Jesse Jackson hits Obama for putting immigrant children first

[Geee]

Washington Times:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized President Obama for putting unaccompanied alien children before Chicago, and argued that the federal government should award the Windy City $2 billion to help combat violence.

 

“If we can find $4 billion for those children — and we should — we can find $2 billion for Chicago,” Mr. Jackson said, a CBS-affiliated radio station reported Wednesday.

 

“There are more children involved, and more have been killed, and more have been shot,” he said.

 

The reverend’s comments come after the White House asked Congress Tuesday for $3.7 billion to help fund programs to deal with the influx of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the United States’ southern border.
