An angry black woman wearing a ‘MAGA’ hat laced into the Democratic majority on the Chicago City Council over a new plan that would spend tens of millions of city taxpayer dollars on illegal migrants.

The plan calls for $70 million to be spent on various support programs like housing for migrants, but it drew several angry responses from residents during a council meeting on Wednesday, according to video posted online.

The woman, known as “P-Rae” Easley, vehemently blasted the plan.

“I’m asking y’all to use our tax money for our people. We need it,” Easley, who wore a red MAGA hat, said.

Easley later told Fox News that the mayor’s diverting of funds to immigrants is “the most disrespectful thing we’ve ever encountered in our lives.”

“We’ve been paying property taxes in the city for generations, and to see them so openly give our money to people who don’t deserve it is very insulting,” she said.

“I want to thank our mayor for uniting the city in a way that we haven’t seen since the ’96 Bulls, and that’s against him and this progressive agenda,” she added later, a reference to the NBA team’s dynasty under Michael Jordan.

Meanwhile, Fox News noted that a petition that would give residents the right to recall the mayor is gathering traction.

The progressive mayor, known for staunchly defending the city’s sanctuary policies, is seeking approval from aldermen to allocate additional funds, despite the Windy City already having invested $300 million in housing, food, and healthcare for migrants, as per the city’s latest figures.

“They’re showing up here in New York and Chicago attacking people in the streets,” another resident said on Wednesday. “The police are fighting with them in the… shelters that you guys are funding.”

Easley criticized city leaders for considering the allocation, especially noting the city’s ongoing struggle to adequately fund essential resources like education.

“It’s extremely insulting,” she said. “They’ve been telling us my entire life that they don’t have money for this. They don’t have money for that. We have to compromise. We must go without, but now we’re seeing that they are able to print money out of the clear blue sky, and we want to know why wasn’t our tax money given to us?”

Easley suggested to Fox News that due to the city’s unified opposition to Johnson’s progressive agenda, Chicago voters may turn out in large numbers in November to advocate for political change at the national level.

“We are looking forward to bringing back Donald John Trump Sr. as our 47th president,” Easley said. “He’s the only president who has a plan to close the southern border, which is going to cut off the pipeline of human and drug trafficking that’s flooding the West side of Chicago, and we cannot wait to get you back in office. Mr. President, please come see us in Chicago.”

Illegal immigration has skyrocketed to the top of the list of voter concerns in 2024, according to a series of recent polls.

When Trump launched his first presidential campaign in 2015, he was adamant about curbing illegal immigration and made that a cornerstone of his ultimately successful campaign. He noted in 2020 that he fulfilled his promise by pointing out that, under his policies, illegal immigration had fallen to record lows.

But after Trump lost, President Joe Biden, on his first day in office, reversed nearly all of Trump’s highly effective immigration and border security policies, which Republicans — and a growing number of Democrats — say were responsible for creating the current chaotic situation along the southwest border, and why the issue of illegal immigration has skyrocketed to the top of the list of concerns of a majority of Americans this election cycle after nearly 8 million people have entered the U.S. over the past three years.

“Significantly more Americans name immigration as the most important problem facing the U.S. (28%) than did a month ago (20%). Immigration has now passed the government as the most often cited problem, after the two issues tied for the top position the past two months. The government ranked first each month from January through November 2023,” the Gallup polling firm noted in a report published in February.
