Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot bashed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the holiday weekend on the basis of his religion, claiming that the state's migrant busing initiative went against the premise of Christianity.
Lightfoot, a Democrat, blasted the Republican after a second bus of migrants was dropped off in the Illinois city. Just over 100 migrants have been dropped off in Chicago over the past week, compared to the 1 million who have been released into the United States along the southern border since President Joe Biden took office.(Snip) "He professes to be a Christian," Lightfoot said during a press conference Sunday. "This is not the Christianity

Far be it from me to question one's Christianity, but Mayor Beetlejuice loses me at the "Thou Shalt Not Murder" commandment. She certainly looks the other way as dozens of her citizens are murdered, many innocently, each month in her city.
And her big issue is a bus or two of migrants? Talk to the good people of Del Rio and Eagle Pass, Texas who see the equivalent of their entire city population enter within several days.

Lori, please be reminded that chicago is a sanctuary city. That means you, YOUR CITY, receives federal dollars to accept those seeking sanctuary. Wheres the problem here. You get what You are paid for.

I love it when atheist lie-berals (add homosexuals to the mix for even more laughs) try to tell Christians what is "being Christian"!!!!
Every one of these illegal aliens that get on these busses do so voluntarily. Nobody forces them to go. They just believe the lie-beral BS that Chicago (and other Demon-Rat run cities are "sanctuary paradises") and gladly want to go there.
So, Mayor Beetlejuice, do the "Christian" thing and make them feel welcome!!!!!

Pravda portrays Gov. Abbott as a border hawk, despite doing nothing at all to stop "migrants" from entering the USA, or better still, returning them to Mexico or somewhere offshore. That's because like Boy George and Rick "Gov. Goodhair" Perry before him, the powers that be love actors who puff up while leaving the gate wide open. Same deal in NYC; Pravda and the city government blame Greg Abbott, but that's a deflection because 90% of the "migrants" were flown there under cover of darkness by the federal government.

While Beetlejuice talks up Christianity, she should use the mantra 'threat to democracy' that's a new favorite of the left and Joe Fraud Benito Mussolini.

Didn't the mayor declare Chicago to be a sanctuary city? All Abbott is doing is let her city be just that. What is she whining about? I think she should worry more about how un-Christian it is to let her citizens get slaughtered and do nothing about it

Chicago can't get any worse than it already is. Who knows, maybe those migrants will stand up to those gang bangers in Chicago and teach them a lesson -- that's probably what Lightfoot is worried about -- she's worried about her constituent who votes her into office.

I do feel sending innocent migrants to Chicago could be construed as cruel and unusual punishment. Hey, even Da Bears are ready to leave Chicago.

Lightfoot basically shouts 'Not in my backyard' at the same time criticizing the Christianity of Abbott. Talk about hypocrisy.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Lightfool in this. How evil of Abbott to send those poor illegal alien invaders to Chicago. They leave one third-world hellhole then get sent to another third-world hellhole that is probably worse than the one they left.

Send 5 bus loads a day to Lori. Anything you can do to aggregate this BB will help. Every sanctuary city can afford this influx and they know it. Their loaded with federal dollars.

Why would she have any objection at all to this? Chicago being a sanctuary city to begin with…
But haven’t liberals been touting the virtues of immigrants who enter the US without going through customs or legal process? Haven’t they criticized everyone who objects to the notion as being racist? If she objects to them being bussed to Chicago, then how isn’t she admitting that they’re an unpleasant burden? And how does she expect other states and cities to suffer them cheerfully when she won’t?
She’s a pathetic elitist hypocrite. But I’m just playing Captain Obvious.

I would suggest her staff not stand too close to her, because she is mocking God, and that never ends well. See the Titanic as the most recent historic example of those who mock or challenge the Lord and His power.
You are probably the worst mayor in the history of Chicago, and to whine about democrat policies now reaching your turf is epic irony. Share the misery of the red states Beetlejuice, you and the rest of you democrat cities have earned it.

Abbott has no statutory authority to "close the gates." Biden has both the authority and responsibility , vis-a-vis federal law to close the gates but he refuses to enforce the law in direct contravention of the Constitution's Take Care Clause in Article 2, Section 3: "Take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Article 2 is not written for state governors, like Abbott or DeSantis, to enforce federal laws; it specifically vests the power of the executive branch in the office of the president of the United States, lays out the procedures for electing and removing the president, and establishes the president's powers and responsibilities.

Some might question her Christianity, based on Scripture's judgment of her private life, Genesis 19:1-11. That's not me personally, but it might be best for her and others not to question each other's faith. What say Madame Mayor?

Lightfoot should attack Biden, who has been landing plane loads all over the country. But mostly in Texas, which he is trying to destroy. And he wonders why he is hated.

Biden professes to be a Catholic and look what he has done to the border states. Why the double standard, Lori?

Governor Abbott better watch out because Mayor Splinter will bring God's wrath upon thee. Give me a beak. This is an atheist ugly troll of a "woman" who for years has said that Chicongo is a sanctuary city. She should welcome the illegal aliens being bussed there by the good TX Governor. But much like the racist hypocrite in NYC she will try to get into it with Abbott. She's finding out that you don't mess with Texas.
