Local police stations as well as Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport have been turned into makeshift migrant accommodation in the windy city’. Some of the police stations have been closed down due to recent outbreaks of scabies, with concerns that the iconic airport is next to shutter.
O’Hare is hosting hundreds of migrants, who are using airport restrooms as communal bathrooms as well as sleeping on cardboard bedding on terminal floors and staying for weeks at a time. The airport has seen black cloth walls erected in public areas, meant to hide the migrants from view.
Scabies is not the only disease being carried across the southern border by the migrant wave, however, with sheriffs reporting “all types of diseases like tuberculosis, scabies, COVID, hepatitis A and B, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps, chicken pox, [and] dengue fever” among the illegal arrivals.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker vowed to “stand up for sanctuary cities and make Illinois a welcoming place” in 2018, and shared remarks by Hillary Clinton about “tearing down barriers” instead of “building walls” in 2016. Chicago Mayor Johnson, similarly, insisted “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city” as recently as March.
Both Democrats are now complaining they are at “breaking point”, however, as conservative border states that never supported their open borders platform are taking them at their word and sending them a small portion of the migrants crossing over from Mexico daily.
