Pritzker calls up Guard to help care for arriving migrants

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday called up 75 members of the Illinois National Guard to help organize shelter, food and medical care for migrants arriving by bus from Texas.

The Democratic governor signed an emergency declaration to speed up procurement of necessary supplies as well as seek National Guard help with logistics.

Pritzker said buses arrive with little advance notice and that attempts to communicate with Texas colleagues go unheeded, which Pritzker says Abbott ordered.

“To Gov. Greg Abbott: Now is the time to stop trying to sow the seeds of chaos, to put aside politics and focus on human rights, communicate with us, have your state agencies call us back,” Pritzker said at a Chicago news conference. “Spare us the unnecessary drama and let us go about the work to resettle these asylum seekers.”

Abbott’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

“We are now 11 buses deep, and we know from speaking with our counterparts in New York and D.C., this will not relent,” said Grace Hou, secretary of Human Services.

“This is about politics for him without regard to the fear and anguish and the challenges that it poses for these refugees,” Pritzker said.

Very good.

Kick it into high gear, Gov. Abbott.

So will the Illinois National Guard transport the military aged men from the bus stop to the local MS13/gang safe house? Will they also be used to deliver trafficked humans to their ultimate slave masters?

Gov Pritzker has a ton of $$. He could keep a few thousand on his properties. Rich paying their fair share and all that.

They are squealing and whining after receiving only a small percentage of the hordes that are inundating border states. Ironically, it is all a direct result of Team Biden's attempt to Remake America.

His properties are in Wisconsin and Florida.

May they feel the pain more than anyone else.

Pretty much every small town in Texas has over 11 bus loads.

These hypocrite mayors have no sense how foolish they look. They blame Abbott when the Feds are at fault.

To Lardbutt Pritzker: take it up with “No Borders” Biden.

We don’t have much MS13 in Illinois. Our own native-grown latino gangs have already staked out the territory.

The Leftists had more than enough chances since Trump ran for office to stop the illegals (not undocumented, illegals) with a border wall and heavy reinforcements of border guards with stronger support for getting tough.

No dice.

So no sympathy.

To Pritzker’s slanderous words: “Now is the time to stop trying to sow the seeds of chaos”

(Then keep building the wall!)

“to put aside politics”

(Oh...and this statement that you are making should not be uttered then...since it is purely political)

“and focus on human rights”
(That is what the brilliant Gov. Abbott is doing...focusing on the human rights of his Texas communities who want to abide by America’s laws, keep America safe, and demand anyone coming into America come here legally)

“communicate with us” (When was the last time anyone can tell me when a Democrat ever listened to common sense?)

” have your state agencies call us back,”

(Gov. Abbott should not have to have illegal people breaking the law coming into his state. He is ruling his state with order and the laws of America and he should absolutely continue deporting illegals out of his amazing state. America should also recall every governor ignoring America’s laws.

“Spare us the unnecessary drama and let us go about the work to resettle these asylum seekers.” (The democrats are all about drama...Lie, lie, then deny....That is the communistic way. Get a life, get a clue, and get out of office. Tell your unelected, unelectable fake president to do something about our borders, demand that he finish the wall, that our elected president started.)

Abbott’s office did not respond to a request for comment. (And if he did...what would you say? That you were finally going to rebuild the wall and keep out illegals to keep America safe again?)

“We are now 11 buses deep, and we know from speaking with our counterparts in New York and D.C., this will not relent,” said Grace Hou, secretary of Human Services.
(So you want those 11 buses deep to stay in the state of Texas where all those Texans voted for Gov. Abbott to do his job and keep them safe and keep America Great!). We are not against legal immigration. Most Americans have family who immigrated here at one point or another and we want it done ONLY LEGALLY. If you don’t want to obey our laws, you have no business being a governor of any state in this great nation.

“This is about politics for him without regard to the fear and anguish and the challenges that it poses for these refugees,” Pritzker said.
(The only politics going on here is what the democrats are spewing. And all of us patriots want to live in states where we will be safe. These “refugees” as you call them is a political term for someone who has broken America’s laws. They can get in line, wait their turn, and come here legally. Democrats are rule breakers, liers, cheaters, stealers. You want them here illegally so they can steal another election....sounds pretty political to me.)

RE: “care for” the illegals?

Already some went to hospitals when Covid restrictions caused firings of medical staffs.

Now they are to be compassionate social workers? For guys with tattoos on their necks and faces who are used to beheading people who snitch on them?

Yet another impossible role for the National Guard.

Next: rounding up and forcing patriots into semis headed for gulags in the country areas outside all cities.

In Nicholas and Alexandra the soldiers on horseback intimidating the townspeople looked at their faces. One drew out his sword but turned to slash a bag of grain open so they could eat, and they left.

Will we Deplorables be that lucky?
