Brandon Johnson thinks it is ‘wicked’ to help illegal immigrants reach his sanctuary city

Freshly inaugurated Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says Chicago is a welcoming place for illegal immigrants, but he also says that helping illegal immigrants reach his sanctuary city is cruel and evil.
Chicago is a sanctuary city, which is why Texas has been busing illegal immigrants to it while trying to relieve the strain on smaller border towns. But Johnson finds this despicable, claiming, “It’s wicked. It’s unconscionable. But as you all know, the city of Chicago is coming together to make sure that people who wish to find real comfort here in the city of Chicago, that we provide that.”
THE ALARMING LINK BETWEEN SCHIZOPHRENIA AND MARIJUANA
Here is what Johnson’s campaign website said about immigration and Chicago’s sanctuary city status: “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city and welcome immigrants and refugees, and treat them with dignity and respect. This sanctuary promise must extend to everyone who needs it in our city, and residents both old and new.”
How are these two quotes not contradictory? Why would it be “wicked” to help illegal immigrants travel to a city that promises to “treat them with dignity and respect”? Why would it be “unconscionable” to help illegal immigrants reach a city that extends its “sanctuary promise” to “everyone who needs it,” including “residents both old and new”? In this case, is Texas not doing those illegal immigrants a favor by sending them to such an accepting sanctuary city, free of charge?

In reality, this is Johnson trying to do the same dance that New York City and Washington, D.C., have been doing. He has to continue to posture that this is no big deal, even though outgoing mayor Lori Lightfoot already declared that Chicago “reached a breaking point” with illegal immigrant arrivals. He wants to try and shame Texas into stopping the practice because he can’t admit that his “sanctuary promise must extend to everyone who needs it” was a performative sham.
Johnson already telegraphed that he would be completely out of his depth when he said that violent rioters assaulting people in the streets were just being “silly” like middle school children. He is nothing more than the personification of shallow progressive talking points, and he already can’t get those points in concert with illegal immigration and his “sanctuary promise.”
