(CBS) -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are differing on where the fingers should be pointed when it comes to federal anti-violence help, reports WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore.
Jackson and Emanuel agree curbing violence involves not just police, but economic development and jobs in high crime neighborhoods; but Jackson seemed to fault President Barack Obama for funding priorities that appear to put immigrant children coming across the borders first.
âIf we can find $4 billion for those children â and we should â we can find $2 billion for Chicago. There are more children involved, and more have been killed, and more have been shot,â said Jackson.
