Chicago migrants: Growing costs of migrant care tied to projected $538 million budget deficit

- Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Wednesday that the city of Chicago is facing a projected $538 million budget deficit for 2024 - a financial burden his administration blamed in part on the growing cost of caring for migrants, NBC Chicago’s Bennett Haeberle reports.
Imagine having to pay more than $200,000,000 to put people up who just illegally walked across the border in luxury hotels
?? WHY IMAGINE ?? YOUR PRESIDENT IS A TRAITOR AND HIS POLICIES ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY.
Well they didn't just walk up because they're black Africans coming from over seas
Stop calling them that they are illegal immigrants, who broke the law by crossing illegally
At one time they were called “Illegal Aliens”. Liberals always want something bitter and nasty to swallow more smoothly when they force you to eat it.
At least the illegal immigrants from Mexico came here and fended for themselves. These people are expecting us to pay for everything for them. They are more like colonizers.
Crime, and fentanyl addiction will skyrocket.
You say truth. ILLEGAL MIGRANTS break the law just being in the UNITED STATES right in our faces. NO WONDER it's become a joke to be a law abiding citizen.
Clearly, you're racist.... LOL
What is the cost to deport them? These people are breaking the law.
Lot cheaper then the hotel rooms their staying in.
Just tell all the migrants that they cannot be cared for any longer and ship them back from where they came.
A one-way flight to the border is like $200 per person. 1,000 people ≈ $2,000,000
Of course, that’s for a commercial flight. There’s other methods of transportation.
@proallnighter your math is way off.
20 thousand to a nurse for one week and a one time payment of 700 for the people of Hawaii is despicable.
Beyond disgusting! But maybe Hawaii will stop voting for the Democrats who created this mess.
Well worth it. Many of them are willing to commit crimes that Chicagoans won't commit.
I guess you have to know the right Democrats..................
🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🛸🔥
The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude
Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Isaiah 14:1
“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 14:2
“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
2 Esdras 6:9
“For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.”
You could fly them all back for that amount
We are being displaced in plain sight
Someone is getting rich from this migrant crisis.
And Americans are getting screwed from this crisis!
Joe Biden is probably getting a cut too
you betcha!
It's human trafficking, in plain sight. Let's go Brandon.
Crime, theft, and fentanyl addiction will skyrocket.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!! NOT MIGRANTS!
Nah. Illegal immigrants at least try to hide and do work under the table. These folks get the red carpet treatment
They are not illegals, they gates were ordered held wide open by Biden, per the cartels orders.
Of course he's been given a good life FREE BED FREE MONEY FREE FOOD FREE MEDICAL. Wish Americans could get that FRE FREE FREE!
He will change his tune if you ask him to move out of the hotel and work like every one else!!!!!
A meal for a migrant is far more important than one for a citizen, now go vote Biden and get your vaccine..
You forgot the free iPhone.
This is the honeymoon period of the migrant crisis wait until it gets cold in NYC and Chicago .
Also according to a Washington politician alot of these people won't qualify for asylum what are the migrants who are refused asylum going to do.
What about when they start working the migrants and they have to find affordable housing in cities that are already very crowded.
Meanwhile new migrants are flooding across the border daily .This is going to leave a mess for the next president.
Communism
Corruption at its finest!
a nurse made twenty thousand dollars in one week that is almost one million in one year what a scam and the tax payers of Chicago are footing this bill corruption at its finest
Blatant corruption
SHAME on all those leaders in Chicago.
what leaders....leaders are much better and smarter than these clowns.
Honestly the problem is the followers. If there weren’t so many of those the dems could be voted out, but blue no matter who is in play
He has been given a good bed and a good life while we have American soldiers who fought for our country on the street !
Stopped complaining you voted for Joe Biden 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
exactly
I'm complaining and didn't vote for biden but just bc you vote democratic doesn't mean you asked for this just as just bc you vote republican and they support less gun laws doesn't mean you asked for mass shootings.
I am glad that the voters and taxpayers of Chicago are getting what they wanted. It’s so progressive!
Lotsa shady characters getting Rich offa this! Betcha you don't have money for snow removal this winter. Enjoy your diversity!
And no matter how bad crime gets, and no matter how much taxes rise to finance their agenda, the people still continue to vote the same way. Johnson blames Lightfoot... but nothing is going to change as the thought process is the exact same. My wife was born and raised there, but escaped that dump a long time ago for a far better environment.
Haven't seen anything yet ....wait till they start asking the immigrants to list their personal pronouns and genders ......the printing bill will be a billion at least .
@@daveds50 Admit it Dave, if the white man had won, you would not be saying chit. Just go on and admit it. Glad your wife is gone.
