The pair are following up on a sequence of FOIA requests that Newsome has made during the last 2 years relating to the totally different migrant amenities scattered throughout the town of Chicago. Within the clip they head to a Vacation Inn close to Halfway Airport on the southwest aspect of Chicago. Newsome walks alongside a stretch of street the place he narrates the historical past of the neighborhood.

Chicago, with its sanctuary metropolis standing, has been one of many important locations for illegals who’ve crossed the border searching for refuge as many are unprepared for a life overseas. The promise of care and financing is obtainable on the expense of NGOs similar to Catholic Charities and the Obama Basis affiliated New Life Facilities as beforehand reported by Gateway Pundit. Whereas the homeless freeze within the punishing Chicago winters, unlawful immigrants are burdened by no such destiny. They’re assigned case employees by Catholic Charities and the Obama Basis affiliate New Life Facilities. Illegals take pleasure in free groceries, authorities funded smartphones, shelter, meals, and clothes. They’re even positioned in residences with their utilities lined in full.
The logistics of such an enterprise is so huge {that a} collaborative effort between a number of NGOs, Metropolis of Chicago, Utility Corporations, and the State of Illinois is required. The price is so exorbitant that it’s no shock the State of Illinois raised taxes by $1B in 2024 with a lionshare of that income being earmarked for the care of the brand new class of citizen being bought. In keeping with Illinois Coverage, as of March of 2024 the Metropolis of Chicago had spent roughly $300M on the migrant disaster since 2022.

Curiously the video with Bergquam and Newsome is highlighting a model new Vacation Inn facility not open to the general public however designated for unlawful immigrants. There is no such thing as a indication or reporting that an unsustainable inflow of recent arrivals would facilitate the necessity for a brand new facility. These amenities have been non permanent holding zones whereas NGOs work behind the scenes to place illegals in residences throughout the town. What’s notable is that this Vacation Inn is outdoors the town correct. An apparent query involves thoughts. Are these unlawful immigrants being moved to different areas except for designated metropolis amenities? Does which have something to do with the arrival of the DNC in late August?
One other notably attention-grabbing statement to notice within the Bergquam and Newsome video is the presence of the beforehand talked about Obama Basis affiliate – New Life Facilities – parking cross current within the parking zone. It might seem that their efforts are facilitating the involvement of this Vacation Inn for unlawful immigrant non permanent housing. Be aware the parking cross within the display seize under.
Terry Newsome and Behind Enemy Traces are persevering with their effort to uncover the reality concerning the unlawful immigration disaster in Chicago. There are certain to be extra alarming revelations main as much as a chaotic and dystopian Democrat Nationwide Conference coming to the town in late August 2024.
