Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot asks for $53.5 million for services for migrants through June 30

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Mayor Lori Lightfoot in a letter to the state legislature said that Chicago is dealing with a surge of 1,531 migrants, having received “an unusually large number of migrants who have been compelled to leave Texas by bus transport.” First of all, that’s it? Fewer than 2,000 migrants? In a city of 2.7 million people? And second, what’s this B.S. about being “compelled” to leave Texas? These migrants are trying to move north for all of the awesome job opportunities afforded by sanctuary cities like Chicago and New York.

How many migrants will El Paso, Texas see today alone? The Sun-Times reports:

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has told state lawmakers the city needs millions more in funding to provide for hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers.

In a letter dated Thursday, Lightfoot requested $53.5 million from Illinois legislators to help pay for emergency services for the recent arrivals.

Lightfoot said in the letter that the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Illinois Department of Human Services would stop sending financial support to Chicago for migrant services in the new year.

“The city is grateful to the state of Illinois for its partnership and collaboration on this mission to date, but we are simply unable to provide migrant services at today’s levels after February 1, 2023, if the state withdraws its financial support,” Lightfoot wrote in the letter.

Chicago had 1,531 migrants in its care, Lightfoot wrote Dec. 29 and is running 11 alternate shelters that provide meals, clothing and showers.

That’s some sanctuary you’re running there.

The thing is the state will give it to her and it still won’t be enough. This is just to last through June.
