CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has requested a special meeting with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.
The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus is made up of 25 mayors from surrounding suburbs all grappling with the growing migrant crisis.
Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso will be in that special meeting at 4 p.m., and he spoke with ABC7 on Monday morning.
"I think all mayors want to be sure that their residents are safe and the migrants are safe, and that we have an understanding of how the process is going to work when migrants come," Grasso said.
Meanwhile, a nonprofit group in New York City called EVLovesNYC has been feeding new arrivals there.
The founder warned Chicago to expect chaos when city-run shelter stay limits take effect on Feb. 1. Stay limits have already gone into effect in New York City.
The group said city policies like these have been very problematic, and while New York City has a larger asylum-seeker population than Chicago, they still expect a bigger crisis when the city starts evicting migrants from shelters.
"That's when you're gonna see children with nowhere to go. That's when you're gonna see adults with their whole life in a black backpack on their sleeping in a park corner. These are the scenes we are seeing every day," said Mummad Mahmoud with EVLovesNYC.
Many migrant children in shelters are enrolled in Chicago Public Schools, and shelter eviction could mean those children might have to be transferred.

Oh my, their virtue signals turned into a horror.
first up...how to make people understand that when we claimed sanctuary status It didn’t MEAN sanctuary status.
This is called “spreading the blame”...
Dear Governor Abbott,
Send another 20 busloads and 4 more planes to Springfield IL.
Thanks,

People have reported that the migrants are almost mocking when they say things like ‘you have no idea what is coming’ or ‘you don’t know why we are here, do you...?’.
Someone had posted a video on twitter but I only can view a few things a day and not sure who posted it.
They’re going to bus them to rural areas.
All Public Employee’s in the State of New York Shall take 2 Illegal Aliens in to their home to feed and care for, all persons appointed or elected to their position shall take 4
PROBLEM SOLVED.
Can't have it both ways, Skippy. Mayors ought to be raising hell about these criminals being coddled at their taxpaying citizens expense! 🤬
Yep. Inundate the remaining red voter areas with illegal blue voters, to offset, neutralize and eventually override the interests and votes of the local citizens. In tried and true Democrat fashion, “shut up and pay your taxes”. Coming to a formerly red voter area in your state.....soon.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Remember, although Texas and Florida are sending bus loads of illegals to Northern sanctuary cities of their desire and choosing, 95% are bussed or flown there by Slow Joe and his intellectually challenged lackey Mayorkas.
I predict that this meeting is going to be about browbeating/threatening/guilt-tripping suburban mayors into taking these people in permanently. Apparently, that entire state is considered a sanctuary per some law that was passed a few years ago, not just the city of Chicago. But that’s not stopping other towns from fighting it.
