CHICAGO (CBS) -- Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Thursday accused the city of not moving "fast enough" to ensure migrants have shelter – and he said that is why people have been seen on the street.

Pritzker said the State of Illinois has been offering assistance, and holding up its end of the deal.

"The city's been operating its own methodology process, right? And it hasn't moved fast enough," Pritzker said. "So we've done a complete data analysis of everything that's happened really for the last 14 months to determine exactly where the bottlenecks are, and so we're bringing our resources in to try to flatten out those bottlenecks, make sure that people are moving through faster, and make sure that the city is building shelters faster."

Pritzker emphasized that the state does not run shelters, and they are the city's responsibility.

Pritzker is only criticizing Chicago because he's a racist and trying to embarrass the black mayor.  See how easy it is to throw that crap around?!

Slinging mud and not actually doing anything is easy -- taking the bull by the horns and resolving this issue takes courage and backbone.

The issue needs to be addressed and resolved with Mexico and a wall needs to be built and armed. Immigration into this country needs to be stopped. Period.  No exceptions.
