Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was mocked on social media by conservatives
for a video from October that resurfaced in which he says part of the
reason he hadn't scheduled a trip to the Mexican border was that he has a
"Black wife raising three Black children."

"I have a wife, I have children, they have schedules," Johnson said. "And
plus, we still have public safety that we have to address, we still have
the unhoused that we have to address, I still have a budget that I have to
address," Johnson said. "And I'm doing all of that with a Black wife
raising three Black children on the west side of the city of Chicago. I am
going to the border as soon as possible."

One commenter on X snarked, "Incredible! He has a wife and children AND
has a job. What an amazing man."

Another commenter who criticized the Mayor's statements took issue with
the policies behind the migrant surge in Chicago, "You asked to be a
sanctuary city now deal with it. Nobody cares what color you are or your
family is."

"I have children who attend schools who have soccer games, y'all," Johnson
said. "You know, you all are asking me as if I'm not a parent in this
city. I get it, I'm mayor, but you're asking me to give you a date."

The remark returned to haunt Johnson as he met Gov. JB Pritzker on Monday
to discuss the migrant crisis in the city, with more than 35,000 migrants
arriving in Chicago in the last year and a half, according to numbers
reported by local ABC television station WLS.

CHICAGO INVESTS NEARLY $18M TO FEED ILLEGAL MIGRANTS AMID HOMELESS CRISIS

Pritzker has offered state money to the city to help manage the crisis and
house migrants, according to the report, though that money has not yet
been allocated to a specific project.

In comments to reporters Tuesday, Johnson said that it is going to take
all levels of government to come together to solve the ongoing border
crisis.

"This mission is going to take all of us," the mayor told reporters.
"There is a strong commitment still for the state, county and city to
continue to challenge the federal government to respond to this
international crisis"

CHICAGO MAYOR RIPPED FOR OBJECTING TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FLOWN INTO CITY:
‘TAKE IT UP WITH YOUR PAL JOE'

Johnson, who took over as mayor in May of last year, has previously made
promises to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border himself to get a firsthand
view of the crisis. But a planned October trip was canceled by the mayor,
who reasoned his time was better off spent dealing with the immediate
needs in Chicago and instead sent. a delegation of city officials in his
place.

The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital
request for comment.
