AMERICANS LAST: Whistleblower Video Confirms Chicago Housing Authority Leaving Homeless Americans on Streets in Favor of Migrants in Housing Application … ‘They Are Prioritizing Immigrants Over Americans’
Key Points
Beatrice, Homeless Whistleblower: “The mayor [of Chicago] has not signed the bill for Americans to be permanently placed.”
Rod, Homeless Male: “They told me that those [migrant] families were a priority over us.”
Rod: “So, I was denied regular clothing. When they told me they didn’t have any -- but I sat there for like, a good 30-45 minutes watching them [migrants] come out of the back with brand new stuff.”
Rod: “I went to check my status for housing. I was number 20 on the list, but now it went to 67 because they had to prioritize the illegal immigrants, and I’m like, that’s so unfair. I’ve been waiting three years on this list.”
Homeless Shelter Worker: “They [immigrants] get placed first because they got nothing…they [Americans] will get placed after, once it’s open.”
[CHICAGO – Feb. 28, 2023] Project Veritas released a new video today showing the harsh conditions that the American homeless population endures because of limited resources that are being prioritized for the influx of illegal immigrants in the city.
Beatrice, who is a whistleblower with concerns for how the American homeless population is being treated, told Veritas journalists that Chicago has prioritized illegals over citizens. She also alleges that the city’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, may be partially to blame.
“The mayor has not signed the bill for Americans to be permanently placed,” Beatrice said.
“They are prioritizing immigrants over Americans,” she said.
In a conversation with a homeless shelter worker, Beatrice asked how the system currently prioritizes housing applications:
Beatrice:You’re placing Americans?
Homeless Shelter Worker:Yes…So, once those [spots] open up and we get their services started, it’s going to house locals and-
Beatrice:So, they don’t just get placed first.
Homeless Shelter Worker:Well, they [immigrants] get placed first because they got nothing.
Beatrice:They get placed first because they have nothing, but how about the homeless Americans?
Homeless Shelter Worker:They will get placed after, once it’s open.
Beatrice:They get placed after.
Homeless Shelter Worker:Mhm.
Veritas journalists spoke to several homeless Americans in Chicago to understand what they have been experiencing.
One of these homeless individuals, Rod, confirmed what Beatrice said.
“They told me that those [migrant] families were a priority over us,” Rod said.
“So, I was denied regular clothing. When they told me they didn’t have any -- but I sat there for like, a good 30-45 minutes watching them [migrants] come out of the back with brand new stuff,” he said.
“I went to check my status for housing. I was number 20 on the list, but now it went to 67 because they had to prioritize the illegal immigrants, and I’m like, that’s so unfair. I’ve been waiting three years on this list.”
