Chicago’s self-professed “progressive” Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson said on Saturday that there are no “illegal aliens” in his city and it is racist to say there are.

He went on to say that if we refer to “undocumented individuals” as “illegal aliens,” then we should also call all black people “slaves.”

“We don’t have illegal aliens,” Johnson offhandedly exclaimed. “I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish you’ve had.”

Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric kicked off after a reporter asked him why he has yet to supply the federal government with his report on how much his administration has spent on illegal aliens.

He went on to once again conflate racism against blacks with the migrant issue, and added, “Listen, the legal term for my people were slaves. You want me to use that term, too?”

Johnson then climbed on a soap box and scolded the press about its penchant for attacking “human beings.”

“Let’s just get the language right,” the mayor snipped. “We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing that I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”