@@Imissyoulou, Quit being racist. I don't care if someone is purple with green polka dots. The policies that you vote for is why you get what you get. It's that simple. and yes, Chicago is a dump.
Chivago refuses to release the vendor lists. It is all a scam.
I've seen some refer to it as the "homeless industrial complex". In this case migrants. 20k of pay for a weeks work is insane, that's absolutely defrauding tax payers. They need to be investigated thoroughly and legislation needs to cap pay at market rates.
@@saramae9878that nurse needs to be arrested.
Crime, theft, and fentanyl addiction will skyrocket.
@@saramae9878It sounds more like Communism
@@kingkoi6542 It's literally capitalism you goofball. America is a capitalist country, probably the most capitalist ever. Corruption exists in both systems. Communism is when there is no nation, currency, or private property. Capitalism is when the ruling class owns the means of production. Both are equally capable of being corrupt.
Waaaah 😢😢😢 Democrats voted for it..
Those are tears of joy. Democrats love migrants. A meal for a migrant is far more important than one for a citizen or better, your kids..
A Nurse made 20k in a week for what??? Taking vital signs?
Biden's latest campaign ad is about helping Ukraine, not America.
and chiraq will vote for him again
Biden i& his admin, plus Pelosi, Schumer - all failed the US.
Great job Chicago! So glad you love your progressive lifestyle! Keep voting for change!
Like Obama said "Elections Have Consequences". Well Chicago, Here Are Your Consequences----Enjoy.
I hope that is sarcasm
😳😳😳😳😳😳
Oh man whoever is cooking those Chicago books is the real MVP 😂
we love immigrants open the borders let them come : lori lightfoot
Oh their coming
Governor Abbott: Please send more busses! Pay no attention to these hateful bigots who want to keep out these beautiful, peaceful migrants!!
I'd love to start a fund that would assist in sending more buses..
Than let them live in your basement stupid
No worries, you already know those are coming.
I second that motion 😅
I hope u joking
Being a sanctuary city is expensive, who knew?
Democrats shoot themselves in the foot and then complain about the pain!😂😂
I know right
Boy you got that right 👍
I take it you vote republican which must mean you also support gun rights?? So it would be fair to say then you have no business complaining about mass shootings because "well you vote republican" Why don't we send our criminals of gun crimes to all the republican states since they tend to support gun rights and want less laws surrounding guns, Chicago does get most of their guns used in crimes from those states so it's only fair to send our problems away ... by your standards.
@lisak9153 Criminals commit crimes where they know law enforcement is weak and procecutors slap them on the wrist like cashless bail. Everyone of those cities has a George Soros procecutor elected by democrats. If a criminal comes to a red state, he will feel the full force of prosecution. It's not the gun,it's the culture. It's a culture of homes without fathers, rap music that speaks of guns,crime, and abusing women. Defunding the police turned out to be a disaster.
Send them. The only difference is they'll be incarcerated for being a criminal instead of being released to harm more innocent people. Good luck @@GemGrl
never let a crisis go to waste….says every politician everywhere
They got you. You been Bernie Madoff’d. I mean we all are in a sense, but you actually voted for this! Some of you marched for it, called your own neighbors racist and xenophobic
You been Bernie Sandered!
Always marching instead of working .That's why we need immigrants to do the jobs ,black people won't do😂
@@Stephen-lx9nm Man, you don't have to single out black people like that - it really ain't like that. The problem is all the bleeding-heart white liberals who are too stupid to realize how things work in the real world. Even at the BLM marches, it wasn't mostly black people that were rallying, it was (yep) white liberals.
Most jobs, you would be fired if you lost more than 100 dollars. Johnson has now lost over 500 million.
YOU VOTED FOR THIS 🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵
Thank Harold Washington who made Chicago a sanctuary city.
Thank all the mayors since then who failed to reverse that policy.
Thank the voters of Chicago for making it happen.
Boo hoo cry baby 😭 😂😂😂
100 percent
How is that when he's been dead over 30 years ago
@@abdulkhalifa9679 Ol' Big Harold? He's the one that made Chicago a sanctuary city with the stroke of a pen.
What is "Santuary" about preventing Chicago Police from stopping Hispanics on the streets to prove that they are legally in America. Get your facts right before you claim Harold Washington made it a Santuary City.
Let ICE do there job and the problem goes away. What is wrong with the residents of Chicago? These people came into this country illegally.
Chicago voted for this so bring them in!
Try looking at the definition of a "sanctuary city", it might help you put this mess in perspective. Illegals are free from interference from law enforcement and ICE in sanctuary cities, that's why Texas is bussing them to sanctuary cities, because they agreed to it.
These migrants have to be heard in immigration court before ice can remove them
BLM would lose they're mind since it's mostly black Africans
All fingers point to joe biden and mayor johnson. Chicago got what they deserve.
