Communication breakdown? Pritzker and Texas governor disagree who’s ignoring whom in immigrant busing dispute – Chicago Sun-Times*

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, left, in May; Gov. J.B. Pritzker, right, last month. Gov. J.B. Pritzker complained Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s busing of immigrants is politically motivated and “disgusting.” “Staffs have been in contact with one another, but they have been wholly uncooperative in Texas,” Pritzker said. “They are trying to sow chaos around the country, not just here in Chicago.”

“Communications Breakdown” Why is Texas even bothering to communicate at all? This is war. The bleeding heart sanctuary city politicians need to suffer for their illegal policies. Dump a million criminal illegal immigrants on Chicago and watch fatboy cry like someone stole his third helping of fried dough.

If only Pritzker had the foresight to bus thousands of immigrants to IL two years ago, the state wouldn’t have lost a US Representative during reapportionment. Transporting asylum seekers from the border to sanctuary cities is a brilliant political move by Abbott.

I have an idea. Why doesn’t Pritzker send Texas high paying jobs/people and companies in exchange for all the migrants? Wait! He’s been doing that for a while now. Never Mind.

It’s not sowing chaos encouraging illegals to pour in by the millions.

It’s sowing chaos when law and order states on the border export lawlessness to willingly lawless sanctuary states.

Right . . .

Believe it or not, Lori isn’t at home
Please leave a message at the beep
I must be out, or I’d pick up the phone
Where could I be? Believe it or not, I’m not home

Hey, Lori, it’s Greg Abbott. No, not the 80s R&B singer, the Texas Governor. Anyhoot, I’ve got another busload coming your way. They should be at Union Station sometime tomorrow night. Any q’s, gimme a holler. Laterz.

Pritzger, ” We are sanctuary state, a place where displaced persons can feel safe”. Pritzger, “Don’t send illegal aliens from Texas to Illinois, that’s just wrong”. Follow the logic, if you can.

Pritzker openly bragged about his and Illinois Democrats lawlessness, now he whines about illegal aliens being bused into Chicago!? Who are the people who vote for a clown like Pritzker?

College educated women with short hair, aged 31+, live in the ‘burbs, complain when their Republican voting parents refuse to accept that gender is ‘non-binary’.

You can’t brag openly about being a sanctuary state and then complain when people take you up on the offer. JB enacted policy not to work with Federal agencies to arrest and deport illegals. Talk about lack of cooperation. He should face Federal charges.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
