Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot demanded that Joe Biden “step up” and provide federal funds for illegals sent by bus to her city.
“I know that they’re under enormous pressures, this is not a new challenge at the border, but this is a new challenge for us and we need federal support. Resources, communication, and collaboration, and that has to come in short order,” she told reporters.
The House Democrats attempted to blame the issue on Republicans whom they called “xenophobes” for daring to share the burden of Biden’s constant waves of illegals with areas of the country that have never had to suffer the influx seen daily by border states.
Garcia’s Chicago has labeled itself a “sanctuary city” for nearly a decade, already, but the congressman says that now that illegals are actually coming, the city needs more federal dollars to “ensure their food, shelter and other basic needs are covered.”
