City officials had expected to spend $144 million in 2023 to care for the migrants, who are all in the country legally after requesting asylum but are not permitted to work without special permission. However, a significant acceleration of the humanitarian crisis since May means it will cost the city at least another $94.3 million to care for the migrants through the end of the year, according to the mayor’s office. Opening the winterized tents to serve as base camps for the migrants who would otherwise be sent to police stations would add an additional $158 million to the city’s costs, according to projections shared with alderpeople Friday. Johnson said Chicago had an obligation to care for the migrants in a way that “recognizes their dignity.”
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

Send several busloads to North Shore suburbs, ASAP.
Obvious point: Chicago should share the “recently arrived migrants” welfare-burden, distribute the arriving migrants over all the Cook County suburbs and Democrat-led “progressive voter” collar counties.
Folks, it’s time for progressive suburbanites to “walk the talk”, feel the immense financial burden imposed by this Biden advocacy of unrestricted “economic migration” too.
‘Deep Blue’ precincts all over the Chicago area should be lining up for their quota of illegals, since they asked for them..
North Shore Suburbs…execlent!
After closing the border … Internment camps. Hapless law-abiding and tax paying Japanese Americans were torn from their homes and livelihoods and herded into camps at a time of national crisis. Surely the open border qualifies as a self-inflicted national crisis. If it was good enough for law-abiding Americans, it should be good enough for the illegal border jumpers. Set up internment camps in sanctuary states that are so eager to host illegals. Set up asylum courts adjacent to the camps to expedite processing. Those who fail to prove their asylum cases should be whisked off to their home country.… Read more »
They are doing this on purpose. They want a ‘browner’ United States, with the hope that the ‘migrants’ (getting amnesty), and their children, will electorally vote Democrat for the next 100 years. The additional benefit is that with such massive waves of immigration, and increased fertility, these Democrat leaders will be able to take control over scarce resources like food, technology, oil, etc and distribute it away from Deplorables and into the hands of their supporters. America is the globalists’ experiment in open borders. They’ve explained for years about the unfairness that ‘capital’ aka money can easily cross borders but… Read more »

We’re a country full of idiots who elect idiots to govern us…..
We’re not a country full of idiots. I didn’t elect these people. Radicals are vastly outnumbered. Defeatist comments like yours deter people from taking action.
Sorry you’ve convinced yourself that you’re an idiot. I don’t think you’re an idiot. I’m definitely not an idiot. You should seek help.
