With Texas Governor Greg Abbott busing illegal aliens to Chicago, elected officials in Illinois have been scrambling to find a solution to this problem.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has come up with a novel idea. Namely, “emergency housing” for illegal aliens in addition to “health care screenings, the offer of COVID-19 vaccines and … additional legal resettlement assistance.” Pritzker’s proposal comes during a time when Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has labeled Abbott’s deployment of migrant buses “racist and xenophobic”, “immoral”, and “unpatriotic.”
For those unaware, Chicago is a sanctuary city where illegal aliens are shielded from deportation or prosecution, despite federal immigration laws on the books.
BLP has previously reported on Abbott sending illegal aliens to New York City and Washington DC as a way to have these cities pull their weight as Texas’ resources are over-stretched in trying to contain the never-ending deluge of migrants invading the country from the south. This invasion is largely facilitated by the Biden regime’s lax migration policies.
As John Binder of Breitbart News noted, “Pritzker’s pledge of emergency housing for migrants comes as Chicagoans face sky-high rents and housing costs.” Recent reports point to Chicagoans paying roughly 20% more in rent in 2022 compared to the previous.
Currently, the average rent in Chicago is over $2,900, which marks a roughly 20% rise in the cost of rent compared to 2021. Binder observed that “Rents in Chicago have increased so much that tenants are forming unions to fight their landlords and the city.”
Mass migration increases housing demand, especially in urban centers that are job magnets for migrants. Real estate investors will often make major bank off of this influx of migrants who put upward pressure on housing prices.
For urban Democrats, this doesn’t matter. They’re already the party of finance capital and the great replacement, so they end up […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
