Chicago has taken the first concrete step to deliver on Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial plan to get more than 2,000 migrants off the floors of police stations, O’Hare and Midway airports and into giant tent cities he prefers to call “winterized base camps” before temperatures plummet.

Piggybacking onto an existing state procurement, the city has signed a $29.3 million contract with GardaWorld Federal Services LLC for “migrant temporary housing.”

“The purpose of this Purchase Order is to allow the City to purchase from the State Contract temporary housing solutions and related services … to provide critical services to asylum seekers,” according to the contract, signed Sept. 12.

Thousands of these migrants are not lawfully seeking asylum which matters not to Commissar Brandon Johnson.

Winterized? When will these Democrats get their stories straight? There won’t be winter due to climate change. It’s going to be sweltering. You would think they would be a little more consistent and include air conditioning in these luxury accommodations for our new neighbors.

$29,300,000 divided by 2,000 is $14,650 per illegal alien.

And that’s just for starters. This contract will balloon up so fast it won’t be funny. And why Garda? They’re an armored car company. What experience and expertise do they have in this area?

My dad went into the Navy during Korea, they said he was flying to boot camp in San Diego, which is nice in January, he got off of the plane in Chicago headed to Great Lakes Training Center.
Do the same thing, tell them they are flying to a beach in Miami and drop them off in Brazil.

Who does the illegal aliens laundry again?

Would be great if the homeless TOOK OVER the “weatherized housing” for the winter. Maybe THEY can get “culturally appropriate” food too. AND their laundry done.

I don’t think the taxpayers will mind. Their minds are busy trying to process what to do about “gun violence” being committed on weekends by the Chicongo “white supremacists”.

“I don’t think the taxpayers will mind. Their minds are busy trying to process what to do about “gun violence” being committed on weekends by the Chicongo “white supremacists”.”

Well the good news is... once our Marxist masters have successfully eliminated fossil fuels-powered vehicles... there will be nothing except EVs for those evil “white supremacists” in Chicongo to hijack. And there won’t be enough of those EVs to make a decent “white supremacist” living. So there’s that. Hey, maybe they could try jacking bicycles next...?

Does “winterized” mean deep freezer to store them until the Soylent Green factories on line.

From May, from a source I cant believe is having kittens about this, and behind a paywall so posting for the headline, but there's a very brief one time mention of GardaWorld at the top of the article...

Has China become too cosy with private equity?

A ‘Base Camp’ for launching raids is exactly what I envisioned.
