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.

There is one quick fix tell these dumb @$$es in the District of Corruption to close the border. What is so difficult to understand? Or is there something I am missing?

She just wants more “resources “ to care for the poor wandering souls.

Seems most likely. However, unless the emergency is limited to Illinois financial capabilities then taxpayers like us, who have no say in the matter, will pick up the tab for the communist agenda. It is part of Obama's "remaking of America".

Ya ain’t seen nothin’ yet; One more day before Title 42 expires. There are about a million invaders poised to rush across the southern border by the end of the week.

Biden has the military deployed not to stop them, but to feed them, sign them up for the free stuff, and transport them throughout the country.

You are right, Brandon Johnson takes over May 15th. He is not an improvement.
