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."

Mad Max??? Isn’t that pretty much Chicago on any typical day?
“Camp of the Saints” was supposed to be a warning tale, not an instruction manual.
Yes soon to be
They are NOT MIGRANTS!!!! They are ILLEGAL ALIENS and are required to be ejected!
That's an excellent idea - I'm sure Biden's neighbors would be so thrilled to show all the little people - the rest of us - how superior their 'graciousness' is compared to the rest of us. My guess is he Rehoboth Beach bunch would dump the illegals faster than Martha's Vineyard phonies did...
Or we could ship them to some of the wealthies zip codes in the world - those surrounding Washington DC - where our 'public servants' live and lie...
Oberlin could also teach the children of illegals - and house their dependent parents and grandparents. Let them ‘live the BS’ they want to inflict on the rest of us.
1) Send the bastards to Mexico anyway ... Mexico facilitated their illegal border crossing. Make it Mexico's problem ...
2) That's a valid point ... and them not being Mexican is worse. Many of them come from mohammedan terrorist breeding grounds in the Near East, many come from mainland (Communist) China. The former are potential saboteurs; the latter are almost certainly spies.
“While they find another place for us to go, some have been here for 10 days, but people keep leaving and the city of Chicago will take us and will find a place for us to stay,” a man from Venezuela said.
He said there are hundreds of people like him are in the same boat and while it’s not their choice to sleep here there’s little else they can do.
“No one likes to live there, it’s just a process that we have to wait for. To be called and then we can leave. You are not going to be there for months, you are only there for days while the city finds a place for you.”
Yes, only a black curtain separates them from travelers.
One migrant described the conditions as inhumane with “many children sick to their stomachs and other things because the food they are being given is not adequate food.”

>> One migrant described the conditions as inhumane with “many children sick to their stomachs and other things because the food they are being given is not adequate food.” <<
Wait, what?!?!?! They brought their kids along a trek of 100s if not thousands of miles and they are now saying the food they are being *given* is making their children sick?
How were those children along those many, many miles?
“Nobody knows where the money is going, or what it’s being spent on.”
That’s the whole point.

“The democrat party and all its voters are the enemy, folks, not so much the russians or chinese.”
Yep, we can deal with foreign enemies handily if we want, it’s the domestic enemies causing the trouble.
