Two buses carrying illegal migrants from Texas arrived in Chicago on Wednesday night. Chicago is the third Democrat-led sanctuary city to receive illegal migrants from Texas.

Governor Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey are sending buses to sanctuary cities to make a point that the Biden border crisis is unfairly burdening cities and towns along the southern border. In order to alleviate some of the overcrowding of shelters and facilities providing care for the migrants, the governors are providing the opportunity for them to travel to sanctuary cities at state expense. In the case of the buses that arrived in Chicago on Wednesday, Texas taxpayers footed that bill for their transportation, as well as their food and water for the trip.

Unlike what the mayors of sanctuary cities would have you believe, the migrants want to take advantage of the free transportation in order to get to their final destination of choice. The fact is that when they arrive in the United States from Mexico and are apprehended, the Biden administration uses catch and release which allows them to remain here and travel freely around the country. They are allegedly given instructions to show up at an ICE office wherever they end up. Some are released on humanitarian parole. Mayor Bowser said she fears they are being “tricked” into boarding buses for locations outside of Texas and Arizona.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City is name-calling Governor Abbott all kinds of things like un-American and unpatriotic, as well as racist, of course, for moving them away from the border. Democrat mayors of large cities like to boast about welcoming everyone with open arms and providing shelter as a sanctuary city until they actually have to handle the arrival of illegal migrants. Then they demand support like from the National Guard and FEMA.

Remember when the previous president sent troops to the southern border in 2018 to head off migrants traveling in caravans? Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said it wasn’t an election year stunt. It was about national security. It was to provide support to DHS and Border Patrol. Joe Biden isn’t worried about national security and how floods of migrants are affecting border towns, apparently.

Governors Abbott and Ducey do not intend to let up on sending buses to sanctuary cities. Washington, D.C. was the first city chosen because that is where Joe Biden and Congress are. Congress is responsible for legislation on immigration and promises of immigration reform is usually a hot campaign topic but never actually happens. Politicians like to have illegal immigration as an issue to motivate voters but they don’t want to do the work once in office. The Biden administration isn’t even carrying out immigration laws already on the books.

In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is not happy. Though she says that her city has been preparing for buses of illegal migrants, there was no one to meet the migrants as they got off the buses in Chicago.

“The first two buses of migrants from Texas arrived at Chicago’s Union Station this evening. Many of them told me they’re from Venezuela. They said they were expecting someone to be here to help them when they arrived, but there isn’t anyone here,” Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble said.

Other videos from Trimble show the migrants boarding another bus, which he said he was told was taking them to a shelter.

The Fox News correspondent estimated that there were 80-100 migrants total on the two buses, including around 20 children.

Now the war of words begins between Governor Abbott and Mayor Lightfoot.

“Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city w/ capacity to serve them,” Abbott said in his statement, referring to Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot (D).

Lightfoot responded. She called Governor Abbott racist and inhumane, because, of course she did.

Lightfoot responded by decrying Abbott’s practice as “racist” and saying he is “without shame or humanity.”

“Unfortunately, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is without any shame or humanity. But ever since he put these racist practices of expulsion in place, we have been working with our community partners to ready the city to receive these individuals,” a spokesman for Lightfoot’s office said.

No welcoming committee, Mayor Lightfoot? Surely those community partners have lined up shelters and resources for the new arrivals. Or maybe her claim of being prepared is all a bunch of malarkey. Her office was quick to slam Abbott. She apparently is taking the same route as Adams and responding with name-calling. She said Chicago is prepared. What’s the big deal, right?

The migrants were mostly from Venezuela. There were between 80 – 100 that arrived in Chicago. Of that number, there were between 20 -30 small children. Governor Abbott said that Chicago is the latest drop-off location. Rest assured, there will be more Democrat-led sanctuary cities added to his list.

“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Abbott said. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location. Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.”

Good luck, Mayor Lightfoot. These groups of migrants are just a drop in the bucket compared to what border states are dealing with every single day. Spare us your outrage.
