ELBURN, Ill. (WLS) -- With more than seven buses carrying migrants expected to arrive in Chicago Friday, Mayor Brandon Johnson joined other mayors to emphasize that cities are reaching a breaking point.
"Without a coordinated effort, this is going to crush local economies because there is a financial responsibility we have all taken on," he said.
Johnson told city council members the cost of migrant support is approaching $300 million this year. He plans to shift $95 million in federal COVID relief funds to cover some of the costs.
"At least that prevents us from having to dip into the budget and cut back on city services this year; next year is another matter," said Ald. Brian Hopkins.
Hopkins said if the crisis continues in 2024 without more federal support, cuts in city services are inevitable.
The migrant crisis is showing no signs of letting up. Friday morning, more migrants arrived at the city's landing zone in the South Loop.

They should only get 1 year of free stuff and then they’re on their own for the rest of their lives
like perpetual war in the Mid-East...the perpetual “illegal immigration crisis” is basically the foundations of a lucrative money laundry.
That 95 million has a good chunk of launder back to local officials, the legislators making the appropriation happen, and finally the NGO’s whose “job” it is to apply the funds to “fix” the problem
Laundromats have many different store fronts
That 95 million has a good chunk of that laundered back.....
Chicago has made no move to revoke its “sanctuary city” status. They still want you.

It sounds like Brandon is a crook intentionally breaking the law spending funds meant for the DemocRATS’ COVID Dempanic not to aid in the invasion of America by Lopez-Obrador and his Mexican drug cartels.
Woke progressives: Thank Gaia for printed fiat money and massive government debt it supports!
KARMA! The chickens have come home to roost. The Sanctuary Cities are reaping what they have sown.

I THOUGHT THAT UNUSED COVID FUNDS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RETURNED TO SENDER???????
COVID rising up again-—is he diverting funds he has no right to do???
I thought the House was going to recall or reclaim that huge Covid surplus sitting in several pots around government agencies, cities and States?????
“Without a coordinated effort, this is going to crush local economies because there is a financial responsibility we have all taken on,”
Good. This is what you voted for.
How do you think Chicago will vote in 2024?
If you said majority for the Democrats, move to the front of the class!

Don’t ask them “why not” - call them racists, bigots and cold hearted for turning away “migrants looking for a better life.”
Border states have a MUCH higher number of invaders, both in absolute numbers and in the percentage of population.
now there’s an idea
