Chicago mayor plays race-based favorites, funnels $17M to 'black and brown businesses' to feed illegal immigrants

The mayor of Chicago has defended infusing "predominately Black and Latino owned" businesses with millions of dollars to help feed illegal immigrants who have recently arrived there. He claims the race-based move represents "the soul" of the city. Last week, Mayor Brandon Johnson issued a press release touting a new partnership between his office and "black and brown businesses" to help provide food for 10,000 or so "asylum-seeking new arrivals" — illegal immigrants who have been sent to the city from the southern border. For the past eight months, the mayor has worked with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the state of Illinois to scrape together $17.6 million for the project. "The $17 million investment for these 18 black and brown small businesses really captures what I call the soul of Chicago," Johnson said at a press conference to announce the partnership. "It's who we are." -- https://www.theblaze.com/news/chicago-mayor-plays-race-based-favorites-funnels-17m-to-black-and-brown-businesses-to-feed-illegal-immigrants?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fb-comment_jason-whitlock&tpcc=social_fb-comment
