Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago expressed dissatisfaction during a recent interview concerning the decision made by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott to transfer migrants to Chicago. The mayor likened the governor’s actions to those of the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, asserting that such divisive tactics are harmful and not in line with the progression symbolized by renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Mayor Johnson highlighted the need for coordinated efforts to address what he sees as a humanitarian crisis and prevent discord within our nation.

Johnson’s comments came during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation.” He pointed out what he perceives as concerning disparities: Migrants transferred to Chicago don’t receive equivalent health services as they would at the border, even though he acknowledged that conditions on ground at the US-Mexico divide are far from exemplary, describing them as “raggedy and reckless”.

In an initiative dubbed ‘Operation Lone Star’, Governor Abbott has sought to spotlight immigration issues on a national scale by relocating migrants to blue cities around the country via buses and planes. The first wave of this operation saw 120 migrants transported from Texas to Chicago.

According to officials supporting ‘Operation Lone Star’, their goal is primarily aimed at offsetting perceived failures by President Biden’s administration in securing the border. In contrast, Mayor Johnson sees this move as a deliberate ploy by Governor Abbott to incite chaos. He decried what he considers an absence of coordination between Texan authorities implementing this strategy and local officials in receiving cities such as his own.

Beyond verbal reproaches, Johnson argues that numerous cities including New York, Washington D.C., along with his own city of Chicago are ill-equipped economically for influxes like these ones. Over 20k migrants arrived into Chicago from last year up until now – a condition which according to him is unsustainable.

The mayor criticized Abbott’s focus on stirring confusion using poorly planned processes – such as moving large numbers of people through buses and flights. He called these activities a dangerous task and pressed the claims that such actions could pose significant threats to national security.

Johnson reaffirmed the need for strategic procedures in addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by storms of migrants.
