Black residents of Chicago’s South
Side, who recently rallied to decry a spate of violence in the city, ripped
President Obama for ignoring their plight while pushing for funding for
illegal immigrants at their expense.
The protest against the rash of shootings was staged
Friday at the Chicago Police Department headquarters building. Over the Fourth
of July weekend, nine people were killed and more than 60 injured, authorities
said
Demonstrators blasted the Obama administration’s inaction
in Chicago while
federal funds are earmarked to help the roughly 50,000 illegal immigrants who
have crossed into America since October.
“Mr. President, we’re asking for you,” one woman said.
“You’re spending billions of dollars in Texas, but we’ve a problem here
in Chicago.
We will not stand by this here, and keep letting this senseless killing and
shooting happen in our community.”
Another resident said, “Today, if you look at the time
that we were brought here as slaves 400 years ago, we got the same results
today.”
