A well-known Chicago activist has called for Donald Trump to 'come in here and clean up this mess,' decrying the influx of migrants and urging authorities to 'send them all back.'
George Blakemore, 81, has for the last 40 years attended every public meeting he can, from City Council to the Chicago Board of Education to the Water Reclamation District, Block Club Chicago reported.
Earlier this month, at a city council hearing to discuss putting Chicago's sanctuary city status on the ballot in March, Blakemore spoke out against Chicago's current policy towards migrants.
More than 26,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago over the past year by bus and plane, with about 14,000 currently in shelters. Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, has sent migrants from his state to Democrat-run cities in the north, in a bid to pressure Joe Biden to take action.
The cities are struggling to cope - and in Chicago a five-year-old boy died in a freezing and damp Chicago shelter on Sunday, and many are sleeping in O'Hare airport or police station lobbies.
Blakemore, who is black, said the situation was untenable.

'I am anti-illegal immigrant,' he said at the December 14 meeting. 'Send them all back across the Rio Grande.'
He yelled: 'We are the only people in America who were enslaved. We didn't come over waiting and looking for something. When we came we built this country, on free labor.
'To see another group come over here - it's disgraceful, it's un-American.'
He asked the council: 'What about the black children? The black workers? They compete with us.'
Blakemore continued: 'I am strictly advocating for black people. Call ICE on them [the illegals].
