Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott told outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot that if she does not like having busloads of migrants sent to the self-declared sanctuary city to contact the White House.
On Sunday, Lightfoot sent a letter to Abbott and requested he stop sending busloads of migrants to Chicago.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot speaks during election night rally at Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council on Feb. 28, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. "With Title 42 expulsions set to end next week, the federal government has estimated that we could have up to 13,000 illegal immigrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border every single day. Some reports indicate that there are nearly 35,000 waiting to cross into El Paso as soon as Title 42 expulsions are no longer in effect," Abbott said.
"Innocent Americans are put at risk every day by these open-border policies," Abbott wrote."If you truly want to ‘work together to find a real solution’ to this border crisis gripping our nation, you must call on the Biden Administration to do its job by securing our border."
