On Sunday, Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared on CBS News' “Face the Nation” and called out Confederates to complain about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sending illegal immigrants to his city.
It is strange that Johnson is focusing his anger on Abbott rather than Joe Biden, who created this humanitarian disaster.
“But what we can't have is the governor of Texas acting the way he's acting,” Johnson said. “Quite frankly, rogue buses being dropped off across this country in the middle of the night are leaving people with no real support at all, and no coordination with local municipalities.” “This kind of chaos is definitely dividing our country.”

“What is very clear is that not only are we providing mental health services as well as vaccinations and health screenings and providing medical health care to these families when they arrive the moment they get off those buses, we are not seeing the same treatment within limits.”
“In other words, there are no health checks, no vaccinations, and this process at the border is very poor and reckless.”
“But we can't have a governor who decides he's going to cling to his monuments [Confederate President] Jefferson Davis, when we should be clinging to the hopes and aspirations she left behind [black abolitionist] Frederick Douglass.”
“We must have a coordinated response to this humanitarian crisis. We cannot allow chaos to rule and divide this country.”

Although sanctuary city mayors like Johnson and Eric Adams in New York have begged for financial aid from the Biden administration for their cities, somehow border communities must foot all the costs and infrastructure requirements themselves, or they are racist.
A record number of illegal immigrants crossed the southern border in December.
According to CBP, there have been more than 276,000 encounters with illegal aliens at the southern border this month, with just days to go. This means that more than 300,000 illegal immigrants may have crossed the border by the time the full numbers arrive.
Previously, September held the record with 269,735 illegal alien encounters. Apparently, Joe Biden wanted to beat his own record.
