Chad Koppie, currently running unopposed for Illinois’ 7th Congressional District, explains why this is a subject that deserves more focus.
The migrant crisis has reached critical levels in the United States, but it’s particularly creating havoc in Chicago, where a number of black citizens have sounded off against what their government is doing.
Per this video from Benny Johnson, city officials have noted that they are treating migrants with a “humanitarian” approach, but residents are far from pleased with that approach. In fact, some fear that they are being replaced, with officials set to give them more care than the people that actually live there.
As a result, we’re starting to see black voters in Chicago turning against the Democrats and their pre-set immigration policy. Per Johnson, “They are realizing that America’s policies do not benefit them. In fact, it benefits everyone but Americans.”
That’s why Chad Koppie wants to do something about it. Koppie is currently running unopposed for Illinois’ 7th Congressional District, in the hopes of making big changes when it comes to supporting citizens and doing something about the migrant crisis.
And the timing couldn’t be better, especially with black people ditching Democratic parties in other cities as well.
Koppie joins us now to discuss the matter further, as well as what he hopes to do in the Congressional seat.
Q&A:
- Why are Chicago officials more concerned with what’s happening with migrants instead of their black citizens?
- Are they worried about looking “humanitarian” at the time of re-election, or is it something else that potentially benefits them?
- Don’t Democratic leaders actually see the trouble that comes from going against the black voters that could help them keep a seat in office?
- Where do you see the migrant crisis going as 2024 goes on? Could it potentially become a “hot topic” when it comes to the Presidential Election? And smaller seats as well?
- Tell us what pushed you to run for the House seat for the 7th Congressional District, and why you think you’d be an ideal candidate for the seat.
