Texas increases migrant buses to Chicago, city says 63 have arrived so far this week
ABC News Local ^ | October 12, 2023 | BySarah Schulte

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.

Absolutely-send as many busses as possible, gov Abbott-sanctuary city-the voters didn’t speak up to stop it, so give it to them good and hard...

I can’t imagine how ignorant/dumb someone has to be to leave home, be a female mojado traveling with 3 little kids because she was told by some coyote that everything was going to be very fast with a shelter, etc-and now she is freaking out because she is sitting under a tree, and believed things would be different-welcome to reality, dumbass...

The Democrat/Biden administration are so evil. They could stop this flood of economic migrants any time they want to.

When the busses drop off the illegals, they also dump their holding tanks. Sky News had a TV news clip. Serves Shitcago right. LOLOL !

Keep sending them to sanctuary cities. After all, that’s what they’re for, right?

These people are not “economic migrants” I’m a native Texan and Hispanic, and we call these people mojados/wetbacks-AKA illegal aliens-that is what they are-and that is why I love to see these people sent to sanctuary cities-where there are not enough jobs to give them and the taxpayers are apparently getting sick of supporting them-maybe if these mojados are shoved down the throat of these blue cities enough, the voters might get rid of democrats...

What about DC? EVERY illegal should be shuttled to DC and dropped off at the White house as well as in front of the Biden crime families Delaware residence.

The small business I’m part of has had a no mojados hiring rule from day one-technically you are breaking the law if you hire a mojado-we do not break any laws, and I have la migra on speed dial...

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.

Do you know who runs Amtrak? Seems like the only other passenger trains on U.S. rails are steam era excursions, so it might be a bit difficult to put together a rail transport solution that the feds couldn't easily halt.

I would rather they bus these people right back out of the country. It’s fun to see sanctuary cities get overwhelmed but the fact is these people will not remain in those cities. They’ll move on to surrounding areas. What’s more, once they’re embedded in the hinterlands, they’ll attract more of their kind to those locations. It’s going to be very difficult to find and deport any of these people, if anyone even tries. They are here for good and in a generation they will be the Americans and I will be dead which solves that problem.

I hired Home Depot to install new windows in my house. While the man was sitting at my kitchen table working up the estimate, I said, “no Mexicans or the deal is off”. He laughed and said he would hire a good American contractor that doesn’t use Mexicans.

I can tell everyone reading this post that it is a FACT that downtown Chicago and the South Loop have seen a HUGE influx in criminal, illegal aliens in the past two weeks.

I walk (armed of course, for self protection) right by their open-air drug market on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the corner of Van Buren and Plymouth Court.

CPD of course does NOTHING about the large open air drug market there and the rancid smell of the stinkweed pot they're all getting high on...

By Mexicans I take it you mean mojados and not just all citizens of Hispanics ancestry? I’ll agree with that-I don’t know any Hispanic business owners-me included-who hire non-citizens...
