When Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel met with mayors from Mexico on Friday he opted not to wear a lapel pin of the American flag.
Instead, he embraced his globalist roots and wore a Mexican flag one.
The flag of Mexico was joined with the flag of Chicago.
Emanuel was hosting the mayors of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Juarez on Friday and “One major topic during their visit was the immigration policy of President Donald Trump,” ABC 7 reports.
“Chicago’s mayor confirmed his lead role nationally as the spokesman for sanctuary cities and opponent of Trump administration immigration policies,” according to the news station.
“We are here about building bridges and not walls,” Emanuel said.
Emanuel denied that sheltering illegal immigrants would have a negative impact on Chicago’s black residents, who are experiencing high unemployment rates.
“I think there’s a contradiction in the assertion that if we’re a welcoming city that somehow that means that it leads to unemployment,” the “Godfather” said.
“I don’t think that if one community is part of the city is somehow comes at the expense of another community.”
Speaking to so-called DREAMers, Emanuel said, “You’re safe, you’re secure and you’re supported in the city of Chicago,” according to DNA Info.
The same can’t be said for the 64 people shot and killed in Chicago, or the 333 shot and wounded in the city so far in 2017 — a large share of them being African-American.
