If Mayor Brandon Johnson really wants to get a handle on the mounting migrant crisis in Chicago, he can start by scrapping his plan to visit the nation’s southern border to get an alleged “firsthand” look at the issue.
That’s because Chicagoans already know what’s happening down there: a humanitarian emergency is being politically exploited by a Republican governor (and GOP leaders) who would rather callously send asylum-seekers to big cities with Democratic mayors than work with President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress to fix the issue.
