Chicago, state of Illinois get $8.5 million in federal migrant grants; requested up to $191 million – Chicago Sun-Times

New York City got the biggest chunk - $30.5 million, a drop in the bucket considering the FEMA ask was for $350 million. The District of Columbia Department of Human Services got $7.2 million. Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson’s reaction was more measured than his New York City counterpart: "“We are disappointed, as we know these funds are not enough to address the challenges our city faces as we respond to this crisis.”

From reading all the articles, it’s very hard to know what the cities budget is on a per migrant/ per year basis and what that includes? Probably the city & state have no clue either, just keep throwing countless $100 of millions of taxpayer bucks at this bottomless pit situation as usual?

These are not ‘migrants’. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS!
