WATCH: chicagosmayor Lori Lightfoot is not happy about the 75 newest illegal residents bussed in from the US/Mexico border, even though she says the sanctuary city “welcomes hundreds of migrants” a year, reports MariaLeaf.
And while Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Thursday they will be"welcomed with open arms," she had a strong message for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott "and his enablers."
"With these continued political stunts, Gov. Abbott has confirmed what, unfortunately, many of us had already known. That he is a man without any morals, humanity, or shame," Lightfoot said. She added that the Texas governor transporting those largely coming from Venezuela to her city is"racist and xenophobic" and then called him"unpatriotic" before shaming the bus companies for being"complicit for being a part of this indignity.

"Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them," a statement from Abbott said.

Progress on one of Mexico's most notorious cases of forced kidnappings appeared to play out earlier this month as a former attorney general was arrested and charged in connection with the 2014 disappearance of 43 student teachers presumed dead. But with 52,000 unidentified bodies and 105,000 people reported missing - 5,000 of those added since last May, according to official data - activists say much more needs to be done.
