Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, a Republican, told Fox News that the migrants are being used as "political pawns" by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker.
"As is my understanding, this hotel, about a year ago, when refugees came in from Afghanistan, apparently accepted several either through faith-based or charitable organizations, but now the state assumes they can just send migrants… this isn’t about them, the migrants is fine, they’re being used as political pawns by the governor and mayor," Grasso said.
Grasso also said it's hypocritical for Lightfoot to be complaining about Texas Governor Greg Abbott sending migrants to Chicago, then turning around and "sending [the migrants] out to the" suburbs.
...it is hypocrisy by the mayor of Chicago to complain about the governor of Texas – I do agree with what he’s doing – the city of Chicago says it’s going to be a sanctuary city which I oppose – but there must be vacant hotel rooms in Chicago. This is hundreds of people in a city of millions. Why are they sending them out to the Republican suburbs? You have to wonder," Grasso said.
He said that just because the specific Hampton Inn was used to previously house refugees from Afghanistan "does not give carte blanche to the governor or the mayor to send a couple of bus loads of migrants to our village without telling us."
"The border situation on the southern border is a totally different situation than Afghan refugees. It’s total arrogance for the state to assume they can send migrants to the suburbs around Chicago," Grasso said.

These illegal immigrant criminals are being used as weapons of war just like they are with the african invasion of europe.

It’s all about the dismantling of the USA . . . in preparation for the NWO and then the Tribulation. The question everyone must ask themselves . . . “is Jesus truly Lord of my life?”

Good. Let her send them to the suburbs. Maybe those suburban dim voters will finally wakeup.
She has appropriated my culture.
That teacup and saucer, those clothes, that furniture.
She needs to stop.
bring back chain gangs for these invaders or drop them off at Admiral Akbar’s front door.
I think we can all agree that America died in 2008.
The mug only another lesbian could love.
I've heard her referred to as "Mayor Beetlejuice."
My favorite is “First Amphibian-American’ mayor of a large city.
They aren’t “migrants”.
They’re illegal aliens.
Wouldn’t that make Darkfoot racist? She does not Hispanic people in Chicago!
