Hello.
3:17:56
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson, and I am for the state of the 30 day, 60 day rule.
3:18:04
What I believe about the mayor, what he's trying to do is ridiculous.
3:18:07
Like, he, like, he wants this stuff because of the money.
3:18:10
But he just mad because Biden is not paying him back, and he's out the the batting the Biden reelection campaign for the mayor's team.
3:18:18
But I wanna say this right now about this stuff.
3:18:21
Where was I wanna know, like, why didn't Alexa Vilas, who's the immigration chair, talk about what happened recently with illegal immigrant shelters.
3:18:31
She's an immigration sheriff.
3:18:33
She should have bought bought this up because we have couple migrants here right now.
3:18:36
And I think they go into this too.
3:18:38
I don't know what they probably are with illegal micro shelters where you have to pay x amount of money in a donation to stay.
3:18:46
We don't know how they being treated.
3:18:47
We don't know how if they're being abused, sexually abused.
3:18:50
And I think the city council needs us to bring about hearing about sexual abuses in the shelter system related to the migrant committee in conjunction with the immigration committee.
3:18:58
Now Well, happy yesterday, it was a African immigrant who owns 2 businesses enjoying Ariola's district, and as of Felicia's district, I didn't see these 2 here talk say anything.
3:19:12
They didn't come to do a walk through.
3:19:14
They didn't come at all.
3:19:15
So I don't think they really care about the migrants other than you to say, like, deep port get rid of the migrants.
3:19:19
I think it's kinda, like, it it's kind of student duty area here.
3:19:22
You can't do anything about it.
3:19:23
But I'm gonna make this point right now, like, the mayor what he's trying to do is he's trying to get Republican support.
3:19:31
He's trying to get conservative and moderate support for reelection because he's scared of a potential primary probably from Scott Stenger.
3:19:39
And this is all about.
3:19:40
He's he's trying to piece the right He's trying to get the Republican support.
3:19:44
I think he's kinda stupid.
3:19:46
But it just like, this is this the 30 day sick day rule need to stay.
3:19:51
These people are here.
3:19:52
There's no need to really do about it.
3:19:54
You you could stay close to board or you want.
3:19:56
That's a different topic, but they're already here.
3:19:59
You can't do anything about it.
3:20:00
Just what it is.
3:20:01
So I'm for the I'm for the role.
3:20:03
Keep it, please.
3:20:04
Thank you.
