State and federal agencies deny role in diaper shortage at Chicago’s migrant shelters – Chicago Tribune/MSN

“Emergency orders can be fulfilled if needed,” said Kevin Sur, spokesperson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. “As always, state partners will work to find items requested by the City of Chicago in an emergency.” According to Sur, the city’s “one and only request for diapers” was in October when they provided 64,000 diapers. Earlier this week they received another request for additional supplies but it did not include diapers, Sur said. Nevertheless, the state agency provided another 600 diapers that had been donated, he added.

Maybe they can get some of President Joe’s diapers with the presidential seal. He must have a pretty big stash he can share.

Migrants receive cash-card with monthly deposit payments, so why didn’t they purchase their own diapers? Purpose of cash-card is to specifically enable such personal-care items.

Government is not diaper-provider of last resort. The founding fathers would be outraged to see what has become government’s perceived responsibility.

Clearly, the free diaper ( and free everything else) programs that they left behind in their countries of birth were superior. “Step it up America, on we’ll go home!”. As if.
