders.

“You want to take the little scraps of resources we have and put us at the bottom of the barrel? That’s not fair!” one woman argued. “A lot of these young boys, they don’t have fathers so a lot of these coaches, they are their fathers. They spend part of their weekend here along with during the week, that keeps them in a safe place, it gives them mentorship, it shows them discipline.”

In Woodlawn, black residents had tried to block migrant buses with their bodies. In South Shore, a former director of equity and diversity consultant, along with other community activists, filed a lawsuit to stop a school from being used to house illegal aliens. On the West Side, furious residents complained that day care, pre-school and senior activities were being canceled to make way for the invaders. And that’s been the case across much of an overrun city.

Chicago’s crisis is not so different from that of New York and other cities suffering under the horde that had been allowed to cross the border and penetrate the country, but it’s a particularly big problem for a place that will be used to showcase the accomplishments of Joe Biden.

And of the Democratic Party.

In 10 months, Democrat delegates from all over the country will converge on Chicago’s hotels, walk its streets, duck into its bars and patronize its prostitutes. But some of those hotels, like the Inn of Chicago on the Magnificent Mile (“a contemporary, modern destination hotel for leisure and business travelers”), are filled with migrants. Those migrants will eventually have to be booted to make way for the DNC delegates who won’t want to share their drugs with illegals.

The sight of migrants panhandling in the nicer areas in Chicago has become routine. Others have been arrested for quickly acclimating and joining the local criminal economy. A migrant was busted for threatening pedestrians with a knife, there are serial shoplifters roaming the city, and migrant drug use and violence is not uncommon.

“They disrespect us; they rob us; they harass us!” one woman complained.

The invasion has achieved the seemingly impossible of making Chiraq or Chifghanistan even more dangerous than it was before. And that’s a problem.

2024 might be the first time that Democrats end up with fewer delegates than they started with.

Biden’s decision to ram open the border and funnel the invaders into America might have long-term political advantages for the Democrats, but in the short-term it’s alienating even his base in New York, Chicago and other overrun cities. All of this will be on display in 2024.

Democrats are already worried that Republicans will disrupt the DNC convention by busing more illegal aliens to Chicago during August 2024. And no one has a plan to deal with that.

Mayor Brandon Johnson, an incompetent racist, has no plan except to blame it all on racism.

“There is a different standard that I’m held to. There is,” Johnson whined. “And that’s not something that I’m mad at, but that’s just the reality. I’m not the first person of color, particularly a black man, that will be held to a different standard than other administrations.”

Except that most of the people mad at Johnson are the black voters who put him in office.

Gov. Pritzker demanded to know why the mayor of El Paso, a Democrat, was sending migrants to Chicago and not to Idaho. 

“I think that the mayor of El Paso needs to listen to the cities that he’s sending folks to and to start thinking about whether or not this ought to be spread across the country. Why is he not sending anybody to Idaho, Wyoming?”

That might be because the population of both states combined just about equals Chicago. Illinois declared itself a sanctuary state and Chicago declared itself a sanctuary city. And busing migrants to Chicago is a much more workable plan than busing them to the middle of a field. Finally, none of the invaders want to go to Boise or Laramie, there’s better welfare in Chicago.

Nobody in Illinois or Chicago has a plan to deal with the problem. And, fresh off facing woke controversy for hiring the same company that Gov. DeSantis had been using to transport migrants to California to put up giant tents, Mayor Johnson headed to the border. Why?

Johnson claimed that he’s going to the border “to assess the full situation, and that also requires our team to be at the border.” The situation is that the border is open and the invasion is on.

To his credit, Mayor Johnson blamed the situation on the “failure of federal policies”, joining even more pointed criticism from Mayor Eric Adams of New York City. While the Biden administration has blasted Adams, it would be awkward for it to be warring with the host mayor of its convention. And yet that is exactly the politically dysfunctional trajectory that Biden is on.

Biden’s open border policies have created a feud with the mayors and governors of major Democrat strongholds whose support and allegiance should have been unquestioned. Now the DNC is preparing to hold its convention in a state and city that is turning hostile to Biden, and whose misery will showcase the consequences of the party’s immigration policies.

