Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has sparked controversy due to a program designed to bus asylum-seekers to northern "sanctuary cities," and on Wednesday he said one of those transports arrived in the city of Chicago.
Abbott’s office announced that the asylum-seekers were dropped off at Chicago’s Union Station, saying that Chicago will join Washington, D.C. and New York as a location for his administration’s “drop off policy.”
“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans – and Americans – at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Abbott said in a statement.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says her administration was aware of the plan, and that they are working to find shelter and other services for individuals bussed to the city. An estimated 60 asylum-seekers were transported to the city, according to Lightfoot's office.

What a dolt. Leaving them in Texas is NOT racist. Taking them to Chicago IS racist.
These idiots are always short of critical thinking ability. Or any simple thinking ability.

Barely a drop in the bucket, but still needs to be done by Abbott. That said, I’m shocked the Feds and Biden haven’t stepped in to prevent Abbott from doing this.

Well, Chicago says it’s a sanctuary city. Let it put its money where its mouth is. And it’s nice this time of year in some neighborhoods.

Maybe Gov Abbott could charter a train and call it Freedom Train 2022.
