Illinois suburb scraps migrant housing 'sign-up' sheet after councilman’s viral proposal to residents
Fox News via MSN ^ | 1/28/24 | Stephen Sorace

An Illinois suburb decided against moving forward with a plan to have residents house migrants in their homes following a councilman’s viral proposal to put together a "sign-up" sheet.

Naperville, an affluent suburb located roughly 30 miles west of Chicago, had considered having residents volunteer to bring migrants into their homes amid concerns that Chicago’s struggles to house migrants may spill over into the suburbs.

On Thursday, city staff decided it was not necessary for Naperville residents to sign up as other state and federal agencies were making lists of shelters for migrants in need of housing, WLS-TV reported. Josh McBroom, a city council member, made headlines during a Jan. 16 council meeting discussion about what his city should do if a wave of illegal immigrants arrived in their neighborhood as they have in other neighboring towns. McBroom suggested a sign-up sheet for those willing to open their homes to migrants.

On Tuesday, video of McBroom's comments blew up on social media.

In an interview last week with Fox News Digital, McBroom said he was compelled to bring up the subject he believed was being avoided by his council colleagues, explaining that his proposal was aimed at residents whose votes led to the "open border policy" of the Biden years.

“residents volunteer to bring migrants into their homes “

What do they think this is a foreign exchange program?! The large majority are military age males having been traffic’d illegally across the US border. They’re going to sign up for this and it will make the news. A violent incident where an entire family was murdered in their beds. Nobody knows why but probably because the homeowner complained that the houseguest used to many keurig pods.

Just wait.

There will no longer be an option to sign up to take migrants into your home.

Soon it will be mandatory, just like in the movie, Dr. Zhivago.

"It's more just."

Josh McBroom is a Trump republican and did this tongue in cheek to embarass the “hate has no home” democrat filth in Naperville. Town is in DuPage County due west of Cook County. Naperville very lib now...used to be normal.

Sounds exactly like Martha’s Vineyard. No doubt These wealthy tool bags have “This home has no hate” and “Love is love” BS signs in their yards too.

++++++++++

I didn’t know Naperville still had intelligent folks like Josh McBroom. I am one town over living in the midst of this virtue signaling hell. This council meeting happened on 16JAN and 13 days later is the first I hear of this proposal by Mr. McBroom. Hypocrites want this whole issue to go away in the strongest possible way. Exactly like marthas vineyard.

They should have had two sign-up sheets:

Josh was interviewed on Fox a couple of days ago..Sandra Smith..and explained the whole Naperville cluster Biden. They are also huge anti-gun pricks there too, naturally, including McBroom.

I can’t figure out if this Councilman was trolling or not.

We are a couple towns north of Naperville in DuPage County. I had a feeling this guy was trolling the Libs in Naperville.

Good on him.

It’s a great way to get Naperville liberals to pull up all their Virtue Signaling yard signs in a panic.
