Democrats across the nation continue to make the lives of their constituents worse. But now, people are pushing back.
And a Democrat representative has been betrayed by his own supporters because of horrific liberal policies.
Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), son of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, recently found himself at the center of a heated town hall meeting, where black residents from his district delivered a stark message: enough is enough. The frustration and anger from the community came to a boiling point as constituents blasted Jackson for his support of the tens of thousands of illegal migrants flooding into Chicago.
The once-reliable Democratic voters are now questioning the direction of their leadership as their neighborhoods are overrun with migrants and resources meant for American citizens are siphoned off to care for those who entered the country illegally.
The town hall was intended to be a routine meeting, but the issue of illegal immigration dominated the conversation, with one resident’s fiery response encapsulating the discontent that many in the room clearly shared. When Jackson asked the audience member what solution he would propose, the man didn’t hesitate: “Send them back, that’s the only solution,” he said, prompting thunderous applause from the crowd.
The straightforward answer resonated deeply with attendees who are tired of seeing their neighborhoods overwhelmed and underfunded while taxpayer dollars are used to accommodate illegal immigrants.
The conversation didn’t end there. The resident passionately continued his remarks, stating, “They will overtake us in numbers at the rate that they have kids. They cannot be U.S. citizens. You are dooming our next generation to sub-servitude.” This hard-hitting statement struck a chord with the crowd, who understood the basic math of the situation.
More illegal migrants mean more strain on public services, more overcrowded schools, and a larger voting bloc in future generations that will further push African Americans to the margins of political influence.
For decades, black Americans have been the backbone of the Democratic Party, but now, they feel as if they are being displaced in their own communities by new groups who are given preferential treatment. It’s not just about sheer numbers—it’s about what those numbers mean for the future.
As the resident pointed out, “All we have to do now is look at the Hispanic voting bloc they have now. They get everything they want. Look at our communities. You should see the schools that they have as compared to the schools we have.”
The reality is that black neighborhoods in Chicago have seen a significant deterioration in the quality of life, with poorly funded schools, limited job opportunities, and high crime rates. Meanwhile, migrants are placed in shelters, receive government assistance, and are poised to take advantage of services that should be reserved for American citizens.
This blatant favoritism has left black Americans feeling abandoned by the very party they have supported for generations.
In an attempt to defuse the situation, Rep. Jackson claimed that many of the migrants arriving in Chicago don’t qualify for asylum and won’t become U.S. citizens. But the resident wasn’t buying it, responding, “I’m not concerned about that, I’m concerned about the children that they have. They will be U.S. citizens and they will have a voting bloc.”
The crowd’s reaction made it clear that this was the crux of the issue—the future political implications of an ever-growing migrant population. The people of Chicago are not just worried about the present but about what lies ahead for their children and grandchildren.
Jackson’s dismissal of these concerns only added fuel to the fire. For many in the black community, it feels as though their elected representatives are prioritizing illegal migrants over the very people they were elected to serve. Jackson’s response was a classic example of the Democratic establishment’s tone-deaf approach to illegal immigration: ignore the concerns of working-class Americans while pushing policies that favor those who break the law to enter the country.
One of the most egregious aspects of the current situation in Chicago is that the overwhelming majority of taxpayer-funded migrant shelters have been placed in black neighborhoods. These communities, already struggling with crime, poverty, and underfunded schools, are now expected to shoulder the additional burden of providing for tens of thousands of illegal immigrants.
The irony is not lost on these residents. After years of promises from Democratic leaders about improving their quality of life, they are now watching those same resources be redirected to migrants who haven’t contributed to the city.
As one resident succinctly put it, “Look at our communities. You should see the schools that they have as compared to the schools we have.” Black Americans in Chicago are no longer willing to sit by quietly as their neighborhoods are overrun and neglected. They are starting to organize, with grassroots black organizations now pledging to “vote red” in an effort to throw black Democrats out of office.
This is a significant shift in the political landscape, as black voters have historically been a loyal voting bloc for the Democratic Party. But with illegal immigration threatening their communities and livelihoods, many are beginning to see that the party no longer represents their best interests.
As black communities in Chicago and other cities across the country feel the brunt of illegal immigration, many are turning their attention to the one leader who made securing the border a top priority: Donald Trump. Under President Trump’s leadership, the border was more secure, illegal immigration was declining, and the focus was on putting American citizens first.
Trump’s “America First” agenda resonates with black Americans who feel left behind by a Democratic Party more concerned with pandering to migrants than addressing the needs of its own citizens.
Trump’s strong stance on border security, his efforts to reduce illegal immigration, and his focus on job creation for all Americans—including black Americans—are in stark contrast to the open-borders policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
Under Biden and Harris, the southern border is wide open, allowing millions of migrants to flood into the country with little to no oversight. The result has been chaos in cities like Chicago, where black residents are now realizing that their votes for Democratic leaders have come at a steep price.
The Biden-Harris administration’s handling of illegal immigration has been nothing short of a disaster. Their refusal to enforce border security, coupled with their encouragement of migrants to enter the country illegally, has led to a tidal wave of migrants overwhelming cities across America.
And while they may claim to care about working-class Americans, their actions speak louder than words. Black Americans, in particular, are feeling the effects of these policies as their neighborhoods become ground zero for migrant shelters and taxpayer-funded programs designed to support illegal immigrants.
The backlash against Biden and Harris is growing, and it’s not just coming from Republicans. Black Americans, once a reliable voting bloc for the Democratic Party, are beginning to question whether their loyalty has been misplaced. They see their communities being neglected while illegal immigrants are given preferential treatment, and they are starting to organize in opposition to their own elected officials.
As grassroots black organizations in Chicago pledge to “vote red” in the next election, it’s clear that the tide is turning. The Democratic Party can no longer take the black vote for granted, especially when their policies are actively harming the very communities they claim to represent.
The frustration and anger expressed at Rep. Jonathan Jackson’s town hall meeting are indicative of a larger movement brewing across America. Black Americans are tired of being taken for granted by a party that prioritizes illegal immigrants over its own citizens. They are tired of watching their neighborhoods deteriorate while resources are funneled to support those who broke the law to enter the country.
The solution, as that passionate resident said, is simple: “Send them back.” It’s time for the Biden-Harris administration to stop ignoring the concerns of everyday Americans and start putting the needs of its citizens first. Illegal immigration is not just a border issue—it’s an American issue. And it’s one that the people of Chicago, and the rest of the country, are no longer willing to ignore.
