As if Chicago, a city already circling the drain, could afford to feed, house, educate and care for them entirely on the taxpayer's dime. And Gov. Prtizker also threw out the welcome mat--no problem--because the state, flush with pandemic "emergency" cash can afford anything and everything.
A Lightfoot spokesman said the city "will respond with essential services while these individuals navigate the next steps of their journey and our community partners have been working diligently to provide a safety net.” Lightfoot added that it's a problem created by "the prior administration."
A Pritzker spokesperson promised "health care screenings, the offer of COVID-19 vaccines and emergency housing, along with additional legal resettlement assistance.”
Naturally, Chicago is a "sanctuary city" so to be consistent, Lightfoot had no choice but to be welcoming. Her response is distinctly different than mayors of Washington D.C and New York, who squealed about how unfair it was to drop this problem on their doorsteps.
A response:
1. The problem wasn't created by the "prior administration." Only someone so blinded by ideology or partisanship can fail to recognize the million-yes more than a million--illegal immigrants have "walked" across the southern border. The daily coverage of the hundreds and thousands of people wading across the Rio Grande River and walking into America is documented by Fox News. Of course, you can't believe anything Fox News reports. They've paid all those people every day to stage a walk on.
2. The burdens being imposed on northern, Democratic sanctuary cities is nothing compared to what border cities, states and towns must pay. No southern, red state escapes the arriving buses and charter flights arriving in the dark of night.
Of course, Lightfoot has nothing to say about the deadly Fentanyl from China being smuggled across the border by the Mexican drug cartels and the number of Chicagoans are killed. Not that the city is counting.
The hundreds, if not the thousands, of illegal immigrants have drowned, died of thirst in the desert, raped, sex trafficked and traumatized children have been the direct result of the Biden administration.Yet the administration claims that the border is "closed."
President Joe Biden and his administration are stupid enough to believe that Americans are stupid enough to accept apolicy that ignores the onslaught on the southern border.
Meanwhile, as the New York Times reported: "Nine migrants drown as dozens are set down Rio Grande: A large group attempting to cross into Texas was overcome by a fast-moving current, the authorities said."
