Will Texas governor flood Chicago with migrants just in time for DNC?
CHICAGO -- Five days ahead of the start of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago , city leaders signaled they are ready for anything thrown at them.But one big question looms—will Texas Gov. Greg Abbott flood the city with buses of migrants?Abbott has been shipping migrants to Chicago for two years. For almost as long, there has been an expectation he would use Chicago 's week in the spotlight for the DNC to double down.
Chishti said number one, Abbott may not have enough people in Texas to send, and number two, word has filtered to those making the trek that sanctuary cities have cracked down on how long people can stay in shelters.'That message, I think, has filtered down. Social media is very important in this kind of story,' said Chishti. 'The fact that news travels fast in the right migrant community also made people not be willing to come to Chicago as easily were last year or the year before.
