Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson claims he 'inherited' the city's spiraling migrant crisis and lashed out at Lori Lightfoot's former administration.
Johnson criticized Lightfoot's administration at a press conference on Tuesday held to announce the Unity initiative, an interfaith partnership aimed at bringing sleeping migrants out of police stations and into shelters.
Johnson told reporters that 'the international crisis that I inherited six months ago, I've made it very clear we are going to move people out of police districts, women and children who are living on floors and sleeping outside that we're going to create spaces that provide more dignity.'
Windy City has come under strain after the city was inundated by 20,000 migrants over the last 14 months, triggering a crisis. Many were bused north from the southern border, which has been overwhelmed by migrants crossing from Mexico.
In Chicago, thousands of asylum seekers are staying at police stations and airports as the local government has run out of space to house them.

He’s half right, I guess. Meanwhile, he’s no different than Beetlejuice.
Send them 1000 more buses of illegals
So in other words - he’s a failed blaming stupid libtard too
'What we've seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism,' the woke Mayor said. 'Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities and quite frankly and they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.'
'There intention is to create division and chaos because that is what that particular political party has been about.
How, exactly, has the "right wing" been "been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color"?
If anything we completely avoid cities if we possibly can.
Being a Democrat means nothing is ever your fault.
The “migrants” are not the problem.
The illegal invaders are the problem.
Put Lightfoot and Johnson in a huge blender. Even then one couldn’t find any difference with their DNA. It is unfortunate that Illinois is run by liberal Chicagoans. Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis, Oakland, Jackson, Atlanta, Charlotte, Gary, Philadelphia, Baltimore and D.C. are all cesspools run by liberal left leaning unlawful whiny Democrats and their constituents show it.
LOL - “right wing extremists.”
Must be the same two guys who attacked Jussi Smollett

"Aint my fault."
Johnson has practically double-downed on his predecessor’s policies. If he wants to complain and blame, he can look in the mirror.
Abbott, I think he needs a few more bus loads.
Just raise taxes on EVERY THING!
I’m sure the same roving band of trouble making right wing extremists who roughed up Jussie Smollet were the same guys who totally caused all the crime, looting, violence, poor education, decaying cities and other blight across shitcago
RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS!! LOL!
What does that even mean? He sounds illiterate.
Liberal Democrats have RUINED everything they touch.
Is no my fault is what it means, he was just Born Stupid.
If he inherited the problem, that means it was there when he ran for the office, and knew it needed to be fixed. If it still exists, it’s because he doesn’t know how to fix it.
