Texas Governor Greg Abbott delivered a busload of migrants to Chicago Wednesday night. The delivery marks the expansion of sanctuary city destinations to include New York and Washington, D.C.
“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” Governor Abbott said in a written statement. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location.”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker welcomed the migrants and likened their journey to that of his great-grandfather who left Ukraine in 1881, ABC7 ChicagoThe Chicago ABC affiliate spoke with a Venezuelan family who got off Texas’ first Chicago-bound bus. “We just left Venezuela, went to Colombia, going through the jungle in Panama,” William Mijares said. “We were not treated like humans. We were treated like the worst kind of people in the world and we don’t understand why, but that’s the way they consider us.”
