Showing Original Post only (View all)Chicago mayor says Abbott causing 'chaos' by sending migrant buses [View all]
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) said Sunday that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was sowing seeds of chaos by sending buses of migrants to Chicago without prior warning and called for greater coordination between state and local officials.
In an interview on CBS Newss Face the Nation, Johnson confirmed the city of Chicago had seen the arrival of several buses of migrants in the past several nights and that yesterday, the City had even received an unexpected flight arriving in the city.
The governor of Texas, Governor Abbott, is determined to continue to sow seeds of chaos. And last night, and several nights before, a number of buses continued to arrive in the city of Chicago, throughout the country without any coordination, Johnson said. And now hes taken on this very dangerous task of placing individuals on airplanes and flying them into our various cities.
This is certainly a matter of, not just of our national security, but its the type of chaos that this governor is committed to administering, Johnson added.

The real "border crisis" that Fox News won't report is that we have a fucking cruel and inhumane psychopath in charge of the Lone Star State. What is he getting out of this? This isn't funny.

IIRC, the migrants have been lied to as to where they were going, and that they'd get work

And what do the conspiracy theorists and Fox News hosts want with the border? What is their end game?

Every city in the US has a list of excuses for why they don't want the migrants
