The disaster declaration will allow the Illinois Emergency Management Agency as well as Chicago and Cook County officials to provide transportation, housing, food, health screenings and medical treatment to the immigrants. The 75 members of the Illinois National Guard will help coordinate services, Pritzker said. Pritzker said Abbott’s actions are a clear “stunt,” since the immigrants are only being sent to cities where the leaders are Democrats and has refused to give cities and states advance notice of the immigrants’ arrival or what they will need when they get to Chicago. Lightfoot said Chicago was experiencing a “manufactured crisis by ambush,” adding that Abbott was working to “reignite anti-immigrant sentiment.”

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.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

They should be put up in Hyatt Hotels with a billboard outside which reads “Your Tax Dollars at Work!”
But you would not mobilize the NG when Downtown was set on fire and businesses looted in the Summer of 2020 right!
Hack. You are so corrupt.
And so GONE in November.
Can’t Walk your Sanctuary talk?
LOL, the illegal immigrants are creating anti-immigrant sentiment.
Lard a&& won’t let a political opportunity to go waste so he’s grandstanding over several hundred illegals. I bet several hundred illegals move to Pilsen and Back of the Yards, and Palatine every week and we’re handling it just fine. Why do you think rents have shot up so much? There’s quite a bit of demand.
They are just morons!
Pritzker has declared IL a Sanctuary Sate. Start sanctuaring you virtue signaling lardass. Suck it Fatboy.
The city of Yuma Arizona and it’s 100,000 residents have taken in 250,000 illegal immigrants in the past year. The Fat Man and Beetlejuice can’t handle 400?
Disaster = more DC Swamp $ for your Dem bretheren
Therefore everything is a Disaster.
300 immigrants is a disaster? Oh that’s right, we are still under an emergency declaration for a cold. The 2nd was written in case of tyrants like this.
Pretty sad that a Governor that boasts of being a sanctuary state can’t handle 400 migrants in a week. He better get ready for a lot more if he keeps insulting the Governor of Texas. Our Governor Blowhard isn’t very bright.
400 , put a few more zeros after that and its probably closer to the number of illegal aliens in the once great state of Illinois .
