Lightfoot sends letter to Abbott urging him not to send any more migrants

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) sent a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday urging him to not bus any more migrants to Chicago, calling his move “inhumane and dangerous.”
Lightfoot said that Texas was planning on sending more migrants to Chicago starting Monday, which she argued against, noting that Chicago does not have the resources to house more migrants. She said in the letter that since Chicago has responded to the arrival of migrants sent by Texas in August 2022, the city has cared for more than 8,000 people.
She wrote that Chicago has “no more shelters, spaces, or resources” to address another influx of migrants to the city.
She said that many of those migrants arrived in need of food, water and medical care, all of which she said Texas failed to address. She also pointed out that some of the migrants who arrived in Chicago were victims of sexual assault or in active labor and reiterated that those urgent needs were not addressed in Texas.

8000? She's bitching about 8,000?
How many flow into Texas daily?

Keep sending them to as many blue cities until they finally get the picture that the border is in 100% crisis and Texas/Arizona cant keep up.

I like how these lib clowns are too dumb to realize them publicly bitching is further proving the point that we've been trying to make for decades

Maybe because Texas was full before Chicago was?

Start bussing them to DC and drop them right in front the Capitol building.

Good vittles, love, and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride.
CHORUS
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin'
Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope, and throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My heart’s calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waiting at the end of my ride.

She should be addressing this with the Biden administration who have caused this issue, not the State of Texas who is forcing her to acknowledge it.

He should send more. A lot more.

How can a "sanctuary city" no longer provide sanctuary to those seeking it? By all definition, these are the people you are offering the most to serve.

They already know this. They want people that will vote like them to overwhelm people that don’t. They just don’t want them up north where they are

In fact, for equity purposes, non-border states should pay a higher share to subsidize the systemic burden which border states have had to endure for the last 200 years.

Very true
They should’ve addressed it by kicking them TF out. However sending them to NIMBYs like Lightfoot in Chicago & Adams in NYC to watch them squirm is the next best option
