Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s recent testimony before Congress revealed how he prioritizes illegal aliens over American citizens.
Under Johnson’s leadership, Chicago has become a glaring example of how sanctuary city policies prioritize non-citizens over hardworking Chicagoans, all while fostering a culture of dependency that benefits the Democratic Party.
During a heated congressional hearing Wednesday, March 5, the Windy City’s mayor admitted to supporting policies that grant illegal aliens driver’s licenses, taxpayer-funded healthcare, free or reduced college tuition and even abortions.
When pressed by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), Johnson did not dispute his affirmative stance on these benefits – which are often unavailable to struggling American families. This led the congressman to remark: “You’re providing an enormous amount of aid to illegal aliens, aiding and abetting criminals who have come into our country illegally.” (Related: Chicago mayor mulls sending ILLEGALS to suburbs in other counties.)
During the hearing, Johnson repeatedly defended Chicago’s sanctuary policies, claiming they promote public safety by fostering trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities. However, his robotic, scripted responses failed to address the real issue: The erosion of federal law and the prioritization of illegal aliens over American citizens
When asked by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) if it was acceptable for illegal aliens who commit heinous crimes to be released back into the public, Johnson dodged the question. “This is why you have a six percent approval rating: Because you suck at answering questions,” she retorted.
The GOP lawmakers’ criticisms aren’t unfounded, as the Windy City’s sanctuary policies have already cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. In 2023 alone, the city spent nearly $300 million to house, feed and provide medical care for over 38,000 migrants. Meanwhile, homelessness in Chicago has surged by 200 percent from 2023 to 2024, leaving countless American citizens without shelter or support.
Sanctuary city or sanctuary for corruption?
Johnson’s policies are a slap in the face to every Chicagoan struggling to make ends meet. While illegal aliens receive free housing, healthcare and education, American citizens are left to fend for themselves. This blatant favoritism toward illegal aliens is not just misguided – it’s a betrayal of the American people.
But looking at it deeper, Johnson’s policies are a calculated political move. By providing illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded benefits, he ensures their loyalty to the Democratic Party. These individuals, now indebted to the system that sustains them, are likely to vote for Democrats like him in local elections – further entrenching the party’s power.
Johnson’s evasiveness underscores a deeper problem: His policies are not about safety or compassion—they are about political survival. By aligning himself with the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, Johnson has turned Chicago into a magnet for illegal immigration, all while ignoring the needs of his constituents. The mayor’s actions are tantamount to treason against the American people, as he prioritizes the interests of non-citizens over those of the citizens he was elected to serve.
Moreover, his refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement and his willingness to spend millions on illegal aliens while Chicagoans suffer is a disgrace. In the end, Johnson’s sanctuary city policies are not about compassion or justice—they are about power. It’s time for Chicagoans to demand better from their leaders and hold Johnson accountable for his betrayal of the people he was elected to serve.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
