A Chicago Democrat is calling for the city's sanctuary status to be removed as the migrant crisis continues to squeeze community resources.
Government employee Cata Truss told "Fox News @ Night" Democrat voters like her are growing increasingly frustrated with the party's handling of the issue.
"There is no moneys to take care of the migrants, nor is there moneys to take care of the people that are there. And so we have a mess on our hands," Truss said Wednesday.
Truss argued Windy City residents are upset over low income communities and schools being "divested in" while funds are used for the care of migrants instead.
"This is the sentiment from the city of Chicago: We would like to have our status as a sanctuary city removed," she said. "We would also like to see a better plan in place."
Truss said she tried to reach out to Democratic elected officials in the city to sit down with her and other members of the community to discuss the situation, but "no one was willing" to talk.
"If you are all not willing to sit down with us, if you're not willing to talk to us, why should we continue to support you?" she said. "A lot of us [Democrats] are jumping ship."
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defended his handling of the crisis, Wednesday.
"I know folks may question my style, but don't question my leadership," the Democrat said.

Let them feel the full effect of the stupidity they voted for.
I live in The Peoples Republic of Maryland. And while we’re not a sanctuary state, I fully agree with you that it’s time Maryland, DC, and northern Virginia feel the full stupidity of their vote, even though it’s gonna make my life harder.
And, yes...fake German accent like” Der Fuhrer’s Face”. :-)
Jim Jones was a great leader.
It doesn’t mean your intentions are great.

GREAT CHICAGO EDUCATION
No. Keep piling it on, they voted for it.
Unfortunately, Chicago city elections won’t be held until 2027. The new communist mayor was elected and took office in early 2023. But we can hope there might be some republicans elected this fall, if there are any willing to run in the Chicago area.
Reality of a foreign invasion happening right now is a more pressing issue than Biden claiming the GOP is going for a federal ban on abortion, which is completely false but all they have to run on this year.
Good luck with that. The last Republican mayor in the city of Chicago, Big Bill Thompson, ended his term in 1931. Yep, 93 years ago. And he was corrupt as hell, a friend of Al Capone and other assorted criminals. Chicago, regardless of party, was, is and will remain a cesspool of corruption.
Abbott needs to start the call for mass deportation. Echo what Trump is saying. There is enough anger on both sides of this issue across the country.
Mass deportation NOW
I know that “Chicago = cesspool of corruption” all to well. Having lived within 100 miles of the city for many years of my life.
You can throw Cook County officials into that mix of fecal matter, too. An atomic brew of corruption when combined. Those two entities alone ruin the state, decade in and decade out, forever.
Moneys?
This is how a government employee talks?

Meet the black Chicago Democrats suing mayor for housing migrants
©CBS 2
Two lawsuits by black Chicago residents have forced the city to abandon plans to use community buildings as migrant shelters. Chicago is struggling to care for more than 35,000 asylum-seekers bussed in from the border by Texas Governor Greg Abbott over the past 18 months. Shelters in converted warehouses are filled to the brim with new arrivals living in poor conditions, leading to the city commandeering other venues.

Didn’t they already “talk” us into this mess?
Some mornings I wake up grumpy and sleepy.
Other mornings I let her sleep in.

‘o course, that wasn’t Beethoven.
Everyone knows it’s meese - just like goose.
