Recently, a liberal Democrat Chicago alderman expressed his frustration with the Biden administration over the ensuing migrant crisis.
Throughout the Biden administration, illegaI immigration has seen a significant spike, where migrants are piling into America’s cities and overwhelming local infrastructure.

Chicago’s 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins appeared on CNN’s “CNN News Central,” where he addressed Biden’s handling of the border crisis. Hopkins noted that the president’s response to the issue was unacceptabIe and that he had “lost patience” with the administration.

I have to be optimistic. You know, I’m a Democrat, but I’ll say the Biden administration has absolutely dropped the ball. I’m not going to Iet them off the hook,” Hopkins said. “They have left us in the ditch with this and that’s unacceptable.

Hopkins further criticized Biden for his administration’s inaction on the issue. However, he noted that it isn’t too late to take substantive measures to address the migrant crisis. The alderman did emphasize that action should occur imminently as the cities struggle to get a grip on the issues presented by the influx of immigrants.

Where’s the federal government been? Where has the Biden administration been? You know, it’s not too late to do the right thing but every day that goes by while we let the border remain open and while we let cities try to address this humanitarian crisis, it gets worse by the day, Hopkins said. “I’ve lost patience, as you could probably tell,” he stated.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson also weighed in on the issue, explaining how the migrant crisis is a nationwide problem that cities must address in the absence of funding from the federal government.“[W]ithout real significant investment from our federal government, it won’t just be the city of Chicago that won’t be able to maintain this mission; it’s the entire country that is now at stake,” Johnson said.
