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.

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.
