Democrat Lori Lightfoot: ‘Immoral, Unpatriotic’ to Bus Migrants to Chicago
Breitbart ^ | 6 Sep 2022 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 09/06/2022 3:35:22 PM PDT by conservative98

Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) now says it is “immoral” and “unpatriotic” for Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to bus migrants from Texas to the sanctuary city.

Last week, Abbott started busing border crossers to the sanctuary city of Chicago after sending thousands over the last few months to the sanctuary cities of New York City, New York, and Washington, D.C.

Initially, Lightfoot balked at the migrant buses by calling them “racist and xenophobic.” While visiting a shelter last week, Lightfoot called Abbott’s buses “immoral, unpatriotic” and claimed the operation “defies the values of who we are as Americans.”

“We received families, single men, a mix of folks from Latin America bused here inhumanly from Texas … we can disagree on policy and politics, but you don’t treat people this way,” Lightfoot told the Chicago Tribune.

After having received just 125 border crossers on buses from Texas, Lightfoot’s office launched a website pleading with Chicago residents to donate gift cards, clothing, baby formula, and other necessities to the new arrivals.

Democrat Lori Lightfoot: ‘Immoral, Unpatriotic’ to Bus Migrants to Chicago

Given the nature of Chicago, if those migrants weren't issued firearms when they got on the bus, I'd say she has a point.

But the wide-open border is “moral” and “patriotic,” right Gollum?

Time to step it up, and by a lot. They need 50 buses a DAY to all these sanctuary cities

These people are a walking contradiction. She and her political allies have enacted policies to encourage this kind of behavior. *They* are using these people.

How is it immoral to bus “migrants” to Chicago when they volunteer to get on the bus?

They are simply migrating from Texas to Chicago.

Lightfoot is obviously anti-migrant.

Time for Lori to start paying her fair share of the boarder crisis.

“immoral” and “unpatriotic”???

Excuse me Lori, but your yardstick for both subjects has been broken for decades.

You see dear, God fearing Americans use the Bible and the Constitution as reference for making such assessments.

You have admittedly abandoned both, so pardon me for being unmoved by your whining.

Fifty years ago it would have been unthinkable for Chicago to ever have elected a mayor like this one. All the wrong boxes checked. Hell, they aren’t even boxes, they’re trapezoids. What kind of people vote this way?

I suppose that she might have a point that sending people to Chicago is inhumane, but she could address that and make it humane for all the illegals she made Chicago a sanctuary city for.

She pivots aaaaand...falls flat on her face.
...bused here inhumanly from Texas

Oh, tell us more! Were they chained up? Were they forced to ride on the roof of the bus? Did they NOT have AC on the bus?! /sarcasm

Abbott is just helping Chicago repopulate after each murderous week.

Folks it truly amazes me that Abbot is pulling this off. With the fbi etc being what they are I’m surprised the bussing wasn’t flat out stopped. Any insight as to how we’re getting away with this? Surely a leftist judge wants to stop it somewhere.

What would she know about morality and patriotism? She’s as immoral as the devil and as unpatriotic as they come.

In adult world, it’s ‘Immoral, Unpatriotic’ to be for something as long as it doesn’t happen to you.

Oh, Lori, Gov Abbott is just sharing the benefits of being flooded with illegals. You dems are always so concerned with ‘fair share’ so Abbott is allowing you to have a ‘fair share’ of illegals. He is actually being generous — with you getting your ‘fair share’.
