Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson has allocated $18 million to “black and brown” businesses to provide food for the illegal border crossers the city is housing.
The mayor praised the businesses as the “soul” of Chicago and criticized the media for questioning his plans for the border crisis.
“The $17 million investment for these 18 black and brown small businesses, is really the, um… it really captures what I call the soul of Chicago. It’s who we are,” Johnson said
“I actually think it’s quite fitting that we are in this wonderful small business because it has been black and brown small businesses that have stepped up in this moment, in this crisis, to respond to these families who are arriving here,” he added.
“You know, you all are asking me as if I am not a parent in this city,” he said. “I get it, I’m mayor, I get it.”
“I have a wife, I have children, they have schedules,” he added. “And plus, we still have public safety we have to address, we still have the unhoused that we have to address. I still have a budget that I have to address, and I’m doing all of that with a black wife raising three black children on the west side of the city of Chicago.”
Johnson has faced backlash for diverting billions of dollars to provide free services to illegal immigrants while denying similar benefits to the city’s black population.
