The Democratic mayors of Chicago and Denver accused Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of sowing “chaos” by busing and flying migrants who illegally crossed the southern border to theirs and different cities.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston conceded there was an immigration disaster with a document inflow of unlawful crossings however mentioned the shock arrivals of migrants of their cities was an intentional and merciless effort to overwhelm them.
Mr. Johnson mentioned one other airplane that introduced extra migrants in a single day was a “very dangerous task” by the governor.
“Gov. Abbott is determined to sow seeds of chaos,” the Chicago chief mentioned on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Mr. Abbott and different Republican officers have argued that transporting migrants as they surge in document numbers throughout the U.S.-Mexico border attracts consideration to the problem and what Republican officers are calling the Biden administration’s coverage failures.
“We understand the flow is coming,” mentioned Mr. Johnston, the Denver chief government. “We just want it to be coordinated, and in a humanitarian way, which we think makes it effective for the city and for those newcomers. That means things like arriving 8:00 to 5:00, Monday to Friday, with notice.”
