Texas starts flying migrants to Chicago after sanctuary city attempts to thwart busing effort
Blaze Media ^ | December 21, 2023 | CANDACE HATHAWAY

Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently sent a plane with more than 120 migrants to Chicago, Illinois, after the sanctuary city attempted to thwart the governor’s busing efforts.

Since last year, Abbott has relocated over 80,000 asylum-seeking migrants to Democratic-led cities in an effort to give the nation a glimpse into the severity of the ongoing migrant crisis caused by the federal government.

The flight left El Paso and arrived in Chicago on Tuesday.

Andrew Mahaleris, a spokesperson for Abbott, stated Wednesday that the flight was in response to Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson’s attempt to thwart Texas’ busing effort. He accused Johnson of “targeting migrant buses.”

“Until President Biden steps up and does his job to secure the border, Texas will continue taking historic action to help our local partners respond to this Biden-made crisis,” Mahaleris said.

LOL EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Also, El Paso to Chicago on Amtrak is only 45 hours.

Don’t fly them inside the US, fly to their home country or anywhere in Africa.

“I’ll be impressed when we start flying them to Brazil or Africa.”

Chicago can’t shoot them out of the air. And that’s makes a drive by competely impossible.

FYI the DC-9 is a twin engine jetliner that went into service in 1965. I think you mean the DC-3 and the C-47 military version (they used both in WW2). My grandfather flew them in WW2 and also for the Berlin airlift.
