Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has slammed Texas Governor Greg Abbott as ‘racist’ after he announced he would be bussing illegal migrants to the city. Lightfoot, a Democrat, attacked the GOP governor despite repeatedly bragging that Chicago is a ‘sanctuary city’, as it witnessed the arrival of 60 people on Wednesday, August 30.

If I was an illegal alien I would be pissed if you sent me to Chicago.

Especially if you left your country because of street crime, murders and gangs only to find Chicago worse.

The new meaning of "Racist" is apparently "Disagree with a Liberal".

Is it “racist” if Texas is sending ‘white hispanics’?

The racist label just never seems to wear out and it has no limits to application. Anything they don’t like is racist.

You would think that by now the labeling would have worn out and become truly meaningless.

There aren’t any. They and the children have all been sold to slave traders and into prostitution.

Great photo. Now they’ll have lots of women and children who don’t speak English and need to be housed somewhere and fed.

It has been emptied of meaning, but it still has its old social and emotional impact. Most Americans are terrified of being called “racist”, regardless of how ludicrous the claim is.

A large part of the left wing vocabulary is reserved for words like that.

Racist is the term dims use when they have lost all reasonable arguments. Then they spread it like peanut butter.

Yep, 4 syllables so it's doubtful.

Why is Mayor Lightfoot not racist for objecting to this?

That’s right. Abbott shouldn’t have had to. She should have stepped up and bused them up there herself to make Chicago more diversified.

We’re a sanctuary city, but don’t hold us to that. Being good democrats, we prefer to be judged on our words, not actions. Let’s see that dignity and respect for, oh say, about 200,000 new Chicagoans.

Hey Lori, this should solve your problem of population decline due to people fleeing your policies.

The “migrants” in question are not BLACK, rendering their arrival racist.

I think it is time for Mayor Beetlejuice to return to her own planet.

I still think gov Abbott should consider for TX to secede from the union. Why should TX carry the burden of an invasion of all 50 states or Abbott should ask for a monetary contribution from the other 49 states to bear the cost of the invasion. After secession, first act should be opening our O&G industry and build refineries. Simultaneously turn all AR-15’s in a southward direction and close the border. Tell invaders to enter US via CA,AZ,NM ONLY. Non-com pliers will be treated like invaders during war time (including those entering with citizenship from other states). Iexans should not have to carry the burden of inconvenience associated with the invasion without being reimbursed for it by the other 49 states. Build gasoline stations on the TX border for Northerners to buy gasoline at a lower price than they pay at home. Count the money and celebrate the absence of refugees from blue states.