And after 10 months of 1,250 migrants arriving a day, Chicago could be drowning in a third of a million illegal alien invaders. And by then the only place to put them all will be the DNC.

Ron DeSantis and Biden’s ‘Sanctuary Country’ Orders

Editor's Note:  I just discovered this April 1, 2021 post while going back over my posts regarding Ron Desantis, Blogger actually preventing this post from appearing as it "violated their community standards".  Well, here it is and I will keep posting it until it appears.  RK

John Binder 1 Apr 2021

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is demanding President Joe Biden stop releasing criminal illegal aliens and directing state agencies to notify local law enforcement every time a criminal illegal alien is released in their community as a result of Biden’s “sanctuary country” orders.  During a press conference with Angel Families on Thursday, DeSantis announced directives to state agencies in an attempt to ensure that criminal illegal aliens are not released in Florida communities.

In February, top officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency announced sanctuary country orders that prevent agents from arresting and deporting about 9-in-10 illegal aliens who would otherwise be deported.  DeSantis called Biden’s orders a “reckless policy” and a “disregard for public safety and the rule of law” during the press conference and in a letter to the administration.

“These are convicted felons who are here illegally,” DeSantis said. “If you can’t remove them, then what do you have? Just a complete lawless system and a complete open border?”...........To Read More....

 

 

Biden’s New Move Makes All of America a Sanctuary State

Daniel Greenfield November 03, 2021 @ Sultan Knish Blog

Over 1.7 million illegal alien invaders were caught on the border in the last fiscal year and detentions hit their highest level since the 1986 illegal alien amnesty.

During the election, Biden warned that he couldn't shut down President Trump's immigration enforcement policies right away. “The last thing we need is to say we’re going to stop immediately … and then end up with 2 million people on our border.”

Biden stopped them anyway and we’re less than 300,000 illegal aliens away from 2 million.

And when illegals don’t succeed the first time, they keep trying. A quarter of the invaders captured in September were repeat offenders.

The approximately 147,000 "unaccompanied minors" who were intercepted are the largest number on record. And to reward human traffickers for their use of minors or alleged minors, the Biden administration is proposing to pay invaders who were separated from the minors they were trafficking a sum of $450,000 per minor. That could amount to millions per clan.

All this while Americans can’t afford to buy a home, put gas in their cars, or food on their plates.

There could be no better incentive for illegal aliens to join the mob of border invaders trafficking children as their passports than the promise of million dollar payouts from U.S. taxpayers.

But now the Biden administration is going further by turning America into a sanctuary state.

Sanctuary states and cities had previously tried to force ICE to stop making arrests. Now Biden is giving them what they wanted and making all the country into one giant sanctuary state in blue and red states, in places that want immigration enforcement and those that don’t.

Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden's Homeland Security boss, has issued guidelines for what he deemed to be "protected areas". Renaming “sanctuary” to “protected” does little to disguise what the Biden administration is doing to protect its illegal aliens from arrest and deportation.

The new DHS Guidelines for Enforcement Actions in or Near Protected Areas make it essentially impossible for ICE to do its job by barring arrests in these “protected areas”.

Protected or sanctuary areas are places where illegal aliens can’t be arrested and they include, but are not limited to, any kind of school or college, a medical or health center, any kind of religious area, playgrounds, school bus stops, community organizations, or a protest zone.

And arrests can’t be made in their general vicinity either.

This comes after Biden and Mayorkas had already barred ICE from detaining illegal alien criminals in the vicinity of courthouses making it easy for sanctuary cities to keep releasing them until they finally kill someone, and also barred raids on companies employing illegal aliens.

Mayorkas’ only working definition of Biden’s sanctuary zones is any place where people “receive or engage” in “essential services or activities”. That could be used to cover nearly anything.

Including possibly supermarkets and grocery stores.

Jon Feere, a former senior adviser for ICE, now working at the Center for Immigration Studies, notes how broad the list of protected sites is. "Near a vaccination site (any street with a Walgreens?)" That would potentially cover nearly every single pharmacy in America and the endless variety of other institutions that have been repurposed as COVID vaccination sites.

