Chicago – July 29, 2024
Chicago is bracing for as many as 25,000 migrants to arrive in the Windy City ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention, with one local alderman warning the city is already “tapped out” of resources.
“We can’t handle any more illegal immigrants sent to Chicago right now,” Anthony Napolitano told “Fox & Friends First” Friday. “The only highlight this is going to bring is at the national scale – that we can show everybody how sanctuary cit[ies are] a failure.”
City officials addressed preparations for the potential surge this week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed at the Republican National Convention to continue bussing migrants from the southern border to sanctuary cities.
