Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Thursday condemned the “cynical, disgraceful tactic” of Southern Republican governors busing asylum seekers to Chicago, adding that resources are needed to offset the “considerable” costs to the county’s health care system.
Preckwinkle, who is up for reelection next month, called on the federal government to address the influx of migrants at the southern border. She said the governors of Texas and Florida have used the busing tactic as a pre-election stunt.
