Chicago spent nearly $1million to build a migrant camp on a toxic site, as the city continues to struggle with a massive surge of asylum seekers, with officials now impounding incoming buses.
Official records seen by ABC 7 show the city spent more than $985,000 on the shuttered migrant camp at a Brighton Park lot - despite warnings that the site was not safe and outrage by locals, including a lawsuit.
The nearly $1million bill is not much compared to the total expected cost of the camp, which was mostly financed by the state government under a $125million contract with a private contractor.
The state put up $65 million for the tent camp and for permanent structures at a site in the Little Village neighborhood. Together, they would house 2,200 migrants.
But the state stepped in on December 5, putting an end to the controversial project over environmental concerns at the former industrial site.

Prepay some local hotel rooms for a day or two?
Send them by train and see if Chicago will impound trains.
Yup.
Bus then to the South Shore Line light rail terminal in Gary, IN and give each of them a $7 ticket to Millennium Station in downtown Chicago.
Where there’s a wheel, there’s a way. ;-)
Yep. Head 'em up, move 'em on. Move 'em on, head 'em up. Rawhide!
Texas and bordering states have been dealing with a war zone ever since Biden.barry opened the border. Main stream media don’t show the masses.. The pictures nor a story on the border crisis. People don’t know till it hits their living space. The Buses had to go to the other cities to put pressure on security at the border. Your government is destroying America.. You just don’t know it yet. Get a few more buses to your city and you’ll scream loud enough to get something done.
This is committing treason by the government. Putting all of us in harms way.
What song is that?

They should have done this bussing to sanctuary cities a lot sooner. Seems to be effective.
The phrase "he'll never return and his fate is still" is a line from the song "MTA" by the Kingston Trio. The song is about a man named Charlie who is stranded on a train because he doesn't have enough money to pay the exit fare. The song's chorus asks "Did he ever return? No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned".
We don’t need no stinkin’ laws.
Give them 5K cash a a ticket to anywhere. Look at the savings!
Only 11 million!
We dont need nosteenkin' fence; either!
IMPOUND buses bringing migrants to the city from Texas, on what grounds?
This is a story song about a man named Charlie, who finds himself trapped on the Boston subway system, known at the time as the M.T.A. The song was originally recorded as a mayoral campaign song for Progressive Party candidate Walter A. O'Brien Jr. The song has become so entrenched in Boston folklore that the Boston-area transit authority named its electronic card-based fare collection system the “CharlieCard” as a tribute.
