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.

For Abbott, shipping New Democrat voters around the country is easier than stopping them at the border. How is this helping the country?

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism(or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans as stupid, but do NOT discuss it further.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, deploy violence.

Is that because they will take welfare away from the black folks there?

“32.0% of Black residents of Chicago, Illinois live below the poverty line.”

And yet elections after election they keep the Democrats in power.

I wish Abbott would send them to California to balance out the flood of CA refugees that are coming here.
