Following the busing of several hundred illegal immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to Illinois on Wednesday, Illinois' governor issued an emergency disaster declaration.
Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker directed 75 members of the state National Guard to help support asylum seekers arriving daily from Texas in Chicago.
According to Pritzker’s order. “This includes transport, emergency shelter and housing, food, health screenings, medical assessments, treatments, and other necessary care and services.”
Immigration from Mexico has been being sent to several Democratic-run cities, including New York, Illinois, and Washington, D.C., by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's administration for months. In the three cities, immigration and customs enforcement has not been allowed to cooperate with them.
