If I had put down my money on which governor would criticize Biden for his open borders policy, it wouldn’t have been Gov. Pritzker of Illinois. The obese tycoon of one of the most corrupt states in the country seemed like an unlikely candidate. So are these comments a testament to the poll numbers or just frustration?
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was told to prepare for up to 25 buses full of migrants each day as Chicago struggles to shelter and keep up with an influx of migrants being sent from Texas.
“Lots of communication for staff on my end and staff for the Governor of Texas,” Pritzker told NBC Chicago Tuesday. “And I’ve made it very clear that the governor needs to stop what he’s doing and that we all should be working on reform together. He shouldn’t have to deal with all of the folks who are coming across the border and staying in Texas.”
The rest is pro forma, but that last sentence is interesting. More striking is this official statement.
The situation prompted Pritzker to send a letter to President Joe Biden this week.
“In the 13 months since the first bus of asylum seekers arrived in Illinois from the border, our state has undertaken an unprecedented humanitarian response to the arrival of now over 15,000 people,” Pritzker wrote Monday. “Governors and mayors from border states have shipped people to our state like cargo in a dehumanizing attempt to score political points. The people of Illinois are kind and generous. We believe in the fundamental right of every human, especially those facing persecution, to find refuge and live with dignity in this great country of ours. But as the numbers being transported to Chicago are accelerating, the humanitarian crisis is overwhelming our ability to provide aid to the refugee population. Unfortunately, the welcome and aid Illinois has been providing to these asylum seekers has not been matched with support by the federal government. Most critically, the federal government’s lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois.”
Again. That last sentence.
Gov. Pritzker is generally following the same line as New York’s Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams, but mentioning the “federal government’s lack of intervention and coordination at the border” in a letter to Biden is hard to read as anything other than a direct criticism even if it’s couched in somewhat vague language.
What does it mean? Pritzker isn’t polling well on the migrant invasion, but it’s quite a while until he has to worry about an election. Sure he’s probably pandering in a state that has a sizable common sense conservative contingent, but I think it can be read as a certain amount of genuine frustration.
The open borders policy is creating massive amounts of havoc in cities and states that never had to deal with anything like it. The question is whether open borders is starting to create breaches in the party.
It seems to me Democrat governmental fat-cats like Pritzker (wealthiest governor in the US @ $3.6 Billion) should take this opportunity to “put meat on the bones” of their sanctimonious, bloviated virtue signaling and throw some of his personal wealth at the need for “sanctuaries”. Great photo-op, governor.
Any takers on that bet? Lol
5 million, 10 million, who knows? California has already been transformed. They already do most of the hard physical labor around here.
Get off the beaten track, like I used to do, and it is like another country. I remember one time driving down the Central Valley even decades ago.
The fat-ass J.B not only declared Illinois a sanctuary state, he made campaign promises to the “Dreamers” and not only did nothing to help ICE but he and Lori Lightfoot openly impeded ICE.
Now he is upset about migrants.
Reap what you sow you dumbass
The next DemoCrap needs to get elected as not being a Joke Biden. So they gave Pritzker the green light to criticize Biden. It’s nothing but a show. A mind game to fool the easily fooled DemoCrap voter base.
The problem confronting Democrat mandarins like Pritzker and Newsom and Murphy of New Jersey, and Hokum is how to maintain the destruction of the U. S. at an even, non-alarming rate that still allows them to win re-election every four years. Slowing the tide of wetbacks entering the country becomes necessary from time to time, but in the long run, as the Dems damn well know, changes nothing.
This will be followed by his and the other Dem governors calling for immediate “comprehensive immigration reform (as though the problem wasn’t that we already have laws but the Democrats refuse to enforce them) which will feature amnesty and citizenship. The addition of perhaps 30,000,000+ Democrat-voting citizens will cement their electoral invincibility forever more. Bye-bye USA. Hello one-party authoritarian rule.
And hello communism.
Obama, the postmodernist, loves to redefine the meaning of terms like “reform.”
I hope the invited invasion does create breaches in the Dirtbagocrat party. Normally they’re thick as thieves, because they are thieves. The American people need to have them Squabble. It would take their focus off screwing us over for a time.
Yeah, busing them to sanctuary cities is the first effective tactic the Republicans have found to fight back.
Yeah, those blue mayors are whining like the brats they are. They got what they asked for and they don’t like it. They can’t evict 95 year old veterans fast enough to accommodate the wetbacks.
I wouldn’t mind a stay in a luxury hotel with room service for free. Maybe even a hot Asian masseuse. But I’m white and a citizen. No go for me.
