Chicago leaders are facing backlash over hundreds of migrants being housed at O'Hare International Airport, one of the nation's busiest airports.
Chicago reporter William Kelly joined "Fox & Friends" Thursday to discuss what the city has been experiencing as a result of the influx of migrants.
More than 400 migrants are reportedly being housed in a section of the airport, hidden from public view behind black curtains, up from 31 at the beginning of August.
Kelly said the airport is one of only 18 migrant shelters in Chicago and that homeless Americans are no longer allowed to stay at the airport. The city previously struggled with an influx of homeless people at the airport but initiated a crackdown earlier this year after then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced criticism.
"Mayor Johnson campaigned as the people's mayor. Sadly, the people are telling me that he's the migrants' mayor," said Kelly.
Kelly said he does not think the same security and background checks that Americans go through at airports apply to migrants. Meanwhile, the city continues to struggle with crime and to recover from the coronavirus lockdowns.
"There are millions upon millions of dollars being spent on this migrant crisis. Nobody knows where the money is going, or what it's being spent on."
Kelly said he has been unable to receive answers from the mayor.
"Sadly, Mayor Johnson must have taken Mayor Lightfoot's course at Harvard on media relations, because he won't answer my questions."

Send Chicago another million illegals. Let them take their grievances to THEIR President - Biden the Sniffer.
Border states have been dealing with this crap for decades and we feel ZERO sympathy for ‘sanctuary cities’...
Not “Mad Max”, “Soylent Green”.
Democrats create chaos, then tell you they’ve got the solution to the chaos.
Extra illegals can be sent to Portland or New York or any blue hellhole city... all white liberal ‘elites’ deserve the opportunity to show the rest of us ‘how superior they are’ to traditional Americans.
Maybe 10,000 illegals to Martha’s Vineyard would be a nice touch for the creepy liberal ‘elites’ living there. Or a million to Oberlin College...
You do realize that the majority are not Mexican anymore?
“There are millions upon millions of dollars being spent on this migrant crisis. Nobody knows where the money is going, or what it’s being spent on.”
I’d like to know where it’s COMING FROM. Is t there a budget? Government today seem able to pull money out of their ass.
That's especially funny knowing democrat fools have to convince themselves it's not happening and then have to hoodwink stupid bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the press to agree not see it either.
What a good way to spread disease
The democrat party and all its voters are the enemy, folks, not so much the russians or chinese.
The silver lining is that as these incidents are reported in the news, the more the awareness grows.
That and a nickel buys a nice hot cup of Jack Squat, as long as they control the elections.
It has been said a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. I think some of the Lefties require more than one mugging courtesy of their "clientele" to come to realize how idiotic they have been.
Why use black curtains? Just use the Red Carpet Club, the Admiral Club, etc. No need to provide coach level service to the illegals; treat them like first class all the way,
How about shipping them to Rehoboth Beach. Biden and his family really need to get a taste of what he’s inflicting on the rest of the country.
For every $10 spent on migrants,$1 is pocketed by the Black Chicago officials
My daughter has a flight out of O’Hare tomorrow.
