Here’s what Explore Chicago has to say about the area, which has been taken over by criminal invaders from Mexico, and their murderous gangs.
Little Village
Chicago is home to a huge and vibrant Mexican-American [illegal alien] community, but nowhere is that more readily and genuinely felt than the Little Village neighborhood on the city’s West Side. A tiled, terra cotta gateway emblazoned with ‘bienvenidos’ warmly welcomes visitors to experience the supermarkets, taquerias and countless carts and vendors hawking churros, tamales and other authentic Mexican street foods. As one might expect, the annual Mexican Independence Day and Cinco de Mayo fiestas in Little Village are among the biggest such celebrations in the city.
Whereas most reporters hide behind the propaganda of "senseless violence," I have to give Chicago Tribune reporter Becky Schlikerman credit in this case, for letting readers know what's really behind this killing, which was anything but "senseless."

Two teenagers were charged with the murder of a 6-year-old girl in Little Village who was likely caught in the middle of a gang shooting, police said Sunday.
Juan Barraza, 18, and a 16-year-old boy charged as an adult who police would not name, have been charged with murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm in the slaying of Aliyah Shell. Both teens are said to be affiliated with the Latin Kings street gang, police said.
The little girl was killed Saturday afternoon after suffering multiple gunshot wounds in front of her home in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue about 3:30 p.m., police said.
The girl was on her front porch with her mother, younger sister and a male when a pickup truck pulled up in front of the house and someone fired multiple shots out of the window, hitting the child, according to Chicago Police News Affairs.
The girl was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, where she was later declared dead.
Her family declined to comment Sunday.
Police described members of the family as gang affiliated. Police are investigating whether the suspects were gunning for members of a rival gang, the Two-Sixers.
Both suspects questioned in Aliyah's slaying were said to be affiliated with the Latin Kings street gang, police said.
The Ogden District has seen a rash of shootings in recent weeks related to gang conflict.
Barraza, of the 2800 block of S. Christiana Avenue, and the 16-year-old were both expected to appear in bond court on Monday.
Neighbors said they were spooked.
“The girl had nothing to do with it,” said Genaro Romo, 62. “What happened to the girl could happen to anyone out here.”
[What a liar. What happened to the girl could happen to anyone out here from a gang family. And if Chicago weren’t a sanctuary city, in violation of federal law, the gangs would not have taken it over, with the support of the Genaro Romos.]
Father of three Jaime Mora, 32, said he has to be more careful now.
“Now I won’t be able to let my kids play outside,” he said, watching over his 10 year old son.
As relatives and friends passed through the Springfield Avenue home, they walked past a lone pink stuffed bunny on the steps to the home. The Two Six gang uses a bunny with a bent ear as its symbol.
Aliyah’s memorial pink bunny had one ear flopped down.
