Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is suggesting suburban communities step in and help with the city’s growing immigrant problem.
Opponents say Johnson is holding contradictory public policy opinions on the city’s sanctuary status while at the same time – like his predecessor – moving immigrants to the suburbs.
"We see some real support on the horizon," Johnson said in an Aug. 2 press conference, regarding landing spots for the thousands of immigrants the city has attracted in recent months.
Johnson’s comments come as the state’s undocumented population has soared to an estimated 511,000. Chicago alone hosts around half that population, a whopping 7% of the city’s entire population. according to a report from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR).
“In Chicago, South Lawndale (Little Village) is the community area with the largest number of undocumented immigrants (20,000). Recent movements of immigrants have created large undocumented populations in Belmont Cragin, Gage Park, Albany Park, and Brighton Park that now outnumber the undocumented in Pilsen (Lower West Side),” the report reads.
ICIRR reports DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Will counties are home to over 10,000 undocumented immigrants each.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been sending immigrants on buses to Chicago according to NBC News. Chicago's challenges are relatively minor compared to those faced by Texas border towns, he contends. Attributing the border crisis to President Joe Biden, Abbott has said Texas will continue the program until the border is properly secured.

Hopefully those “women” will regret voting for kkkommiecrats.
Wow - an acknowledgement that 7% of the city are illegals. We can debate where the precise tipping point is - 9%, 4%, 10% - but there is some point where illegal presence in the United States is so common that everyone knows of it. And the effect that has on respect for law (traffic laws, criminal laws, tax law, regulatory law) will be impossible to put back in the bottle.
I was in Fort Lauderdale yesterday, getting a “trusted traveler” registration with Customs and Border Protection. Going through the bureaucratic hoops to make exiting and re-entering the US more convenient. I wouldn’t call it arduous, but it required some effort. I have never been arrested, and have passed 5 FBI background checks in my life so far. I had to be fingerprinted, show a passport and state-issued ID, be photographed and interviewed briefly. Glad to do that, but conscious that hundreds, if not thousands that same day were being escorted across the southern border with absolutely no information or identity proof being gathered. That disparity erodes respect for the law as well.
My thoughts exactly.

Don’t forget about the homes of Gyorgy Schwartz and the Harveywood miscreants.

Old advice: Get out of Chicago.
New advice: Get out of Illinois.
I can’t wait until Illinois goes technically bankrupt, or insolvent.

This is the plan. This is the way.
Good idea to send them home! The Democrats will still let them vote by mail.
We will send them right back

On the other hand the Chicago suburbs now vote Democrat so they deserve them as well.
If I ever found a magic lamp and was given one wish by the genie inside....it would be that all the illegals in the U.S. would swim to may-hee-co with a liberal under each arm.
