Chicago Mayor: ‘Dangerous’ Abbott ‘Governing out of Fear’ on Migrant ‘Crisis’ that Will ‘Crush Local Economies’
Breitbart ^ | 12/30/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 12/30/2023 7:01:50 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s “CNN This Morning,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stated that local economies are going to be crushed by the migrant “crisis” and that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is “governing out of fear.”

Johnson said, “[W]e have infrastructure in our local communities that [is] not designed to carry such a burden. Local municipalities are not structured to be able to carry the weight of a crisis like this. And I’ve sent a delegation to the border to see firsthand what our bordering cities are experiencing, and what we have said repeatedly is that there has to be better coordination. And without a coordinated operation, this is going to crush local economies, because there is a financial responsibility that we have all taken on. And look, the bottom line is this — at least for my experiences — is that we have a Governor in Texas that is governing out of fear. And what we need right now, we need sound minds, and that’s why I’m grateful for the leadership of Mayor Eric Adams (D) and the leadership of Mayor Mike Johnston, because we are working collectively together to be able to bring some structure around this crisis.”

Couldn’t the same argument be made about why Brandon is doing this to the border states ?

What Johnson is complaining about Abbott has been dealing with since it began.

It was all good and well to illegally flood the country until Adams received a special gift of reality from the great governor of Texas

Didn't this moron declare chiraq a sanctuary city?

It's all fun and games until YOU have to pay for things.

What about the Texas economy, moron? You boys thought it was great when Texas and Arizona carried the load by themselves, and you smug bastards called yourselves “Sanctary cities”.

Meanwhile, Johnson is literally crying about how Chicago is being crushed by illegal migrants. Is Johnson this stupid or is he just engaging in ham-handed projection?

In all fairness, Chicago schools were crap before Brandon took office. On the other hand, I am certain that anything Brandon does will just make things worse. And, yes, it can always get worse.

Complaining? The man is crying like a little girl. He needs to sit in a wheelchair for 35 years like my governor. Even in a wheelchair, Governor Abbott is head and shoulders above crybabies like him and that twin imbecile in New “Yoke”.

Open borders was meant to crush the conservative border states, not the virtue-signaling Northern sanctuary cities.

Johnson is a complete idiot, much like everyone who voted for him.

Given what we saw in the 2020 and 2022 ‘elections’, are we certain he was actually voted for by the most voters, or just had the most ballots show up?

Chicago hasn’t had a decent race riot since 1968, a dem convention. If the gangs go a killin’ like they usually do it well could be the gangsters vs. the illegals. There is no good ending to this.

The irony is so tasty. Chicago is currently doing everything in its power to rid themselves of the mess they have gotten themselves into. Abbott did not declare Texas a sanctuary…. But Chicago did…. So whats the problem?

‘Crush Local Economies’

Tx and Az get more illegals in a week than Chicago has gotten in 3 years and this marxist prick has the nerve to say this.
