A liberal lawmaker in Naperville, Illinois, has suggested that residents open their homes to host immigrant families who entered the country illegally. Councilman Josh McBroom proposed the idea during a city council meeting, claiming that the city is prepared for a potential influx of migrants. McBroom emphasized that taxpayer dollars would not be used for housing any potential migrants and stated, “I think we live in a compassionate community.”

He also pointed out that Naperville is a wealthy, liberal suburb on the outskirts of Chicago, insinuating that the affluent residents should be willing to open their big homes to accommodate migrant families. According to reports, 11 council members expressed their support for this idea.
However, a spokesperson for the Naperville city manager’s office clarified that the city council has not made any final decisions or taken any final action on this issue. The council has only requested staff to prepare a future agenda item for consideration. Additionally, the Massachusetts governor’s administration has also been asking residents to open their homes and businesses to help illegal immigrants.
While the council’s proposal has sparked debate and caused some uproar, it is important for residents to consider the potential implications of hosting illegal immigrants. This move could burden the community with additional responsibilities and raise concerns about the safety and well-being of both the residents and the immigrants.
The conservative perspective believes that the focus should be on addressing the root cause of illegal immigration, securing the borders, and creating a fair and lawful immigration system. This approach will ensure the safety and prosperity of all Americans while upholding the rule of law.
