Dear Governor Abbott

Send them to Springfield, Evanston, Highland Park, Normal, Carbondale, and just for laughs, East St Louis.

25 busloads arriving in Chicago every day? Sent by what entity? Is Chicago a “sanctuary” city? Winter’s coming - what then?

Cry me a river.

Here's an idea, tax the illegal aliens at $1000 per head per month. Deport those who don't pay up. Since when doesn't Pritzker like more taxes?

Good idea. But why Amtrak? Cattle cars are good enough.

Chicago's history as a self-proclaimed sanctuary city dates back to 1985, when then Mayor Harold Washington issued an executive order prohibiting city employees from enforcing federal immigration laws.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is stepping up criticism of the federal government’s response to the crisis,



No no no chicaga, it is CLEAR what the progs wanted.

Willman said. “Often when we think about sanctuary, it's very much about protecting against the federal government, against ICE and whatever iteration of that is in the years past.

If only they had supported President Trump and not repudiated everything he did on Day One of the Biden Regime.

If only...

And either a C17, C130, or C141 should be landing at O’Hare and Midway on the hour, every hour to plane loads can enjoy the hospitality of this Sanctuary State.
