City seeks more federal funding to manage migrant influx, as some sleep in Chicago police stations.
More asylum-seekers are heading to Chicago, and there is no money left to help support them.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Around 100 migrants a day are being sent to the city by bus and by plane.
According to Mayor Lori Lightfoot, 8,100 migrants have arrived here the since August of last year.
Chicago is spending more than $20 million each month to house and support them, according to the city budget director, and it has evaluated more than 200 potential facilities to house migrants.
Now, city leaders and elected officials are calling this a humanitarian, and potentially fiscal, crisis.

Oh that article is priceless! They can run but not hide from their records. My home state of NY is proof of that. Now they can't even fix the mess they made of the judicial system here. The NY democrats are at cross purpose, very much like democrats nation wide. If the democrats want to try and push that narrative, they may want to shut up AOC and company!

I think most of the Migrants from TX are coming from Democrat Cities, not the Governor π
Unless you can find proof without MSM lies π

So any "proof" found will be labeled "MSN Lies"? It's a good strategy assuming your accusations can reach more people than the MSN can.

I loved it when they sent them to Marthas Vinyard. Fight fire with fire. Im so sick of the left taking advantage of people with good morale values. Its time to give them some of their own sauce. Let them appreciate the fruits of their own planting. Let them reap what they have sewn.

Back in the 90's, a Social Worker friend in Chicago would clear the books at the end of the month, per quotas, by giving certain long term folks a ONE WAY bus ticket to Skid Row in Los Angeles. Yes, Skid Row.
Chicago complaining about anything at all is pretty much theater of the absurd give the known political history.

Chicago and Illinois have as much blame as Biden.

"Asylum seekers", lol, that's rich.
We already have plenty of asylum seekers, we just don't have enough asylums to accommodate them.
Let's work on that first, k?

Not quite. Like with most things NY we have to look at NYC. Hochul did not do well in most counties, but for the most part nailed Westchester County and the city boroughs.

If you can find proof, let's see if it's lies or not. Why just assume before you can find anything? I'm looking and seeing the vast majority of Migrants being placed in big cities in TX that are run by Democrats.

Democrat cities can not handle the migrant crisis created by board state Republican governors.
Democrat cities can not handle the increase in crime brought about by the GOP campaign to defund the police
The Republicans will have a hard time defending their soft on crime policies in this election cycle.

The OP linked an article showing how the Chicago leadership is blaming republican governors for the immigration problems. New York leadership did the same thing. Soon MSN will be full of articles about how Northern Democrat leaders are single handedly fighting the immigration ills created by the republicans and how the republican lead congress is sitting on their hands as Liberal cities fall further into debt.
What more proof do you need that the GOP is facing a PR nightmare?
A statement from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker echoed this sentiment, saying βIllinois welcomes refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants...
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says her administration was aware of the plan, and that they are working to find shelter and other services for individuals bused to the city.
"This is such an important moment for Chicago as our city has been a sanctuary for thousands of newcomers. We are welcoming them and we will not turn our backs on those who need our help the most," Lightfoot said Wednesday in a statement.
