(Bloomberg) -- Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker issued an emergency disaster proclamation after hundreds of asylum seekers poured into Chicago by bus from Texas, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams said a similar influx has brought the city to a breaking point.
Adams said New York is struggling to shelter, educate and provide health-care to a rush of migrants largely from Central and South America. The Wednesday statement followed criticism from legal aid advocates that said dozens of men were illegally denied shelter earlier in the city.
The 60 men were given shelter early Tuesday, Adams said.
More than 11,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since May, as part of a face-off between Adams and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has been busing migrants to New York City and other sanctuary cities. Abbott has tried to put pressure on the Biden administration to help alleviate the impacts from a surge in border crossings.

Money that's earmarked for Texas and Florida needs to be redirected to the states where the two idiot governors are sending people.

(16,058 posts)to other states should be clawed back from the states and they should each lose a portion of their federal funding for border control, since they are sending migrants elsewhere.
Those funds should go to the states that are taking the migrants, also, anyone sent in such a way should get fast-tracked to a green card/citizenship path.

Yes, I am sure that this is difficult to deal with, and can become overwhelming, but, all this emergency declaration is doing is giving them fascist Dipshits exactly what they want, and focuses the corporate media on these evil, disgusting, vile and inhumane stunts.
These folks should quietly contact them White House, and work out a plan to address the needs of these immigrants, like any true American would.

(24,391 posts)I thought that immigration concerns were primarily the purview of the federal government. Is it even allowed for governors to just move around migrants like this? This all just sounds crazy. Biden is not going to demand Trump-era draconian immigration policies like what Abbutt and DeSatan are demanding.