" Never underestimate Joe's ability to fook things up"
Obama
Jobs at the shelters are paying more than 100.00 per hour! So glad I stopped paying taxes. I strongly encourage everyone else to do the same.
E bt
So I need to quit teaching and work at a shelter!
Wait they get paid how much? Shieeet I might get a job there and switch sides on how I feel about this crisis
Good job Chicago voters!!!!! You got what you wanted! More progressive policies that will destroy the city!!
Great news. I'm sure the people who voted for this will be happy to pay more taxes to make up the shortfall
They'll be honored to pay more taxes to protect these migrant heroes. Cut your kids food budget in half, they're overweight anyway!!! #WINNING #BRANDON2024
@@CeeTeeUSA Surely you are joking. What's heroic about illegal freeloaders taking tax dollars contributed by legal citizens for legal citizens?
I'd have to agree. 😮
@@elliedaniels2245 I'm afraid there more truth than humor.
This is only the beginning. NYC estimated $12 BILLION for housing, food, insurance, pocket money, etc. for asylum seekers in the city.
NBC Chicago please stay on top of this story. Great investigation. We want to know where that money is going and who's getting their hands on it. And how much!
You're right about that. This is the first I heard about it I was not even thinking about these type of scams
Sorry but your liberal news media will not report on any democratic catastrophies. Only trump , haven't you head the Whitehouse send letters to all the news media telling them to not report on the Biden investigation for his corruptions, that are now being looked into, go look yourself, your news won't tell you that
Mayor about to get rich!
@@SM-el7diThey always rob their own but whitey😂😂😂
The Democrats plan is to let them. Give them automatic citizenship. They will now have more Democrat voters.
And still no one is talking about securing the boarder? Why?
has to be votes
Not unil joe has enough soldiers.
@@FlyWithMe_666 Those boarders are very secure...in their lavish, taxpayer-funded quarters, turning their noses up at food Chicagoans paid for, but cannot themselves enjoy, while using their free phone to call everybody they know back home & telling them how they can get a piece of the American Pie.
Should be obvious if you have a brain, did you not see how much money certain people are pocketing? I wonder what joes cut is in this?
Crime, theft, and fentanyl addiction will skyrocket.
$20,000 in a week. Wow! And they say the economy is hurting....😂😂😂
Be very careful what you ask for.....
Man, the Chicago mayor is a BUNDLE of confidence........
Competent too.
Chicago wasn't that crooked since capone ran the place. And for the most part, al kept the peace.
You know nothing about Big Al.
I love Adams explanation of "I didn't think I would ever have to practice what I preach?"
Exactly, as the old political bumpers used to say " no human is illegal kindness is everything ", unless of course it's in my backyard and not 2,000 miles away where it's someone else's problem
Just imagine what this wasted money could have done for low income communities in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit, & all across America 😮
all i got from this was a certain demographic should not be in public office?
It would be so much cheaper just to send them back home .
Send more! Send the whole country. Between NY and Chicago they will be cared for.
well said
It's great to see that some cities get exactly what they voted for!! Congratulations Chicago!!!!!!
exactly
You think your vote matters huh? It’s amazing how blind Americans are. The funniest part is the yt Americans who are now the minority don’t think this is going to effect them. They’re letting in cheap labor, best believe you’ll be effected
Send them back, Close the Borders and Defund DHS and impeach Mayorkas and the biden administration
Too many think it's hip & cool to vote what CNN says - wo/thinking or knowing policies! Ppl need to wake up to lies!
The nurse is making $135 AN HOUR?.. $50 go to the nurse and the rest is con-tractor company.
Yep
tell those wonderful people a cardboard box is actually to good for them and there are plenty of dumpsters for them to sleep in.
ALWAYS follow the money trail. You'll then see why things happen the way they do.
Hope they spend that type of money for citizens
He's been giving a good bed and a good life! What about the thousands of Chicago homeless that sleep on the streets and under the bridge what kind of good bed and good life have they been given?
1:45 The workers for the staffing agency are not making thousands of dollars per day. The staffing agency sees a sucker in the city of Chicago and is certainly charging several times what they pay the employee.
I was watching an african news network a couple of days ago. People are booking charter aircraft from West Africa 🌍 to South/Central America to walk to the US border...
(madness 🙄)
All those Benjamin's trickling down someone's pocket🤔
I promise and guarantee venders are charging the city far more for venders goods and services are worth. A nurse making $20,000 in one week if ‘theft of services’ fore example, a special counsel should investigate how fundings are spent.
Yup this is nuts
I realize that nurses make good money and I don't deny them that. But $20,000 for one weeks work is beyond excessive. Wonder who approved this. Obviously a no bid contract. The staffing service must be a friend of the mayor's or a political donor. I hired contractors at a university to do maintenance work. Any expenditure over ten thousand required three bids.