Not to mention, “any place where children gather”.

Law enforcement personnel are now expected to play a bizarre game of hopscotch and make sure that there isn’t a Safeway, a school bus stop, a church, a food pantry, a community center, a playground, an urgent care clinic, or anything else on a block where they detain an alien.

In a high-density urban environment this is calculated to make detaining illegals impossible.

Mayorkas refuses to provide a full list of sanctuary areas or the legal proximity where arrests can be made. “To the fullest extent possible, we should not take the enforcement action near the protected area. There is no bright-line definition of what constitutes ‘near’”, he writes.

Immigration enforcement is effectively being ruled out across entire neighborhoods and even cities. Since Mayorkas refuses to provide a definition of “near” and orders law enforcement to focus on “the fullest extent possible”, law enforcement personnel won’t know if they’ve violated Biden’s sanctuary nation guidelines until they’re accused of it and will be extra cautious.

All illegal alien advocates have to do is open a community center to block immigration enforcement in an area. And coyotes will use school buses to smuggle illegals over the border.

Beyond arrests, the Biden sanctuary guidelines also rule out, “searches, inspections, seizures, service of charging documents or subpoenas, interviews, and immigration enforcement surveillance”. That means ICE can’t even monitor illegal aliens in a sanctuary zone or serve papers for immigration violations even without any intention of arresting the illegal alien.

When states have tried to bar sex offenders from living anywhere near schools, bus stops, or any places where children play, lefty civil rights organizations, including the SPLC, argued that those restrictions were too onerous. Some civil rights groups brought maps showing that these regulations made it impossible for sex offenders to live almost anywhere in major cities.

Now Biden and Mayorkas have turned law enforcement into the sex offenders, barred from doing their jobs anywhere in order to protect the illegal aliens invading America.

The Biden administration has claimed that it doesn’t want open borders and that it’s not responsible for the massive surge of illegal aliens flooding the country, and yet it’s doing everything it can to make it impossible for law enforcement to enforce the law.

In 2007, Biden claimed that he opposed sanctuary cities.

He lied.

By the 2020 election, he was defending the idea of sanctuary cities, and arguing that illegal alien criminals shouldn't be turned over to immigration authorities.

Biden's spokesman claimed that the Trump administration's "crackdown on sanctuary cities" was "contrary to our values as a nation".

Once in office, Biden eliminated the Trump administration's effort to pressure sanctuary cities.

Now he’s using federal authority to impose sanctuary states and cities across America by once again manipulating enforcement priorities in much the same way that Obama created the illegal DACA amnesty and his own administration has declined to go after most domestic illegal aliens.

Democrats and their judges have created a state of tyrannical lawlessness on immigration. When Democrat administrations are in office, they insist that states don’t have the right to engage in immigration enforcement, but when Republican administrations are in office, they argue that states have the right to defy immigration enforcement. After four years of protecting sanctuary states as a valid use of state powers, they’re pivoting to federal sanctuary states.

The only consistent theme here is that any government, federal or state, has the right to protect illegal aliens from deportation, but has no right to detain and deport the mobs of illegal aliens.

Beyond the economic devastation wreaked by illegal aliens, Biden’s decision to protect illegal alien criminals from being detained at courthouses while drastically limiting the ability of ICE to conduct enforcement in America will only feed the escalating crime wave already underway.

Last week, a drunk illegal alien crushed a 5-year-old girl to death. And drove away.

She didn't have to die.

Neither did any of the other American children being killed by illegal aliens every year.

Biden’s transformation of American communities and neighborhoods into sanctuary zones for illegal aliens will cost lives. And the victims will often be poor minorities, not D.C. elites.

After opening the border and offering $450,000 payoffs to illegal alien invaders, putting them on midnight flights and secretly distributing them across the country, Biden is tying the hands of law enforcement to protect the massive numbers of illegal aliens from being detained and deported.

The invasion is real. And it’s coming from inside the White House.
