COMMENTARY

By Peter Navarro - - Tuesday, December 26, 2023

OPINION:


If the wages of sin are death, surely the wages of “woke” must be the death of America’s cities.

Take Chicago. It has the best architecture, those beloved and once again hapless Cubbies, a truly Magnificent Mile on the shore of Lake Michigan, deep-dish pizza, Harold’s fried chicken, and a wonderland of a Navy pier.

Yet to enjoy any of these Windy City treats is to risk a carjacking and the crossfire of warring gangs. Chicago is the carjacking capital of America, and its most gang-infested city.

Chicago’s “sanctuary city” status has left it at a tipping point into chaos because of the open-border policies of President Biden. Fully one-third of Chicago’s projected $538 million budget deficit for 2024 flows from its flood of illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, over 10,000 migrants are scattered across the city in temporary shelters or, get this, housed in Chicago police stations. These poorly educated illegal aliens are crowding out Black and brown Chicagoans at the lower end of the labor market, driving down wages and sparking angry confrontations.

Then there is the roller coaster, trolley car ride of a city where excrement literally does roll downhill: San Francisco. In this moral desert of Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Gov. Gavin Newsom, homelessness, public defecation and drug addiction are now Frisco’s finest art.

The “woke” failure I have witnessed up close and personal is my once beloved Washington. I went to Bethesda Chevy Chase High School across the D.C. line in Maryland. I spent countless days honing my basketball skills — and learning all I’ve ever needed to know about race relations — on the predominantly Black D.C. playgrounds. The nights I spent with my girlfriend at the Howard Theater rocking to Motown are among my life’s fondest memories.

Today, however, D.C. is dead to me. I am a Florida resident and return to the D.C. swamp only occasionally to deal with my legal issues.
