Danielle Carter-Walters, a vice president from Chicago, voiced strong criticism of the Democratic Party regarding its approach to the ongoing migrant crisis during a testimony before Congress. She argued that the current policies are disconnected from the realities faced by local communities, particularly in light of the estimated 51,000 undocumented immigrants arriving in Chicago since August 2022.

Carter-Walters expressed her frustration with figures like Jasmine Crockett and Al Sharpton, saying they perpetuate misleading narratives about the situation without truly understanding the challenges faced by residents. She highlighted the severe implications of unvetted migrants entering the community, asserting that the true extent of this issue is becoming evident.

Moreover, she called for a thorough audit to examine how taxpayer funds related to the migrant situation have been utilized. While she clarified that her concerns are not rooted in hatred for immigrants, she stressed the importance of managing immigration processes correctly and ensuring that laws are applied fairly to all citizens, including the potential consequences that could arise from violating these laws.
