The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

'CHICAGO - There was a heated response Wednesday night from a South Side community where hundreds of migrants are about to be moved.

'I don't want them there!' Hyde Park residents
heated over migrants moving to Lake Shore Hotel

A community meeting was held at The Promontory on Wednesday to discuss the new temporary housing, and there were lots of fireworks.

Migrants are expected to move into the hotel for six months, where 300 asylum seekers can be housed. However, the city says it is a fluid situation, and it will need to revisit the timeline.

"I don't want them there! Take them someplace else or send them back to Venezuela I don't care where they go," said resident Doris Lewis. "This is wrong. You got 73 percent of the people that are homeless in the city are Black people, what have you done for them?"

The alderman Desmon Yancy of the 5th Ward says he just found out about the move last week.'

A poster comment 'What do you mean 'you don't want them'? You invited them. You set out a free buffet. They arrived. YOU VOTED for this. Repeatedly. Like your new mayor. This is who you are now.'

I second that, libs voted for dems and this is what you get. Top lib honcho Biden opened the borders and couldn't care less about the plight of American citizens.
