U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth and Democratic members of the Illinois congressional delegation called for greater federal support Thursday, sending a letter to President Joe Biden. “State and local officials have worked tirelessly to serve these new arrivals, and the federal government must swiftly provide assistance and resources that reflect this administration’s commitment to safe, orderly, and humane immigration processes,” they wrote.

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.

The migrant shelters will continue until morale improves!
Its got to hurt JB/Brandon & the fake-progressive elite when even Latinos (majority ethnic Mexican) are saying no thanks to the migrant shelters
One of my friends sits on the board of a homeless NFP and she just told me that donations stopped coming in after she started requesting things for migrants.
