Mayor Brandon Johnson will hold a meeting Thursday to plan a trip to the border to see the migrant crisis first-hand.Mayor Brandon Johnson said Wednesday that he will be making a trip to the border to see the migrant crisis first-hand.Johnson revealed he is going to the southern border soon, but he would not provide any specifics.
"So, going to the border is to make sure that everybody knows that my administration is committed to making sure that we are putting together the full force of government at every single level to ensure that these families, who, by the way, they're not illegal, they're asylum seekers, they are protected by international law," Johnson said.
Already, more than 17,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago, with up to 22 more buses expected to arrive Wednesday. "Based upon our interactions thus far. It is becoming increasingly clear that those who want to disrupt our democracy are committed to doing that; it's a real mission of theirs. And so our hope is that we will continue to get more resources and a stronger commitment from the federal government to be able to provide us with the support that the people of Chicago need," Johnson said.
Johnson also expressed frustration at unnamed critics who have questioned the allocation of resources to migrants to what the city is providing to Black Chicagoans.
