More than 19,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since the first two buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott arrived at Union Station on Aug. 31, 2022. What does it mean to be a welcoming city?
More than 19,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since the first two buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott arrived at Union Station on Aug. 31, 2022. What began as a political stunt by Abbott to draw attention to strained resources in border cities handling surging numbers of migrants has ballooned into a full-blown crisis. Southern border governments and charities are sending migrants on bus and train to Chicago and other immigration-friendly U.S.
Migrants are given cheeseburgers while sitting on a CTA bus before being taken to a Salvation Army shelter after arriving at Union Station on a bus with approximately 60 others from Texas on Aug. 31, 2022. At various times over the first year, the crisis led to conflict between the city and state about lack of funding. There have been repeated calls for more federal resources.
