Chicago, Illinois – The recent influx of migrants sent by Texas Governor Greg Abbott has put a strain on the city of Chicago. The city is struggling to accommodate the large number of migrants who have arrived in the city in recent weeks.
The migrants, who are mostly from Central America, have been sent to Chicago by the Texas Governor’s office as part of a new policy aimed at reducing the number of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border. The policy has been criticized by many as being inhumane and unconstitutional.
According to local officials, the city was not prepared for the sudden influx of migrants. The city’s shelters are already at capacity, and many of the migrants have been forced to sleep on the streets. The city has also seen an increase in crime since the arrival of the migrants.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has called on the federal government to provide more resources to help the city deal with the crisis. “We need more funding, more personnel, and more resources to deal with this situation,” she said in a recent press conference.

Despite the challenges, the city has remained committed to helping the migrants. Local charities and non-profit organizations have stepped up to provide food, shelter, and other basic necessities to the migrants.
