Arctic blast threatens migrants in New York, Chicago and Denver

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

I’ll be on my last few laps by then and my kids and step-kids all vote Democrats. Let them suffer in what they helped create.

Spray them with firehoses to urge them to move on. I don’t care if that’s dead or alive. They are criminal invaders.

How ironic...demoncrats invite people to become illegals and are welcome in their sanctuary cities and the illegals die because the Dems invited them..

OH MY!!!! perhaps they should all rush back to AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST, CHINA,CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA where it stays warmer in the winter.

Other wise my sentiments are: “FREEZE AND STARVE TO DEATH IN THE COLD AND THE DARK”!

There is absolutely no compassion in me for these CRIMINALS!!!!

I don’t understand the rationale of these people, unless they are being scammed? WHY the hell would you ever travel thousands of miles to come to one of the most expensive crappy cities on earth?

They all have cellphones, right? So aren’t they aware that when they get here there are no more shelters? There are no jobs especially now in farm work out on Long Island in the dead of winter? So wouldnt it make MORE sense to stay south where you won’t freeze to death on a NYC sidewalk?

I suspect these people are being lied to by the DemoMarxist/RINO uniparty.

I prefer the term “illegal aliens” After all the green cards used to start with an “A” for Alien. At least they did when I was a LEGAL alien.
