CHICAGO (CBS) – In the past nearly year-and-a-half, Chicago has spent nearly $300 million responding to the ongoing migrant crisis, according to the city's latest numbers.
That number does not include the cost incurred by other agencies like Chicago Public Schools, the Department of Streets and Sanitation, or Cook County Health.
About $206 million of the total has gone to Favorite Healthcare Staffing to operate the city-run shelters. The group has come under scrutiny by some aldermen who have said the city was paying them too much.

"That number does not include the cost incurred by other agencies like Chicago Public Schools, the Department of Streets and Sanitation, or Cook County Health."
So that means it's over a billion...🙄

Can’t blame the illegals, can you?
America’s the land of bloated government, massive government debt and dumbass leftists ready to spend.
Like Willie Sutton said - they’re just going where the money is.

So with that much money spent, can we safely assume they solved their problem?

Yes, you can.
They know they are doing it illegally.
I don’t blame people for wanting to come here. The blame is for not doing it legally and the rest of the blame is for the government enablers whoa re trying to destroy our country.

That’s potentially 300 million less than Texas would have had to spend.

Not a snow ball’s chance. They need a billion more. Governor JB Pritzker just proposed $1.1 billion in NEW taxes in his budget address to pay for nearly $1 billion in programs and services for migrants and illegal immigrants.
(The rest? 10% for the BIG GUY)

He might have to wait till after the election when he will have more flexibility. bailing out failing blue cities won’t go over well with voters against illegal immigration.
