Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to not follow through with his "inhuman and dangerous" plan to send more migrants and asylum seekers from his southern state to her city. The outgoing Chicago mayor made her appeal to the Republican governor in a letter Sunday, stating that they are aware Texas is planning as soon as Monday to start sending migrants to Democrat-led cities including Chicago. (Snip) "We simply have no more shelters, spaces or resources to accommodate an increase of individuals at this level, with little coordination or care, that does not pose a risk

Chicago mayor should contact Biden and tell him to secure the border.
As for Texas, keep sending them to Chicago, CA and NYC!

It is only fair that the so called sanctuary democratic cities sponsor more then their share of illegal aliens. This is what they've created, this is what they've pushed on the rest of the nation, let them pay the price for their folly and stupidity.

Send them to DELAWARE - let them set up camp next to the idiot's house.
Send them to Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Chestertown, Frederick, Hyattsville, Potomac, Rockville & Silver Spring, MD. Also send them to Alexandria, Arlington, Chesapeake, Harpers Ferry, Middleburg, & Reston VA.
Why all these locations? THESE are some of the wealthiest areas in the country THANKS to the fact they are heavily populated by government employees who get rich of WE THE PEOPLE consistently vote dem!

We're a sanctuary city! We believe in equity! We believe in racial justice! We're caring and loving people!
But don't dare send any of those creepy illegal immigrants here!

Maybe Mayor Beetlejuice is right. Chicago is much too violent of a city for these illegals. Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware would be better choices.

It's tempting to just send them to whatever leftist utopian city around the country. The only problem is the illegals can move about the country at will thereafter, and it's still an invasion.

I'd agree with Lightfoot if Abbott was sending busloads of poor Texans but he isn't, he's sending Joe Biden's illegal immigrants who have been invited to Chicago, NYC and other 'sanctuary cities' by leftist mayors.

Illegal aliens, NOT "migrants".
And have a talk with Traitor Joe about building the Wall.

"Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to not follow through with his "inhuman and dangerous" plan to send more migrants and asylum seekers from his southern state to her city"
Don't just send them to Chicago randomly.
Send them directly to:
Pueblo Sin Fronteras
2242 S Damen Ave,
Chicago, IL,
Centro de Trabajadores Unidos: United Workers' Center
10638 S. Ewing Ave.,
Chicago, IL 60617
And:
Instituto del Progreso Latin
2520 S. Western Ave.,
Chicago, IL 60608
Chicago is actually a hotbed of immigration law scofflaws...
And they are very proud of it.

Why is Lightfoot still babbling and what happened to the new black savior of Chicago? You know, the teachers' union organizer who is in charge of teachers in the totally failed Chicago public school system and the city council member who ensures that the democrat machine keeps getting its wheels greased.

So, you're no longer a welcoming City?
Don't you need hundreds of thousands to replace those who've moved away in the past 2-3 years?

When the border is opened up even wider in a few days, we need all the ranchers in Texas, maybe Arizona too, to load up their cattle trailers with illegals and haul them to the Democrat cites that love them so much.
Let's see, they can stand just like a cow does, so 4 square feet per person? A 20" trailer by 6" wide inside = 30 invaders on a 20" farm trailer. Just imagine how many we could haul on 18 wheel cattle haulers. Washington DC, New York, and Chicago along with Seattle and others will be full in no time.
Oh well. Each of us has at least one fantasy.

The more these so called sanctuary cities complain, the more illegals they should be sent until they demand that the border be closed.

The Democrats are planning to hold their convention there.
And they're a sanctuary city, so what could be more appropriate?

Sorry Chicago.
Thanks to Democrat policy, there are thousands of migrants lined up at the border.
They have to go somewhere.
Human trafficking is not a policy, it's a crime.
And it's all on the Democrats and all other open border advocates.

Spread the love or send them back. Its not fair that only a few of 50 states should have to cope with the result of Federal mismanagement.

Re: #7 - Respectfully disagree with including Harpers Ferry, WV in your otherwise well thought out list. It is not a bastion of progressive wealth; its charm is its historic simplicity and natural beauty of the Shenandoah dumping into the Potomac amidst the surrounding mountains. Pictures taken of the town today are not dissimilar to pictures taken during the Civil War.

Hey Chit-Congo!
Why are YOU complaining?
YOU got what you wanted.
YOU voted for The HairSniffer, who opened the Borders.
YOU voted to become a 'Sanctuary City'.
YOU were so PROUD to Embrace the Left.
YOU made your Bed.
Now it's time for
YOU to lie down in it!

Who is going to listen to her? In any case, Texas has no room for them either. Send them to Bidenville.
