Even the Democrat populace in cities reject plans to support illegal aliens if it costs them.

many Chicago residents, aldermen, and business groups are unhappy or concerned about Mayor Brandon Johnson’s roughly $600 million+ tax proposal (which has included things like the corporate “head tax” and other tax increases) — and some of the ways people argue it could negatively affect them: ( this tax plan was aimed in large part towards supporting "migrants" - but when the rubber meets the road, who's willing to pay the bill? )

This new appeal of leftists to embrace illegal immigration may not have the support that they think it does even in a Democratic stronghold city, such as Chicago, where this spending plan certainly failed....

Why This Matters to Everyday People

Higher taxes can affect disposable income — less money for families.

Business costs may rise — which critics argue can slow hiring or investment.

Property taxes and other fees already feel burdensome for many.

Political frustration — many residents feel their voices aren’t reflected in the plan.

What’s Happening Politically

Because of these concerns, the City Council Finance Committee rejected the tax package — signaling broad opposition inside City Hall as well as among residents and business groups.
