This one shocked me, although it shouldn't have.
Fed up with having Chicago police officers “babysit” asylum-seekers, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara on Thursday proposed an alternative to district stations: allowing hundreds of migrants to sleep in the lobbies and open hallways at City Hall...
In the last week alone, the number of new migrant arrivals who’ve taken up temporary residence at Chicago police stations has increased 6% to 1,100.
Deputy chief of staff Cristina Pacione-Zayas has warned that Chicago could experience a fivefold increase in arriving migrants — 10 busloads per day, up from two — sent here by Republican governors...
Wait, what?
There are illegals living in the Chicago police stations? Hmm. Were the police stations being used for anything else? I mean, if you combine a hostel and a police station, what do you get?
You get a city that is being confronted with the fruits of its own ideological fantasies. It's only going to get worse with the influx increasing by a factor of 5.
That's OK as long as you remember that no human is illegal, right?

A note:
ReplyDeleteIllegal immigrants are people who sneak across the border, avoid the immigration authorities, and try to hide in the general population without attracting official attention. They are breaking the law.
Asylum-seekers are people who cross the border and turn themselves in to the immigration authorities, requesting asylum from their home countries. There is a legal process for this. While this may be a poorly-thought-out and badly-implemented process that results in all sorts of issues like you are describing above, it is nevertheless legal. These people are not breaking the law.
