Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is complaining that his city is being given no notice about when or how many illegal immigrants are arriving in his city. This raises a pretty concerning question: Does Brandon Johnson know how illegal immigration works?
Johnson is complaining that buses and planes from Texas bringing illegal immigrants to Chicago are arriving without warning. Can you imagine illegal immigrants arriving in large numbers without city officials receiving any warning or being able to prepare to accommodate them? That would surely be frustrating.

Meanwhile, thousands of illegal immigrants arrive in Texas border towns every day with no advance warning. They don’t have reservations. They don’t announce their arrivals. In fact, many are trying to get in unseen and unaccounted for. Combine that with the sheer volume arriving on the border compared to the pathetic fraction Chicago is receiving, and the situation at the border is clearly far worse than Chicago could even dream.
And all of this is being encouraged by Johnson. He has declared Chicago a sanctuary city, an open invitation for illegal immigrants to flock to the city. In order to do that, they must cross into Texas, overwhelming border towns in the process. Chicago is encouraging illegal immigration, as is every other sanctuary city, and leading to millions crossing into Texas with no warning. So why, then, is it so unfair that Texas is showing Chicago exactly what that looks like?

Again, all of this whining from Johnson that Chicago is being burdened with unexpected arrivals and doesn’t have the resources to combat this problem is being done over a minuscule fraction of illegal immigrants that less wealthy Texas border towns are seeing every day. Johnson is putting pressure on President Joe Biden because immigration is a federal problem, and Biden has failed on it in every way, but Johnson still refuses to stop encouraging illegal immigration and renounce Chicago’s “sanctuary” status. He is trying to have it both ways.
Either Johnson should stop his whining and admit that becoming a sanctuary city and inviting illegal immigrants in droves was a mistake, or he should stop his whining and accept all the illegal immigrants he has invited. In either situation, he has no right to complain about anything because this is the policy that he and Chicago Democrats have chosen.
