With more than 100 people arriving unannounced on buses nearly every day for almost two months, the city’s shelter system has been stretched to the breaking point, city officials said. They are looking for buildings of approximately 100,000 square feet with a “large feeding space, isolation/quarantine space, community room/intake room, computer room with wifi” as well as space for staff offices, supply storage and room for “multiple social service agencies.”
Lori is very similar to Elmer Fudd. Nearly everything she tries blows up in her face!

How could a city and state that openly brag about being a sanctuary state, and flush with billions from Covid relief and Democrat giveaways, be unable to provide for a relatively low number of illegal refugees?

How about all those empty CPS buildings? Those kids are never coming back.
And why isn’t the woke Cardinal filling up all the empty Catholic schools and churches with these illegals?

I’m sure the council members are falling all over themselves to help Herself clean up a hot mess! She should solicit suggestions from the Civic Federation! I think this demands an all hands on deck approach, a territorial imperative; Harump.

Lol what is the long term plan for these illegals? Lori is treating them like pets, feeding and housing them for free like this. How long does she intend to do this?
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.

Till the Kibbles run out.
The long term plan is to have them vote Democrat
What’s stopping the city from sheltering the homeless in a similar fashion?
Homeless citizens have less curb appeal than ILLEGAL immigrants.
These people crossed the border illegally thanks to the policies of the Biden administration – don’t blame Texas.
And if Chicago thinks the ILLEGALS are a problem, imagine how inundated the small towns along the border are coping.
Close the damned border, Brandon!
Illegal immigrants are good for a photo op. Vacant eyed homeless not so much.
Will the city pay rent, insurance and real estate taxes? Will they abide by all the onerous regulations that every one else has to?
Thompson Center. Already has a food court. And lots of space for cots.
Soldier Field. Problem solved.
