#1,680 - Major blue states hemorrhaging tax base as red states reap rewards

Ousted Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott pleading with him to stop sending migrants to the Windy City.

In the letter posted to Twitter on Sunday, Lightfoot urged Abbott to reconsider 'this dangerous and inhumane action.'

She sympathized with the border towns in Texas dealing with the issue, but said it won't be resolved by passing on the responsibility to other cities.

The southwest land border has seen 1,223,067 migrant encounters this year so far and saw 2,378,944 encounters in 2022.

Lightfoot argued that Chicago already has 8,000 migrants to care for and lacks the additional shelters and other resources to fully accommodate more migrants in the city, which she says Abbott is doing for political motivations.

Last fall, Abbott began sending migrant buses to sanctuary cities across the country, including Chicago, New York City and Washington, D.C. He has said he will continue to do so until the border is secure.
