Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott urging him to stop sending busloads of migrants to her city, which she says slacks adequate resources.
During an appearance on "The Big Money Show", Jimmy reacts to outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's comments about violent crime in her city.on Sunday requesting that he stop sending busloads of migrants to the Windy City over what she claims are political motivations.
She said the city has been responsible for the care of more than 8,000 people who had no resources of their own since the first buses arrived from Texas in August – adding that the number continues to grow. The Democratic mayor said Chicago lacks the necessary shelters and other resources to address further"Chicago is a Welcoming City and we collaborate with County, State, and community partners to rise to this challenge, but your lack of consideration or coordination in an attempt to cause chaos and score political points has resulted in a critical tipping point in our ability to receive individuals and families in a safe, orderly, and dignified way," Lightfoot wrote.
Lightfoot said she is sympathetic to the challenges of border towns in Texas, but that the issue will not be resolved by passing on the responsibility to other cities. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of migrants to Chicago and other sanctuary cities in August over the influx of migrant crossings at the southern border.
