The UnWoke Show Season 2, Episode: 77 “Chicago’s Budget Is Under Pressure… And Immigration Spending Is at the Center”

Chicago’s budget is under pressure… and immigration spending is right at the center of the debate. Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed allocating millions toward services for migrants, at a time when the city is already juggling competing needs. That’s where the pushback is coming from. Some residents are asking whether the city can afford it… and what it means for other priorities. Others argue these services are necessary… and part of how the city manages a growing challenge. So what’s the real trade-off here? Where does the money go… what gets scaled back… and how are these decisions being made? Tim and Rich break it down on The UnWoke Show.   Show Notes https://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/recent-lawsuit-sheds-light-chicago-migrant-funds-being-spent/3466051/ https://news.wttw.com/2024/04/19/city-council-votes-30-18-spend-70m-more-care-migrants-chicago   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698 https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
