CHICAGO (WLS) -- Every inch of the sidewalk in front of the 18th Police District headquarters is wall-to-wall tents, all used for sheltering migrants. There is so little room left that Adriana Colina and her family were forced to find space under a tree across the street.
Colina has just arrived in Chicago with her three sons, all of whom are under the age of seven.
"I didn't think there so much population here at the police station, I thought it would be very different, I thought everything was going to be very fast with a shelter," she said.
In a virtual briefing to reporters Thursday, the city said the Texas governor has dramatically increased the fleet of buses he is sending to Chicago.
"He plans on sending 20-25 buses a day, just in the past week we've had 63 buses," said Deputy Chief of Staff Christina Pacione-Zayas.
Pacione-Zayas said the administration's plan to move people out of police stations to yet-to-be-built base camps is imminent, although she would not say where they would be located. Meanwhile, the city is opening a new shelter every six days, but Pacione-Zayas said it's not nearly enough and the city needs more help from its own.
"We've also received quite a bit of pushback and we really need help from community and alders to assist us in being able to help get people of police station floors," she said.

Out of curiosity, why just Chicago?
Why not Minneapolis? Detroit? Lansing? Trenton? Dover? Baltimore? Seattle? Portland? SanFran?
Should be 630 a week
Commies hate it when you make them live up to their own book of rules.
a trickle to our flood, but it’s something
And it’s raining in the northern part of Illinois, including the Chicago area, today and for the next few days. In two months, that will be snow. Hope those refugees brought a winter coat with them.
send em to gaza!!!!
Average temperature in Chicago in January — 3 months away — 26 degrees F.
Keep those buses coming, Gov. Abbott.
My only question is why it isn’t trains filled with migrants. Ship tens of thousands of them to Chicago and New York. Not just a couple thousand.
Don’t forget Boston.
Not to worry. The government you find will be happy on it them coats
Schitcago wanted unlimited immigration, now they’re getting it, good and hard.
F’em, and FJB!
These should be going to purple states IMO
Not deep blue
Set-up housekeeping in front of the mayor's house--maybe he'll invite you in for beautiful breakfast tacos.
Traditional prank, leaving a stinky paper bag of migrants on Chicago’s doorstep. It’s catching on!
Send a couple dozen busloads to West Virginia and Montana and let the folks know these gifts are from the their ‘open border’ Joes.
At least take it to 100 per week ... it’s working too well to stop!
I live 400 miles from the Mexican border on the Gulf.
Every winter, I see illegals hanging out at the Home Depot with shabby thin coats. It does not get Chicago cold here, but we are not used to cold weather.
A lot of them hang out inside the store to get out of the cold.
Yes, and our streets are paved with gold. You get a free house and car.
Oh, and a Unicorn!
Why Purple states? So those states can tilt completely to Blue?
