  1. Not a comment on the site – it’s very informative if that’s helpful.

    I called Racine Mayors office and asked if Racine is a sanctuary city. Lady says “I don’t know”. I responded that’s an easy question. She said “I’m new, give me your number.”

    I called Kenosha Mayors office and asked if they knew Racines status and got the same reply, “I’m new”. I asked if that was what they were told to parrot out as a reply and told her Google says Racine is and that I want to know what the Mayor of Kenosha thinks of this and has he called the Mayor of Racine in light of the Chicago overflow of migrants.

    I await any word from either office.

    Ridiculous.
