Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has sparked controversy due to a program designed to bus asylum-seekers to northern "sanctuary cities," and on Wednesday he said one of those transports arrived in the city of Chicago.
Abbott’s office announced that the asylum-seekers were dropped off at Chicago’s Union Station, saying that Chicago will join Washington, D.C. and New York as a location for his administration’s “drop off policy.”
“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans – and Americans – at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Abbott said in a statement.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says her administration was aware of the plan, and that they are working to find shelter and other services for individuals bussed to the city. An estimated 60 asylum-seekers were transported to the city, according to Lightfoot's office.

Those illegals won’t last long in Chicago.
They’ll be ‘victimized’ on the weekends, just like those 8-10 dead Chicago youths who take each other out on a weekly basis. And Abbott will get the blame for sending them there.

I believe Gov J. B. Porkchop has an empty house right next to his Gold Coast mansion. A couple of Porta Potties and he’s in business.

I am not a big Abbott fan but this is pretty good.
They already tried: The illegals boarded and remained on the bus for the entire trip willingly.

That should be fun to watch. A which-is-worst contest. Shootouts in the park.
Abbot won’t mind being blamed.
No, no. New Orleans is too close to Texas. They need to be way up north.

Based on the weekly trips to Chicago the coyotes made, stopping overnight in our neighborhood, I would say that most of these “refugees” have relatives in Chicago.
Why is that every attempt to turn America’s big cities from white to black, then to brown, is now suddenly racist?
We know that nothing is Mayor Groot’s fault, but she led the parade to be a sanctuary city.
