Quick! We need to send Illinois governor JD Pritzker a copy of the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, because he seems to have forgotten:
"The Democrat convention is in Chicago next year. Are you confident that your city and your state are gonna have a better grasp?"

Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker: "Someone needs to work in Texas with these border politicians to have them stop sending people only to blue cities!" pic.twitter.com/gmFIXM7eNH
Jeez.
How PATHETIC is this 🤡 Pritzker calls on ‘someone’ to stop Texas from sending migrants ‘only to blue cities’ https://t.co/CZuhlLZt0o

From The Washington Examiner:
Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) is calling for “someone” to stand up and stop Republican lawmakers from sending migrants “only to blue cities.”
“Someone needs to work in Texas with these border politicians to have them stop sending people only to blue cities!” Pritzker told Face the Nation on Sunday.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced that Texas had bused more than 50,000 people who have crossed the southern border and sent them to Democratic-led cities, including New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles. The busing initiative began in 2022.
The Illinois governor specifically pointed to the need for federal intervention.
“The president of the United States and the White House has the ability to help disperse folks across the country,” Pritzker added. “That will help a lot.”
So big, self-proclaimed sanctuary cities like Chicago and New York just simply can't handle all the illegal immigrants, but bussing them off to other places means those other places will?
You wanted Illinois to be a sanctuary state, didn't you?

Classic. We also call this 'hypocrisy' where this writer comes from.

Elections have consequences, after all.
The blue states and cities all brag about being "Sanctuary Cities and States", this is what happens. You wish to give sanctuary, you get people needing sanctuary. Texas is just helping you fulfill your wishes. Bravo Texas https://t.co/9AlE9vylHc

They specifically touted their sanctuary status to dump on small cities in red states that were crushed by immigration. Now that they're expected to put their money where their mouth is, all they do is whine.
IL Governor thinks the problem isn't millions of people coming through the border into the US. It's that a few thousand of them are getting bussed to blue cities. https://t.co/pJdztzawuh

Of course they're blaming Texas and not, ya know, the Biden administration.
They're not sending them to "only blue cities". They're sending them to sanctuary cities. They're helping you live up to your principles. You should be thanking them. https://t.co/RnE0XhbLHH
— Jeff Springer (@rationallyJeff) October 8, 2023
And yet, they aren't. So ungrateful.
"Someone (with weaponized power from the Biden admin) needs to work in Texas... (to attack) these border (defending) politicians." There. https://t.co/3TQ9f0fzhm

That was the subtext there.
"It's Texas's fault we support open borders and sanctuary policies!" https://t.co/faUiAvxslV

Always place the blame elsewhere. It's the Democrat way.
Is there no Democrat that will call out Biden for his border crisis? https://t.co/486RfJqbfL
— Traci Parker (@traciparker01) October 8, 2023
Not likely. At least not publicly.
Per the usual, Democrats wanted all the migrants in, while more and more of their own constituents began raising their own voices against it.
— Gregory Hopkins (@MrGHopkins) October 8, 2023
Now they wanna say it’s the fault of border politicians?
You wanted and now you got it.. Otherwise massive deportation and build a wall! https://t.co/quJgw8CLl4
They never, ever think through to the consequences of their actions. Never.
They didn’t for two years until you hung out your welcome to the sanctuary state of Illinois.
— brobert545 (@brobert545) October 8, 2023
Why not say “close the border and finish the wall for all of the USA?”
Epitome of hypocrisy . https://t.co/TGVYMCU6AJ
Yes it is.
As I understand it democrats said the invaders were welcome, have they changed their minds? https://t.co/z25XPH2Crr
— IjustDontCare (@Sonlymetoo) October 8, 2023
Sure seems like they have buyer's remorse.
JB, You were once proud to call Chicago a sanctuary city and welcome to all. You literally ASKED for this. https://t.co/V9vHUwLJKj

But that was only to virtue signal how he was better than those red states! He didn't expect anyone to actually hold him to his word.
Why isn't he addressing this to Kamala and Joe? https://t.co/4OZpLX0pvA
— Islandgirl002 (@JB_Islandgirl) October 8, 2023
Because they won't listen. Kamala isn't very good at her job of being the border czar.
Lol…send more https://t.co/YonCtgwBNv
— Rob Onorato (@Rob_Onorato12) October 8, 2023
Agreed. Every time a Democrat gets on television to complain about this, send more.
@GregAbbott_TX please keep sending the illegal immigrants to these cities. They are finally realizing what we Texans have been dealing with for years. https://t.co/a76N3yDU10

This writer admits she was skeptical at first about the bussing of immigrants. But it's working well and really making the sanctuary cities squirm. Keep it up.
