[global1]

Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

Here is a link to a statement put out by the Village with respect to this: https://www.elkgrove.org/Home/Components/News/News/5751/31

Will Abbott be targeting sending migrants to smaller communities versus NYC, Chicago & D.C.? Is that his plan?

Like NYC, Chatanooga, Tenn. overwhelmed by migrant surge from Texas

It’s not just New York City.

Tennessee officials also have had to scramble to accommodate busloads of migrants getting dropped off without notice in Chattanooga, they told The Post Tuesday.

In a 48-hour period over the weekend, Chattanooga helped 51 immigrants that were aboard buses shipped to the Big Apple by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

2. I don't understand why the Feds aren't stopping this.

He's trafficking these migrants. They've done interviews that they were either tricked or threatened. These are people here legally because they are waiting hearings on asylum.

Unintended consequence: Abbott is also making it more likely these migrants will receive asylum as their cases will be heard in jurisdictions more likely to grant asylum status.

5. Why stop him? Can Texas handle this on their own?

I don’t get why this is bad. They ask them if they’d like to go to New York or other areas. How can Texas manage the numbers on their own? Somebody please enlighten me as to why this is awful. Thank you.

8. Because they are taking people against their will and busing them across the country.

Maybe it works out to be helpful for some migrants who want to get out of TX, but what about those who don't know or want to be bused? I'm unwilling to take their word for it that all these people are volunteering to be political pawns. It's also taxing the resources of the cities where he's just dumping these people. States that did not get extra federal funds for border operations.

What proof is there that TX can't handle processing these asylum seekers? This is a political stunt costing TX millions of dollars.

14. +1

100% agreed.

Texas has a handful of big cities that are as equally capable of accommodating many of the migrants, if they wish to remain in Texas. All of Texas isn't like Greg Abbott. Many organizations in Texas would welcome them just as Chicago or NYC would.

Also, there have been articles published of migrants saying they were told the buses would take where they wanted to go only to have them dropped off in NYC when they wanted to go somewhere else.

3. Maybe he figured out that larger cities aren't shocked to find out there are

undocumented workers among us.

Smaller cities may find their resources stretched and not be happy a Republican governor is pulling this stunt.

4. Abbott is a coyote

Major human trafficking, busing individuals hither an yon, rather than to father and mom (relatives).

Abbott is a smuggler of undocumented.
Trump is a documented smuggler of documents

6. elk grove is very industrial. lots of jobs where no one asks questions.

lightfoot is all but greeting the buses. no headlines there.

7. with all those factories, i thought it would be easy getting a quick snack

Nope. i drove in and drove out.

[mopinko]

9. yeah, i've had that problem out that way.

the bk on the wrong side of the intersection is about it. i used to work down the road in west chgo. contract packing place w all illegals.
had a good corner pub, tho. cashed our checks and drank them away on friday nights.

10. Around 1-2 pm, my boss would ask for volunteers

Who wants to go to Chicago.

i would take it because i didn’t want to ever refuse, and besides, why not?

and finally i was the fairly safe driver and had experience with the treacherous I-90 between Janesville and Madison.

[mopinko]

11. is that the part where if you miss your exit you end up in beloit?

[Tetrachloride]

12. Certainly there's some interesting exits

i did miss a turn once on the south side of Rockford and ended up heading west.

that was my only miss in the region

i don’t think its TOO complicated but no sleeping either

with phones and good vehicles to drive, and WATER, i did well.

Janesville going north is twisted and has a lot of construction, . …. it’s been a couple years.

one of my 3 most hated stretches of road in Wisconsin , about 40 miles total

Wisconsin Dells is number 2. 15 miles total.

Neenah Menasha Appleton is number 3.

13. Abbott is adding an extra layer of shit by sending them to the suburbs.

Many of Chicago's suburbs tend to be run by more conservative people. Judging by the statement from EGV's mayor, they're no exception. He's blaming this mess on state and local officials, rather than on the despicable motherfucker who is sending these poor people in the first place. I hope this whole thing winds up blowing up in Abbott's ugly-ass face.
