Hot Take: Illinois Governor Signs Disaster Declaration Over Bused Illegals

He didn’t seem particularly concerned enough over blacks shooting each other in the streets of Chicago, nor all the crime in the city, but, a few illegals shipped to Chicago? Well

Governor signs disaster declaration, calls up National Guard to assist with migrants bused from Texas

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is signing a disaster proclamation to secure resources for the asylum-seekers bused to Illinois from Texas and has deployed 75 National Guard members to assist with the logistics of receiving the migrants, he announced Wednesday.

Speaking at a news conference, Pritzker again criticized his Texas counterpart, Gov. Greg Abbott, for failing to coordinate or communicate with Illinois and Chicago officials and derided his actions as a “stunt.”

”I’m not going to mince words here: The governor of Texas is forcing on New York and (Washington) D.C. and Chicago and potentially other places a needlessly last minute and complex process that is a heartless display of politics over people,” Pritzker said. “Why not give reasonable notice? Why send these folks only to blue cities or blue states? Why isn’t Abbott sending refugees to Mississippi or Oklahoma or Idaho? This is about politics for him.”

The border towns do not really receive notice when the illegals stream in, right? Nor when the Biden admin forces Customs And Border Patrol to release the illegals and open the gates, right? Or, when the Biden admin flies illegals to small cities around the nation in the dead of night, right? Or when Chicago sent a bunch of those illegals to a small city outside Chicago, right?

Pritzker said the migrants are in the country legally as asylum-seekers and that many trekked for months to make it to the U.S. border to escape oppression and persecution. But upon arrival, Pritzker said, they were herded into buses and dumped in the “dead of night” at Chicago’s Union Station.

And almost none of them will qualify for asylum. Why should small towns in Texas and Arizona have to deal with these folks and not the cities that call themselves sanctuaries? Seems like these pro-illegal folks are pretty upset that they have to now deal with the consequences of their pro-illegal beliefs

Meanwhile, Pritzker said that the Illinois attorney general and Chicago city attorneys, among other agencies, are investigating whether there is “criminal liability” for Abbott’s actions.

Oh, is Abbott responsible for failing to secure the border? Isn’t that the job of the federal government, per the Constitution and federal law?

Lightfoot said since Aug. 31, when the first busload of asylum-seekers arrived, about 500 migrants have arrived in Chicago. She expects that number to grow.

Chicago has to deal with about 500, there’s been around 130,000 Venezuelans alone who’ve crossed the border this fiscal year. El Paso is dealing with around 1,000 migrants of all nationalities a day and hundreds of releases a day. That’s one city. Chicago can suck it.