Trust me,with certain people in charge, you can bet there is some shady dealings going on. Never fails
@@nancymalczewski5841 The entire system is corrupt from top to bottom.
@@bka8851 it’s said that the migration of so many immigrants is bad, but rest assured, it’s created a major ‘profit scenario’ for somebody.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR ANYONE TO MAKE IN A WEEK. AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR MO MONEY !
Financial and emotional blackmail. Give us more money for the problem we created or we will have to cut services to American citizens.
Arizona just got another 20,000 coming today. Y'all best make some more room.
They’re YOUR REPLACEMENTS, GET READY TO “fight for the soul of a nation” y’all 81 million voted for😳😂
Just what they wanted. Exactly what they voted for. Now they got it.
A good mayor would have found a way to utilize Chicago residents to fill some of the jobs needed to support the interloper's instead of allowing a staffing agency charging outrages wages. Just saying for my friend Donald.
I don’t think the people of Chicago realized what they were voting for. There’s no way you can tell me that people knowingly voted for a mess like this. No way.
😊 Apparently not look at just recent history, Chicagoins are wacked......keep doing the same thing, yeah......,
Democrats vote how told
brandon was honest about what he wanted to do.
Ahhhh yes, the ignorance run far n wide with the Democrats, just look at the way this country is now from 3 so short yrs ago, complete morons and the worst part is, they can't understand even when the turds are laying on in their front door step, wow. Unbelievable
How is a nurse earning $20K in one week working at a shelter? How has Chicago spent $200 mil on 13,000 migrants in a year? This looks like money laundering. Glad I live in a non sanctuary state.
perfect setting for the DNC Convention next year
That's wonderful. I hope ppl will remember who opened the flood gates.
Ah... the good ol "let's help illegal immigrants over American citizens" play.
Sleep soundly in that bed you made.
Expect those property taxes to skyrocket to Saturn Chicago. I’ll pray for you homeowners frfr
Money from us, for us, to make OUR neighborhoods safe is being used for the exact opposite. Thank democrats for the worsening crisis instead of solving our original problems.
Corruption is great ,They make budget cuts while asking for more money, and spend it on nonsense and refuse to tell where the money has gone
Yes, let's just keep giving them more money. We'll just print it up and screw over taxpayers. It shouldn't be a problem. Taxpayers are used to it and enjoy getting screwed.
"... the challenges that I inherited...." ?
Half of the money will go for corruption and padded costs for vendors/police.
A foreign invasion. Or are you a denier. An invasion-denier is far worse than a climate-denier...
😂😂😂 thousands more coming 😂😂😂sanctuary city
Take care of the homeless people that are born in United States of America
what a HORRIBLE WASTE of taxpayer money
Imagine what Texas is facing from 1000 times more illegals that first arrived in that state. I'm pleased that Chicago is learning the costs related to sanctuary policies.
I am so happy for their new mayor
Dems, you wanted illegals, now Brandon has given them to you in spades. You get what you vote for.
“We COME to America….to FREELOAD!!!!”
Look at the disgraceful mess they are making, then begging for money.
Oh, Brandon…your focus leaves us without any explanations…and even though you clearly know what you “inherited” you certainly have made NO real help on any REAL issues this city faces. All you have done is give the criminals a bigger pool of targets…God Help Chicago!
what did he inherit.
@@franciskirby85 ask him. He has that speech down pat. Every time he is interviewed, he spews it..and I do mean spews, like a sewer!
I know from personal experience that words can be difficult but isn’t Johnson a school teacher?
Put a broom and shovel in their hands and have them clean up this disgustingly filthy city.
That would be illegal to put them to work, but this other crap is not. Crazy how that works, but the least these freeloaders could do is volunteer to clean the streets.
Thats crazy how they are abusing hard working tax payers money !
I am 71 , fifth Gen Texan , we Texans have been bearing the cost all my life . Nice to see you get your turn in the barrel Chicago ! Life can make you smile at times .
I'm confused why we have to house these people.
Because Biden reversed the 'Stay in Mexico' policy when he came into office and has allowed anyone who claims asylum, whether true or not, to come into the country and wait for their asylum hearings which can take years to be heard in immigration court. Biden also instituted the 'Humanitarian Parole' program which allows another 30,000 per month from Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba to stay here for two years, while immigration courts (totally backlogged) check to see if they can stay. Another issue is if these people disappear into sanctuary cities (that don't allow law enforcement or ICE to get involved) and stay whether the courts deem them legal or not. Americans have no rights or say so, but we have to support the illegals.
Communism
To keep them here so that they can vote Democrat down the road.
@@lenarae3845 Many use fake names or change them, not vetted, bring in disease, crime. A slap in the face to US citizens.
