Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Declares Emergency as City Hits ‘Breaking Point’ from Illegal Immigration
Breitbart ^ | 05/09/2023 | John Binder

Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) has declared a state of emergency for the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, stating that the city has hit a “breaking point” and is “full” due to illegal immigration flows arriving from the United States-Mexico border.

Since August 2022, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has bused more than 8,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to Chicago to help save his state’s taxpayers billions in social and economic costs associated with illegal immigration.

But Chicago brags its a Sanctuary City? A few busloads of illegals and they breaks this democrat utopian megalopolis?

I wonder if Lori ever thought if a few busloads can sink Chicago, how she’s been indifferent when Texas, Arizona and New Mexico demand fedgov enforce the border and turn illegals back. Oh she was FOR the invaders being let in and destroying those places, yes, that’s right.

Do these emergency powers enable law enforcement to go after gangbangers?

Abbot has sent 8000 of these creatures to Chicago while the feds have shipped in multiple of that on airplanes at lesser airports and turned them loose in the city. I guess the difference is that Chicago an allow 20-30,000 just disappear into the city while they feel obligated to “deal with” the ones Abbot sends.

Now’s the time for Abbott and Desantis to pour it on—put a ‘Vote Blue’ bumper sticker on them buses and keep ‘em rolling 24/7, alternating deliveries between Chicago and New York.
