Ah yes Liberal Chicago Mayor said she would welcome illegal immigrants into her city with open arms (Note: Chicago is over 1000 miles from the southern border so they know it is bluster)...but when it actually happened she realized Chicago suddenly couldn't handle them...so she promptly sent them to the suburbs and "out of sight and out of mind"...even though those suburbs didn't declare themselves sanctuaries.
Some migrants being bused from the southern border are being sent to a Chicago suburb instead of the city with no warning, local officials said.
A group of migrants, who are being bused from Texas as part of a plan by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, arrived at a Hampton Inn in Burr Ridge, Illinois, on Wednesday with no prior notice, according to a report from a Fox affiliate in Chicago.
"I’m glad that the American dream is still alive for a lot of people as it was for my grandparents when they came here and for most people that are in this country," Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Gasso said. "So [I'm] very happy for them but unhappy that nobody from the city, from the state, called and told me or my village administrator or any of our elected officials that this was happening."
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office has come out against Abbott's plan calling it "without any shame or humanity" and racist in a statement shortly after the plan was announced at the end of last month.
Abbott has had migrants bused to three major cities that consider themselves "sanctuary cities," beginning with Washington, D.C., and later adding New York City and Chicago.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has twice requested the deployment of the National Guard to help with the influx of migrants being bused into the city, but she has been denied by the Department of Defense both times.
