- CHICAGO (CBS) -- The City Council on Wednesday is expected to vote on Mayor Brandon Johnson's request for another $70 million in funding to provide shelter and other services to thousands of asylum seekers in Chicago.
The City Council Budget Committee approved the funding request on Monday on a 20-8 vote, setting it up for final approval on Wednesday. The funds would come from the city's 2022 budget surplus.
The city already has budgeted $150 million to care for migrants this year, but the mayor's office has acknowledged that won't be enough for the entire year.
The request for $70 million more is part of the original spending plan Gov. JB Pritzker's office said was discussed back in February when the governor and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced they would invest a combined $250 million to help fund the migrant mission, which they said, along with the Johnson administration, anticipated would cost $321 million for shelter and services this calendar year.
Johnson was asked about reports that he had committed an additional $70 million to complete that $321 million estimated cost, but he denied it at the time.

@ekdkzkxkx
What people?
@@ThorIsBoss illegals
I have an advanced degree in gender studies, and I can tell you most of these migrants are nonbinary.
How about take care of own people first , give them a ride back home that's what they should be voting on.
HOW CAN SO MANY PEOPLE OF CHICAGO vote against the " Migrant Craze" yet the PEOPLE LOSE?
EXPECT THE SAME IN NOVEMBER it's gonna be ANOTHER 1 WAY IMPOSSIBLE ELECTION TOWARDS 1 WAY who is in power AND IN AN HONEST ELECTION WOULD be a Landslide change of Power...
ILLEGAL migrants in America is ONLY ABOUT 1 THING = VOTES and it no longer matters about who can and can't vote......ITS ABOUT POPULATION AND THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM...
DEMS WILL STAY IN POWER BECAUSE of the illegal migrants electoral system....
GOD WILLING a slightly "Fair and true" election miracle could happen and if THERE IS A CHANGE IN POWER it will for surely be GODS MIRACLE OF 2024
Because this is about The children of God and the right thing to do.
Politicians we know only care about 1 thing and it's money, wich will be stolen from the people and NOT EQUALLY DIVIDED EVER.
That mayor dont give a dang about what yall have to say, or how yall feel he is literally SHOWING yall that!This is absolutely not a democracy it's a dictatorship!
yeah, we'll have chicago vote on italy.
i'll get right on it.
OMG...Enough is ENOUGH Already!!! if u keep feeding a stray, they'll keep wanting more...
TRUMP2024
The delay is a smokescreen tactic and nothing else. The proposal will pass!
i'd prefer it if calgary votes on italy, but if you want chicago...
Wouldn't be cheaper to buy them one way tickets to maybe CANADA
Recall the Mayor
$70,000,000.00 Enough to Send them home
What the mayor should do with that funding is give half to the immigrants and half to OUR HOMELESS CITIZENS ! why is it that the people in office don't realize that... because, it's not in their interests, too. But, in all fairness, I blame all this mess on Biden... and for that, come November me and my 14:06 family are voting for Trump !
End of Democracy

Excellent presentation. The guy before you is the type of person that is the problem. If there are more people like that fool than you,, then you better think about moving. If everyone of the aldermen are not voted out then Chicago is lost forever. People that think right, like you, need to get together with the black people there that were complaining and work together. That’s the only chance.
And this is why i moved from chicago. You hit the nail on the head.
I have an advanced degree in gender studies, and I can tell you most of these migrants are nonbinary.
I JUST HOPE ALL MY FELLOW CHICAGOANS LIKE THESE PPL VOTE REPUBLICAN LIKE ME!!! AS A FORMER DEMOCRAT TURNED REPUBLICAN I VOTED REPUBLICAN IN THE PRIMARY 19MAR24 & I WILL BE VOTING REPUBLICAN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION NOV2024!!! #TRUMP2024 #TRUMPORDIE ALSO I HOPE YOU GUYS DONT VOTE FOR THE SAME ALDERMEN, MAYOR, GOVERNOR, JUDGES, SENATORS, & CONGRESSMEN LIKE WE HAD BECAUSE THOSE POLITICIANS WE VOTED FOR ARE NOT HELPING US EITHER BUT ARE HELPING ILLEGALS OVER & OVER!! ILLEGALS ALREADY RECEIVED OVER 500MILLION IN ASSISTANCE & IN APRIL 2024 CHICAGO JUST APPROVED ANOTHER 70MILLION FOR ILLEGALS!!! WAKE UP CHICAGO WAKE UP🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!!
Black On!
The pendulum swinging is going to bring on the police state.
