With busloads of asylum-seekers being transported from Texas to Chicago as part of a controversial new program, many are in need of supplies and donations as they begin the next part of their journeys.
"It's part of my agenda to be a welcoming city, 1,000%," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a press conference Sunday."... I have been very unequivocal in my time as mayor to make sure that we're doing everything that we can to provide a safe, welcoming space here in the city of Chicago. This is a time for us to live our values."
As Lightfoot anticipates that Texas will continue to send more individuals to Chicago, she said the city is committed to providing support and resources with help from the state and federal government. "As a city, we are doing everything we can to ensure these immigrants and their families can receive shelter, food, and most importantly protection," her office said."This is not new; Chicago welcomes hundreds of migrants every year to our city and provides much-needed assistance. Unfortunately, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is without any shame or humanity.
Estimates vary on how many individuals have been transported through the program, with most putting the number between 8,000 and 9.000.
