On Wednesday evening, a bus carrying 80 to 100 individuals, largely from Venezuela, pulled into the Windy City\u2019s Union Station. The migrants originally crossed the southern border from Mexico into Texas.<\/p>\n<p>The move is part of Texas Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s program to show so-called sanctuary cities the strain of Joe Biden\u2019s border crisis. The governor called upon Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to make good on her promise to accept the new arrivals, regardless of immigration status, and give overrun border towns some much needed relief. Lightfoot bashed the Republican for the stunt while calling it inhumane.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cShame on Governor Abbott,\u201d stated the Chicago mayor. \u201cWhat he is doing is immoral, unpatriotic and it defies the values of who we are as Americans. We can disagree on policy and politics, but you don\u2019t treat people this way.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First Texas bus of migrants has arrived in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s inaction at our border puts Texans at risk &#038; is overwhelming our communities.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue bussing migrants to sanctuary cities like NYC, DC, &#038; now Chicago until the federal gov&#8217;t does its job &#038; secures the border. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RccsdIOXiI\">pic.twitter.com\/RccsdIOXiI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1565138872887115776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lightfoot may have been right as her city boasted almost 29 murders per 100,000 people in 2020, which is well above the national average of 6.5 per 100,000. Chicago isn\u2019t showing any signs of slowing down as it eclipsed 800 homicides last year, a murder rate not seen in the city since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>However, a Lightfoot spokesman said the Windy City will ensure the new arrivals receive \u201cshelter, food, and most importantly protection.\u201d The mayor said Chicago will decide on a more permanent location for the migrants in the coming days.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cBut in Chicago, we are ready, we are prepared and we will make sure that none of these folks are left in a lurch, but there\u2019s gotta\u2019 be a better way.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Chicago is the third Democrat-run city to receive migrants as New York and Washington D.C. have already been receiving shipments from Texas.
