State to open 2 new migrant shelters in Chicago to house nearly 2,000 people – CBS Chicago

"In Illinois, we're implementing our comprehensive data-driven plan to improve our response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis and amplify the effectiveness of State, County, and City investments," said Governor JB Pritzker in a statement. "The additional temporary shelters will ensure that shelter capacity and wraparound services remain accessible to asylum seeker families as they transition out of our system of care and on to independence."

Perhaps these will be propaganda types of shelters to be used during the convention for JB to show jut how great immigration is for Illinois. I believe that the same strategy was used in WW2 by the Germans when model camps that housed the jews et al were used as propaganda for the

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
