They didn’t break in. The property owner allowed them to stay there.

Its ain't how the cities are built bruh. New York and Houston are two diffrent cities...New York resembles alot of European cities with regards to its walkability. There are barely any bike lanes in Houston and you need a car. Its corruption and bad management going on. They are dipping their hands in the money jar and giving it to the rich.

Houston is one of the worst cities I’ve been to as far
As walkability

How you got 2.3 million people but no commuter rail

Chicago is going to dump these people into the West and South Suburbs. They already are. This year my school district which is 30+ minutes out of the city had to approve a certified bilingual ELA teacher due to the influx of migrants. Parents and kids are pulling up to public schools that don't speak any English, registering at schools that don't have the adequate staff to serve them.

This also impacts the school's performance because the standardized tests are essentially in English. So without additional support many schools accepting these kids are going to get fukked for bad test scores.

I saw this coming from MILES away

This is what happens when someone who is an idealist becomes a leader. Someone who hasn't executed action at this level. Constituents need to understand that with Politicians, you need people in place who have executed macro tasks. Not someone that is only good a planning, theory and ideas. All of that means NOTHING without action

Chicago migrants: Brandon Johnson meets with 25 suburban mayors to discuss crisis

Brandon Johnson is discussing the migrant crisis with 25 suburban mayors in a special meeting on Monday.

Chicago City Council members have been pushing for municipalities to help share the burden. Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso said mayors have several questions for Johnson.

"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.

While the city has no plans to open up new shelters any time soon, the state has allocated an extra $160 million to help, but Gov. JB Pritzker said he is waiting on the city for a plan.

"The city has not told the state where they would like us to put our resources to build new shelters or help them build new shelters, so we can't help if we can't identify those locations," Pritzker said.

Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor and others are concerned about how the city can continue to financially support the crisis.

"We don't have it, we can't continue to rob Peter to pay Paul to fix a crisis we didn't create," Taylor said.
