CHICAGO, Ill. — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued a State of Emergency declaration on Tuesday due to a surge in immigrants arriving in Chicago from Texas. According to the mayor’s office, the situation amounts to a “national humanitarian crisis” that is “exceeding the City’s ability to manage” the influx of over 8,000 migrants who have arrived since last August. “Chicago is doing everything it can to respond to the urgency of this matter. The City has continued to call on federal and state governments to support the new arrival mission with much-needed additional funding and resources for emergency shelter and

Comments:

As usual there are no calls to shut down the flood of illegal immigrants into the country. She just don't want them in her own backyard.

NIMBY is always the call when liberals are forced to practice what they preach! Chicago is a “sanctuary” city is it not? Okay Lightfoot and Chicago, live with the fruit of your heart and minds! Note: Interesting to see that they mention the flood of illegals from Texas and not Mexico.. Just sayin’!

8000 in 10 months brings Chicago to it's knees? What about the states, counties, even small towns that have to deal with that number EVERY>>>>SINGLE>>>>WEEK. Areas that VOTED to end it, but who's votes were overridden by people like Lightfoot, and her voters? They asked for it, they DEMANDED it....they should get IT, good and hard.

Lori Lightfoot should call her friend , Kammie Harris, who is in charge of The Border, the Czar I believe, and ask for advice concerning this emerging concern.

Another interesting read. In my state, we have a few cities that had to virtual signal their wokeness. They declared their cities sanctuary cities. Des Moines and Iowa City are two that come to mind. Lucky for them, Iowa has a governor with a brain. She declared that Iowa was not going to accept any illegals. Strangely, DM and IC never made a stink about it. They appear to support the governor’s position on it. LOL !!

She's still there? I thought she wasn't re-elected although the "new" mayor doesn't seem much better. All hot air to continue their Reign of Terror on Chicago and any citizen trying to live a good life there. Lightfoot will probably get some position with Biden's administration as she certainly fits a category there along with the rest of the unqualified human mutants.

CONEY ISLAND, Brooklyn -- Three more buses carrying asylum seekers arrived at Port Authority on Saturday morning as backlash continues against New York City's plans on where to house the migrants.

President Biden remained mum on Friday as chaos continues unfolding at the southern border following the expiration of Title 42. Title 42, the Trump-era policy that was implemented during the COVID pandemic that deterred border crossings due to health concerns, lapsed overnight, prompting thousands of migrants to come to the US-Mexico border hoping to gain entry. Press were allowed in the Oval Office for Biden's bilateral meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez Friday, but White House staff pushed reporters out of the room as they shouted questions to the president.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams referred to Rockland County Executive Ed Day as racist and antisemitic Thursday, comparing him to Texas Gov.

It’s time for gay and bisexual men to pay attention to mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, again. That’s the message from public health authorities and LGBT health providers as cases rise in some countries and small clusters of infections in vaccinated people have been detected in Chicago and France. The World Health Organization on May 11 said mpox no longer presents a public health emergency of international concern because global cases have declined and countries are better equipped to respond, but that doesn’t mean the threat is eliminated. Last year’s mpox outbreak started in the spring, driven in part by

You can have all the facts on your side and still lose an argument. How? Because the other side is not bound by facts, they’re arguing emotion, and emotion always overrides facts. It sounds stupid, it is stupid, but it’s also true. Think about the things you’ve apologized for in your life – I’d give you odds it was for things you said in the heat of the moment, not after thinking about the situation in a cool, rational way. That emotion factor is a big part of why Republicans always seem to get rolled when it comes to policy debates, but it’s not the only reason.

A man is a woman simply because he says so in their “reality.” In that world, there is no inflation or disaster at the border. The border is “secure” and Joe Biden has built the strongest economy in years. Just ignore the fact that inflation is costing us hundreds more dollars a month under Joe.This is why his approval rating is in the toilet. Most people live in reality even if Biden’s adherents don’t.
