Chicago preparing for migrant influx after Gov. Greg Abbott threatens to send more buses
The city is preparing to host the Democratic National Convention in August.

During his speech at the Republican National Convention, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities.
Chicago officials are preparing for an influx of asylum seekers ahead of the Democratic National Convention after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to continue sending "buses of illegal immigrants" to sanctuary cities.

On Tuesday, Chicago Deputy Mayor of Immigration Beatriz Ponce De Leon told reporters her city is bracing for 25,000 new migrant arrivals from Texas ahead of the DNC, according to the Chicago Tribune. The convention is being held Aug. 19-22 at the Windy City's United Center.

The scramble appears to be happening in response to a threat Abbott made to bus more migrants to Democrat-controlled cities during a fiery anti-immigrant speech he delivered at last week's Republican National Convention. In the address, the governor also falsely claimed that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had never visited the Texas border.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Bless Greg Abbott's heart.  Keep sending those migrant buses up North.

Let them have a taste of their own policies that they support for everybody else
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

No.  Send them back over the border.  Otherwise we will have huge pockets of ILLEGALS throught the country.  Counter productive.

Abbott is just spreading the wealth of diversity to the cities that embrace the concept. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

The Biden Admin won't secure the Border.

An alternative is to use Dem's own Open Border policies to bankrupt Dem cities and states, and to ecourage voters to elect more Republicans in Blue States and cities.
