Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson said he recently received a call from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker\u2019s office, informing him \u201da bus\u201d full of migrants would be arriving in the city that evening.<\/p>\n<p>When he asked for more information such as how many migrants and which hotel they were headed to, Johnson said the office claimed \u201cno details were available.\u201d The small town mayor then questioned whether these migrants had been subjected to any health screenings or background checks, but given no answer. Johnson said he would provide food and water for the migrants, but not allow them off the bus.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe started doing some homework. The State of Texas has no clue where Elk Grove Village is. They were not going to Elk Grove Village. They were going to the city of Chicago. She wants to probably say politically: \u2018I\u2019m a sanctuary city. I welcome you with open arms.\u2019 But when reality checks, if five bus loads shows up in her city, she can\u2019t handle it. So let\u2019s give them to Elk Grove Village. That\u2019s wrong\u2026We\u2019re not against migrants. We\u2019re not against helping them, but we should work together. Our frustration is, no well-advance knowledge, no involvement in communication discussing how we can handle it.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013Mayor Craig Johnson \u2013 Elk Grove Village, Illinois\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as Illinois Democrat leadership, including Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot have attempted to play off the influx of migrants from Texas as \u201dracism\u201d by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/trump-we-won-big-in-2020-but-dead-people-voted\/\">Trump: We Won Big In 2020 But Dead People Voted<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migrants, who boarded a bus in Texas, listen to volunteers offering assistance after being dropped off within view of the US Capitol building in Washington, DC, on August 11, 2022.
