Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker has begged his Texas counterpart Greg Abbott to stop busing migrants to Chicago as inclement weather is set to hit the Windy City this week.
The Democrat's request comes as new census numbers show Chicago has 4,468 more recently-arrived asylum seekers than previously thought, bringing the total number to 34,562.
'While action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves,' Pritzker wrote in a letter to the Republican send on Friday and seen by the Chicago Sun-Times.
quote:
'Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state.'
Pritzker added that Abbott's 'callousness' in flying or busing migrants to Chicago during the weather conditions was 'now life-threatening to every one of the arrivals' as temperatures are expected to plunge.

Only Chicago lives matter...sorta

Pritzker and most people in Illinois voted for this.

Abbott should say "okay...we'll send them to Cali for now"

Abbott should turn the argument back on him - he should use his leverage as a leader in the democrat party and as leader of one of the most populous states to appeal Biden for “mercy” and fix this problem at the federal level.
The root cause of this issue is NOT Texas

I hear the weather in Mexico is nice this time of year. They should stay there.

It's pretty fricking warm in Mexico and South America-- year round. Maybe we should make sure they stay there.

Yet again a loudmouth democrat in a "sanctuary" rejects migrants and says things that we are all thinking in a larger sense about the entire USA.
Who is telling these people to cross the Darien Gap and Sonora desert and brave the cartells to come to the USA? This is criminal behaviour.

disingenuous prick
The border states are saturated with invaders and he's all the sudden a warm hearted humanitarian.

Abbott should tell him to frick off.
Posted on 1/15/24 at 11:12 am to WPBTiger
Abbott response should be “take it up with Biden”
Posted on 1/15/24 at 11:17 am to WPBTiger
Abbot should tell him he'll do that as soon as Pritzker sends 10,000 Illinois National Guardsmen to help Texas secure the border.

I used to work with a Latina who is CBP now. She said these people are coming here making it known they want to go these various cities. Abbott is just helping them get there.

Abbott says welcome to my normal weekend day.
Dems are horrible evil humans.

I can guarantee that the feds have sent exponentially more illegals to the sanctuary city of Chicago than Texas has

Pritzker just signed into law various provisions to put people in danger - but now he's worried about lives? This fat loser is an embarrassment. Proof that money does not make you smart.

Fat billionaire from Chicago blames problems he helped manufacture on others.
Shocked.
Shocked.
