A Democrat Chicago Alderman has voiced concerns that the city cannot handle the 30,000 migrants that have arrived, attributing a rise in crime to the surge and suggesting that Texas is under a much greater strain. Reports indicate that 28 new arrivals were counted several times at Ogilvie Transportation Center, with oversight by @ChicagoOEMC and Metra PD. Subsequent tweets report that the migrants were initially dropped in Waukegan and then brought to downtown Chicago via Metra. Additional migrants were also reported at suburban Metra stations, with numbers specified for Wheaton (50), Woodstock (36), Hinsdale (39), and an unknown number at Downers Grove. Over 300 migrants were expected in Chicago after a plane landed in Rockford, with MetraPD dispatches indicating multiple suburban drop-offs. Amidst this influx, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott of creating a humanitarian crisis and dividing the country, while others have criticized the Biden administration for not securing the border. City leaders have reached a 'Breaking Point' and are demanding more federal assistance as they deal with the crisis, which Mayor Johnson deems 'a very dangerous task' orchestrated by Governor Abbott to 'sow seeds of chaos.' Additionally, there was no warning from the Governor of Texas about the migrants' arrival, which the mayor claims is a threat to national security.
Yikes. Chicago's mayor claims that Governor from Texas gave him no warning when a plane filled with of migrants landed in the Windy City last night. He says this is a threat to national security and says it's very dangerous. Anyway, send more. https://t.co/3PDFzZKoTX

Instead of blaming the Biden administration for failing to get a handle on the illegal immigration crisis or demanding beefed up security at the Southern border, the Mayor of Chicago says Texas is "crafting a humanitarian crisis." Do most reasonable Americans believe Brandon… https://t.co/Jh5cRPfFdF

Chicago Alderman: ‘I’m a Democrat,’ But Biden ‘Let the Border Remain Open’ & Migrant Surge Is Causing Crime. Says Chicago can’t handle the 30K illegal immigrants who moved there. If Chicago with 2.7m ppl can’t handle it, Texas faces a much greater burden https://t.co/1fAky4Jb59
