What about hungry legal Americans in Chicago?
Here’s how it works. The “Chicago non-profit” provides the “winter food” and the Venezuelan “new arrivals” eat it. It’s really quite simple.
You mean they are expecting these illegal freeloading aliens to work?
I demand wagyu beef!

Hey Media? Follow this Money
So a reader did a bit of research....something usually done by “investigative” reporters....which are in short supply nowadays. Who owns the properties currently being used to house thousands of illegals and who are being paid with taxpayer funds totaling many millions of dollars? Here are three “shelters:”
344 N Ogden is 106,400 sqf- annual leasing price is $6,360,000
1308 N Elston is 84,120 sqft- annual leasing price is $5,047,200
2341 S Halsted is 86,000 sqft- annual lease is $5,160,000
Just for reference, industrial space in Chicago averages around $10 per square foot. One of the nicer office buildings in Chicago (Chicago River Point) goes for $53 per square foot. These buildings - all zoned industrial and all that sat empty the past five-to-seven years - are being leased to the city for $60 per square foot. Oh, and the Elston address may have recently in arrears for nearly $200K in property taxes.
And who owns these buildings? Some guy named Scott Goodman or a series of LLC’s run by or in conjunction with Goodman. Where it gets interesting is when you go to OpenSecrets.org and run Goodman’s name through the donor lists. Quite the “progressive” agenda being funded by this single individual whose companies are getting millions in taxpayer funds.
Legal? Probably....after all, lawyers write these grants / bills / laws and lobby for passage through the legislative process.
Ethical? Who are we to judge?
Hinkey as Hell and worthy of a deep dive by investigative reporters, who are supposed to be keeping a spotlight on taxpayer funds and a closer eye on the politicians spending that money? Yep.
But don’t hold your breath.
Labels: media, money questions
No doubt Maduro is sending these people to further destabilize the country.
The democrats say the Illegals come for a better life but it’s to live off the taxpayer for the rest of their time in the US or their lives
I wished they offered this scam when my ancestors came here back in 1850.
How dare they hire illegal aliens!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicago opens feed a parasite program what could go wrong.
Wouldn’t expect a mugger murder or a rapist go around hungry.
