The immigrant problem is driving Chicago's nightmarish political scene to a breaking point. Violence has not been uncommon in Chicago in recent years. But as the nation struggles with illegal immigration, actual signs of a crisis can be seen all over Chicago's streets.
On March 21, Ben Bergquam of Real America's Voice and Terry Newsome of Behind Enemy Lines collaborated to reveal the truth about the humanitarian crisis in Chicago.
The economy of violence and exploitation has gotten out of control in blue cities across America because of the Democrat party's widespread corruption, even if many immigrants are probably looking for a better future.
Murder and other violent crimes have struck both legal and undocumented immigrants and Americans. Cities such as Chicago indicate that the human catastrophe at the feet of American taxpayers shows no signs of abating.
The illegal immigration crisis in Chicago was brought to light in a video that Ben Bergquam of Real America's Voice re-posted on X from Terry Newsome of the Behind Enemy Lines podcast in December 2023. The post gained over half a million views after going viral.
In an attempt to slow down the migrant influx, Newsome had reported on the political strategy of diverting busloads of immigrants to suburban areas of Chicago. Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson attempted to demonize immigrant mothers and children by accusing Texas Governor Gregg Abbott of being the mastermind behind the illegal invasion carried out by the Biden administration.
Law enforcement had been instructed by Mayor Johnson to both ticket and seize buses carrying undocumented immigrants into the city.
In response, the bus operators rerouted their lines to suburban rail terminals, forcing the undocumented immigrants to spend the bitter Chicago winter waiting on their journey.
Some of these exchanges were captured on camera by Newsome for his podcast and newly launched news website, Behind Enemy Lines. The Gateway Pundit published a story about an encounter Newsome had in the train station in Downers Grove, Illinois, in February 2024.
Newsome came across several immigrants from Venezuela who seemed to be flashing tattoos and gang signals connected to the international criminal organization Tren de Aragua. Many of these immigrants professed their loyalty to Biden, as was to be expected.
In order to talk with Pastor David Lowery and other disgruntled African Americans on the south side of Chicago in March 2024, Newsome and Bergquam drove to a well-known repurposed factory. The guys voiced their worries about the immigration wave, which they believe will result in even lower pay being paid under the table in order to make ends meet. They discussed the growing cost to taxpayers of providing the various social services required to care for the undocumented immigrants.
There was a definite sense of dissatisfaction with the Democratic party for backing these policies.
The 51 Democratic senators who voted against Marsha Blackburn's CLEAR Act measure recently demonstrated their indifference to the suffering of Americans. The law, among other things, would assist in deporting illegal immigrants who commit serious crimes.
Regardless of political orientation, the majority of Americans are aware of the illegal immigration situation. According to NPR's gaslighting misinformation, which ran under the headline "Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find," on March 8, that reality is apparently no defense. The article is your standard mutilation of broad data, like "They discovered that immigrants without documentation have a 37.1% lower chance of being found guilty of a crime."
A lower probability to be convicted is, of course, less worrying than whether or not someone is more likely to actually commit a crime.
This is undoubtedly a distinction that NPR edited out of the story. They also mentioned a 2007–2016 study that found no connection between an increase in crime and the presence of unauthorized immigrants. Without the background of attacks on law enforcement in recent years and the funding of criminal leniency in blue cities like Chicago since 2020, this is scarcely relevant.
Nothing demonstrates the Democrat-induced mayhem in Chicago more than the accidental meeting that occurred between Newsome and Bergquam on March 21st.
Together with Pastor Lowery, the two came upon a bunch of illegals who were purportedly involved in a drug deal. With over a million views on Bergquam's X post, the incident became viral. The illegals are shown in the film confronting Newsome and Bergquam face-to-face, being hostile and furious over their actions. One of the illegals gives a middle finger in the final moments of the incident, expressing his disdain.
It would have been impossible to find a more appropriate way to sum up a Biden America.
Must see! Outside of one of Mayor Johnson’s measles outbreak, illegal alien shelters in Chicago, Illinois, three illegal thugs were not happy when we started filming them.

The most startling discovery, though, came from Terry Newsome's FOIA request.
When Newsome attempted to report on the illegal alien refuge at the Inn of Chicago, he was met with resistance from staff members. As a result, he filed a FOIA request for all calls, complaints, reports, or arrests related to the facility between January 1, 2023, and February 22, 2024.
Many violent crimes, such as aggravated battery, assault, domestic battery, burglary, robbery, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, child abuse, child abduction, endangering the life or health of a child, and multiple stabbings, were reported in the 200 pages of reporting that were returned.
There are details of situations involving mental health scattered throughout the reports. A few very detailed reports are shown below, one of which involves a husband physically abusing his wife for sending money back to the family.
The severely censored case of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a youngster admitted to Lurie Children's Hospital is even more unsettling. Finally, the man physically beating a 4-year-old youngster is depicted in the mugshot.
The Department of Children and Family Services, hospital visits, greater police presence, and several other social welfare programs—many of which the illegal immigrants will undoubtedly be compelled to use—will all be funded by American taxpayers. An economic analysis reveals that the problem is unsustainable.
However, given this reporting from a single Chicago locale, the moral crisis we are facing is intolerable to the continued existence of a country that aspires to be the moral leader of the world. Voting against the Democratic Party in November is no longer considered a political act. It's a conscience vote.
