There is a growing sense of frustration in a lot of communities over illegal immigration. After four years of wide-open borders, after four years of handing out generous benefits to people who entered the country illegally and remain here illegally, plenty of people have had enough. That was, almost certainly, a big part of President Trump's historic 2024 reelection. 

In Chicago, those same people, who have had their fill of this issue, are speaking out. They've had it with sanctimonious politicians declaring their communities to be "sanctuaries" to illegal aliens, and they are supporting the Trump administration's crackdowns:

As tensions rise between the federal government and Chicago leadership over the deportation of criminal migrants, some city residents are voicing support for stricter immigration enforcement, aligning themselves with policies championed by President Donald Trump.

Vashon Tuncle, a Chicago resident, expressed his frustrations on "The Ingraham Angle," stating that many in his community feel abandoned by local and state officials.

"The people of Chicago, we love Trump," Tuncle said. "The numbers spoke for themselves during the election … we actually wanted Trump to come here."

That's a pretty remarkable statement. Chicago has been a Democrat stronghold since the Daley Machine, and for the most part, remains so. But the times, they are a-changing, and the hyper-liberal Mayor Brandon Johnson's inept rule is drawing a lot of criticism:

Tuncle claims he represents a growing group of Chicagoans who feel disenfranchised by leaders like Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. While both politicians oppose federal deportation efforts on human rights grounds, Tuncle argues they are neglecting their duty to protect the city's residents.

"Brandon Johnson has sworn an oath to the people of Chicago that he must protect them. J.B. Pritzker has sworn an oath to the people of Illinois that he will protect us," he said. "They failed to do that because they’re continuously telling us that they will protect the illegal immigrants here, knowing that they’re bringing all the drugs and crime here in our city."

The Trump administration is cracking down, not only on illegal aliens but also on the "sanctuary" jurisdictions that protect them.

Some of the city's elected representatives are also pushing back at Mayor Johnson:

However, not all city officials agree with Johnson’s approach. Alderman Ray Lopez criticized the mayor, accusing him of catering to "hyper-liberal White progressives" while ignoring concerns from Black, Latino, and undocumented communities.

Here's where Alderman Lopez doesn't get it, though: There are no "undocumented communities." There are people who are citizens, people who are in the country legally for one reason or another, and there are illegal aliens. His prevarication on that note is not helpful.

The Trump administration, in these first weeks of the repatriation efforts, is doing the right thing by focusing on criminals and gang members, who are either facing charges here or who are being sent back to where they belong - repatriated, not deported. Some of the worst are being sent to Guantanamo Bay, and that is likewise appropriate; they can't be left where they are. But there is a larger issue: Our borders have to be secured, and people in the country illegally need to be repatriated. All of them. We are either a nation of laws or we are not, and while the previous administration seemed satisfied to ignore immigration law, Pres. Trump is not.

People in Chicago are figuring that out. And that could be an electoral game-changer.
