"All this asylum-seeking lie, all this about refugees — no, no, no. What's happening is they're emptying out the dregs of their jails into the United States and to our communities," one Chicago resident said during public comments at Wednesday's meeting.
"They're junking up our country. And yeah, we feel some kind of way about it because it's our country," the resident said. "We're going to get them out of our communities because they don't deserve to be there."
