The arctic blast that has sent temperatures plunging across the country is threatening the safety of thousands of migrants who have been transported from the U.S. border to places like New York, Chicago and Denver, officials in those cities say.
Chicago
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced last week that he temporarily suspended the city’s 60-day limit on shelter stays for asylum seekers sent to the Windy City on buses paid for by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott due to dangerous subzero wind chills and near-blizzard conditions.
“We’re not evicting new arrivals out into the cold,” Johnson said Friday.
Approximately 650 migrants were set to be evicted on Tuesday, according to city officials. More than 14,000 are currently living in 28 city shelters. Since 2022, Abbott has sent tens of thousands of asylum seekers to Democratic-led cities like Chicago in an effort to divide voters and damage President Biden’s chances for reelection.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker sent a letter to Abbott pleading with him to stop sending migrants to Chicago during the dead of winter.
“The next few days are a threat to the families and children you are sending here,” Pritzker wrote.
“We refuse to play your political game of exploiting the most vulnerable for the sake of culture wars and talking points,” the governor added. “You seem to have no interest in working on bipartisan solutions to the border crisis because that would put an end to your cruel political game, but I am writing to you today hoping to appeal to your humanity.” Denver

Oh dear, the “migrants.”
Motel 6 to the rescue!
They’ll be easier to stack when they get sent home
All they have to do is go home to their own countries. I do not feel a bit sorry for them.
Hey! Pritzker! Texans first!
Americans first.
The would rather they freeze to death in San Antonio?
All of a sudden I have a burst of concern about that Global Warming. I sure hope temperatures stay low.
“You seem to have no interest in working on bipartisan solutions to the border crisis...”
The only “border crisis” is that Democrats refuse to close the border. Forcing Democrats to live with the “migrants” they claim to welcome IS the bipartisan solution to that.
It wouldn’t threaten them if they were back where they belonged.
Arctic blast threatens migrants in New York, Chicago and Denver

Big deal. This Arctic blast also threatened Eagle Pass also as temps went below freezing this week.
The weather is nice and warm in most of the places they “migrated” from...
No, no. Illegals in San Antonio have a nice 18 wheeler trailer to stay warm in.
Sometimes they even stay too warm.
Migrant Tragedy in San Antonio
The Texas Tribune
https://www.texastribune.org › series › migrant-traged...
Fifty-three people died after being trapped in a sweltering tractor-trailer found near Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio in late June 2022.
Good. Maybe they’ll think the U.S. is too cold and go back to whatever third world country they came from.
Lol....Good one.
Get them the hell out of our country.
In 20 years all their children, AT LEAST, will be voting.
And drawing welfare too.
Are we to presume the arctic blast won’t impact US citizens.
