Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) said Wednesday “CNN This Morning” that the current migrant influx into his city was “not sustainable” without “significant federal support.”
Johnson said, “Since taking office a little bit over seven months ago, my administration has responded to this humanitarian mission with the full force of government. We have roughly 15,000 people living in shelters, temporary shelters here in Chicago, nearly 27 shelters. A total of 4500 children are in our Chicago public schools system, providing health care and also making sure that we are screening individuals as they come through the city of Chicago, providing, again, onsite vaccinations at all of our shelters.”

Socialism isn’t “sustainable” either.
The nitwit doesn’t even know how to use Chicago’s best resource for dealing with migrants, Chicago’s brutally miserable repulsive winters. All he needs to do is let them camp out for a while and offer them nice comfortable plane rides back home. Once a few of them freeze to death and others end up with icicles growing out of their noses and ears, they’ll happily take the free flight offer and he’ll and solve this problem at a very low price. As a former Chicago resident, I speak from personal experience about the winters.
And it’s not sustainable WITH significant governmental support.
Dear Uncle Sam,
Send me money. Lots of it. I spent the money you sent me earlier. Make it quick.
Mayor Johnson
Of all the crimes, this is the worst - destroying any chance American children who go to those schools of learning anything.

What Does It Mean That Chicago Is a Sanctuary City? Here’s What to Know By Heather Cherone | October 20, 2023.
Chicago has been a self-proclaimed sanctuary city for more than 38 years, with five mayors vowing to shield all immigrants in Chicago from federal agents, regardless of whether they are citizens, permanent residents or asylum seekers.
While Mayor Brandon Johnson says Chicago will remain a welcoming city for immigrants, those protections are nevertheless facing intense scrutiny as city officials struggle to house, feed and care for the more than 18,500 people who have made their way to Chicago from the southern border as of Oct. 19. Many reached Chicago on buses paid for by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as part of a concerted effort to damage President Joe Biden’s chances for reelection and divide Democratic voters.

Funny. Which is it? “Immigrants” are terrific folks who are welcome? Or so horrible and worthless that the dirty tricks of the GOP to hurt the Dems means sending the illegals to Chicago to divide the Dems?
Can’t be both.
Wait, Mayorkas has repeatedly testified that the border is secure.
And since 1985 Chicago has been a self-declared sanctuary city that prohibits law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities to harbor and protect illegal immigrants.
You don’t get federal dollars. You are a sanctuary city, and it is likely that any federal money would just end up in the teacher’s union pocket anyway.
Sucks to be you ... they are coming whether you whine about it being non sustainable or not. Slow Joe and his administration of traitors are making big bucks off of it and they are not going to share.
Chicago has plenty of room! 15,000 people in a population of 2.7 million is only about 0.5%. Keep those buses rollin’!
wondering if the voters understand what “sanctuary city” means to the taxpayer. oh yeah...forgot most went to public school. never mind.
Talk to the City Council who made you a sanctuary city. Biden is not going to bail you out, because he can’t. McCarthy was removed as Speaker of the House for the republican faction of the Uni-party. Oops. Stuff happens I guess.
Trying to get out front, just in case NYC gets money, they want to have their hands out too.
They just want more money. They don’t give a darn about the illegal invaders or citizens.
Hey Johnson, don’t provide them services they don’t work for and earn. Problem solved.
Federal funds with 10% off the top for the big guys (don’t think Biden’s the only big guy) there’s a lot of money to be made on this game
Sheesh, the Feds opened the border and then flew them to Chicago, how much more Fed help do you need?
So illegal immigration isn’t the problem. The problem is that sanctuary cities don’t have enough federal dough, courtesy of the taxpayers, many of whom don’t live in sanctuary cities and who oppose the insane and destructive open border policy of the federal government, and the virtue signaling of sanctuary cities.
Starve Brandon Johnson’s beast.
GFY Johnson. Just raise the taxes on those filthy Chicago democrats who voted for you.
Shintcago should start shipping these border jumpers to California where the weather is better.
