Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sparked outrage after deciding to move 64 migrants on a bus from the Windy City to a neighboring Republican suburb.
On Wednesday, 147 migrants arrived in Chicago, city officials told Fox 32.
Hours later, 64 of them were taken to a Hampton Inn hotel in Burr Ridge – 20 miles southwest from downtown – where they will be housed for at least the next 30 days.
Republican Mayor of Burr Ridge, Gary Grasso, directed his anger at Lightfoot and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for using the migrants as ‘political pawns.’

Migrants From Texas Border Sent From Chicago To Elk Grove Village — With Little Warning
Ninety Venezuelan migrants, bused from Texas, arrived at an Elk Grove Village hotel today (Saturday).
The migrants arrived yesterday at Union Station and with little notice, were transported to Elk Grove Village today.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbot has sent several busloads of migrants from the Texas border to Chicago and other sanctuary cities. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot then sent the bus on to Elk Grove Village, Elk Grove Village Mayor Criag Johnson said.
Johnson called Lightfoot “inept” and the “worst mayor I’ve had to deal with in 26 years as mayor.” He also called the handling of the situation, “haphazard.”
He said Elk Grove Village is not a sanctuary city and said if Lightfoot wants Chicago to be praised as a sanctuary city, she should deal with the consequences of that as well.

As always “GOOD FOR US to do it, but NOT For you”..
Ship them back to the disgraceful lying, LGHTQ, Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
What would expect from a city who would elect such a thing as mayor to mislead them.
Ship them airmail back home.
“Hours later, 64 of them were taken to a Hampton Inn hotel in Burr Ridge – 20 miles southwest from downtown – where they will be housed for at least the next 30 days.” ,,,,,,If it was Elmhurst 10 miles west of Chicago in formerly Republican run Dupage County, when I grew up, they would all be spending 30 days in jail making License plates, and then sent back to the windy city, probably dropped off near to where the south side Stockyards used to be, where the sheep and sausages were processed for consumption, just like Lightfoot processes the socialist sausage today. I think it hard to beleive that former home of Democrat Chicagoan Saul Alkinsky would be sending them away when they could all be made useful idiot voters of, and put to good use by democrat SOCIALISTS rioting, marching, or tearing down statues. Apparently the party apparachiks need to spread new strains of COVID to Republican areas right before the elections to keep them shut down at home in fear.
