Chicago Mayor: Abbott's Migrant Busing Is a 'Manufactured Crisis'

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot decried on Saturday Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's busing of migrants to Chicago as "un-American," according to The Hill.

Speaking on CNN, Lightfoot told host Pamela Brown that migrants are being placed on buses with a "lack of dignity ... to an unknown destination with very little food, very little water."

"What I don't like to see is people taking these cross-country trips, getting off the bus and being immediately taken to the hospital because they were put on the buses with delicate medical conditions that no one in Texas seemed to care anything about. That is simply not right, and it's un-American."

Lightfoot added, "This is a manufactured crisis on the part of Gov. Abbott. We can all do our part. And I believe that we all must do our part. But we've got to do it with collaboration, with cooperation."
