Mayor Lori Lightfoot encouraged residents to help support a second wave of migrants who arrived Sunday afternoon by bus in Chicago and urged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to collaborate on a more humane transition.
A group of men stand outside Union Station after arriving on a bus with other migrants sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Aug. 31, 2022, in Chicago.
The new group was shipped to the city by Abbott as part of an effort to criticize the nation’s immigration policies and relieve what he says are overburdened border towns in his state.For weeks now, Abbott, a Republican, has been sending busloads of migrants who crossed the border in Texas to Washington, D.C., New York City an now Chicago.
The mayor praised several nonprofit organizations including the Salvation Army, the Resurrection Project and the National Immigrant Justice Center. “There is a long list of people who have stepped up in this moment and shown what Chicago is really about,” Lightfoot said.
