Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) had herself a fit Sunday when talking to reporters about the buses of illegal immigrants coming from Texas after another bus was received on Sunday.
Lightfoot says her frustration with the situation comes from how it is being handled by Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). Lightfoot told reporters, “My frustration comes from the actions of the governor of Texas. There could be a level of coordination and cooperation, but he chooses to do none of those things. Instead, he chooses to send human beings across the country to an uncertain destination. That’s unacceptable.”
Her accusation of an uncertain destination is somewhat similar to the claim of New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams. Adams, whose city is also receiving buses from Texas with illegal immigrants, has claimed those individuals were forced on a bus to New York City. This is something the Texas governor and those handling the bussing situation in Texas have disputed.
The individuals on the bus are given a waiver in multiple languages to sign that they acknowledge they are getting on a bus to said destination. The buses are stocked with water and food for the travel to their final destination.
Abbott has also bussed illegal immigrants to Washington D.C. as well. The three cities are all Democrat controlled and run. They are also all sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.
While chagrining the way in which the illegals are arriving in her city, Lightfoot has stated they will continue to provide services for these individuals. She announced they had set up a website for donations to help the illegal immigrants who are arriving in Chicago.
Her reluctance to do anything about the violence epidemic in the city, but to be on top of the arrival of buses of illegals has brought forth some ire from those living in the city.
Alderman Raymond Lopez shared the news of Lightfoot’s new site to support the illegal and captioned it, “And the victims of Chicago gang violence get [image of three crickets]”

Lightfoot continues to ignore the out-of-control violence in her city. While murders are down in 2022 from 2021 they are still tragically at 444 as of August 28th.
Governor Abbott is sending the buses, targeted at Democrat ran cities, trying to get the Biden administration to do something about the open border. The Biden administration has continually denied the border is open or that there is a seeming invasion in the eyes of many at our southern border.
According to FAIR, 4.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border since Biden took office, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down or stopping. To top it off, drug smuggling is also out of control at the southern border and beyond as well.
It seems if Abbott cannot get the attention of the Biden administration, he definitely has the attention of the mayors and quite possibly the citizens of those cities where the migrants are being dropped off.
They may have a better shot at getting the president’s ear on the issue, but for now, they seem to be targeting Abbott himself. You would think the Democrat cities would take an unlimited amount of immigrants with no complaints. They don’t appear completely able to put their money where their mouths are, however.
