He didn’t seem particularly concerned enough over blacks shooting each other in the streets of Chicago, nor all the crime in the city, but, a few illegals shipped to Chicago? Well
Gov. J.B. Pritzker is signing a disaster proclamation to secure resources for the asylum-seekers bused to Illinois from Texas and has deployed 75 National Guard members to assist with the logistics of receiving the migrants, he announced Wednesday.
Speaking at a news conference, Pritzker again criticized his Texas counterpart, Gov. Greg Abbott, for failing to coordinate or communicate with Illinois and Chicago officials and derided his actions as a “stunt.”
”I’m not going to mince words here: The governor of Texas is forcing on New York and (Washington) D.C. and Chicago and potentially other places a needlessly last minute and complex process that is a heartless display of politics over people,” Pritzker said. “Why not give reasonable notice? Why send these folks only to blue cities or blue states? Why isn’t Abbott sending refugees to Mississippi or Oklahoma or Idaho? This is about politics for him.”
The border towns do not really receive notice when the illegals stream in, right? Nor when the Biden admin forces Customs And Border Patrol to release the illegals and open the gates, right? Or, when the Biden admin flies illegals to small cities around the nation in the dead of night, right? Or when Chicago sent a bunch of those illegals to a small city outside Chicago, right?
Pritzker said the migrants are in the country legally as asylum-seekers and that many trekked for months to make it to the U.S. border to escape oppression and persecution. But upon arrival, Pritzker said, they were herded into buses and dumped in the “dead of night” at Chicago’s Union Station.
And almost none of them will qualify for asylum. Why should small towns in Texas and Arizona have to deal with these folks and not the cities that call themselves sanctuaries? Seems like these pro-illegal folks are pretty upset that they have to now deal with the consequences of their pro-illegal beliefs
Meanwhile, Pritzker said that the Illinois attorney general and Chicago city attorneys, among other agencies, are investigating whether there is “criminal liability” for Abbott’s actions.
Oh, is Abbott responsible for failing to secure the border? Isn’t that the job of the federal government, per the Constitution and federal law?
Lightfoot said since Aug. 31, when the first busload of asylum-seekers arrived, about 500 migrants have arrived in Chicago. She expects that number to grow.
Chicago has to deal with about 500, there’s been around 130,000 Venezuelans alone who’ve crossed the border this fiscal year. El Paso is dealing with around 1,000 migrants of all nationalities a day and hundreds of releases a day. That’s one city. Chicago can suck it.
And more:
2 migrant buses arrive outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Naval Observatory residence in DC
Two migrant buses from Del Rio, Texas, arrived near Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., Thursday morning.
Between 75 and 100 people who were picked up in Eagle Pass, Texas, were sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The group includes migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico. Multiple migrants, asked by Fox News Digital, said they think the border is open, contrary to what Harris said Sunday during an interview.
And
Lawmakers in Massachusetts were tasked with caring for dozens of migrants Wednesday after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a ritzy island located in Dukes County.
On Wednesday, Democratic lawmakers voiced their criticism online after they were forced to act swiftly to provide them shelter, food, blankets and other necessities to the 50 migrants who now reside in their state.
If it’s a disaster for Chicago to get a busload of illegals, what is it for Texas to get thousands and thousands and thousands?
Love it-sanctuary cities actually having to experience being sanctuary cities? The horror…
Bwaha!

Lori Lightfoot says its unchristian to ship Immigrants to Chicago. A city that claims it is welcoming of Illegals with open arms. Proclaims itself as a Sanctuary City for the downtrodden and abused.
Chicago is the land of gun fights and drive-by shootings.
Yes, I see her point it probably is unchristian to send Illegals to their certain DEATH by sending them to the Frontlines of war in America.
On a brighter note, the governor called out the national guard for a few hundred illegals. It would be laughable if not downright pathetic. Doesn’t he know how much CO2 those trucks will be spewing as they patrol the city of Chicago??? Just another example of why the Left does not believe in AGW they only pay it lip service to keep the NAZI’S from their Doorsteps.
Everything the leftist democommies say and do contradicts the previous things they’ve said and done. And yet they fail to see themselves as the assholes they truly are.
MAGA
Wow. Another “target-rich environment”!
The irony is delicious and incredible. Also the lack of self-awareness.
Because the blue states (e.g. Mississippi or Oklahoma and Idaho) haven’t declared themselves sanctuaries, AFAIK.
Either Pritzker is an idiot, or he thinks his base are. Could be both.
Both.
Gov. Grabbit isn’t ‘forcing’ anything on these sanctuary cities / states, he’s merely sharing the wealth of the illegals that are being forced on Texas by the president they put in office.
Alternate headline: “libs in meltdown as diversity is brought to Martha’s Vineyard”.
Here’s my plan…. declare war on Mexico and seize Baja California. Wall it off good. Dump all the illegals there and let them fend for themselves. ( only slightly kidding )
