    Pritzker is a woke shitbag and deserves zero consideration. Double
    the buses!

    The Governor of Illinois has begged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop
    bussing migrants to his state ahead of a life-threatening winter storm.

    Governor JB Pritzker warned carrying out the policy amid plunging
    temperatures is jeopardizing the safety of migrant children and
    families.

    And with the mercury set to plummet even further at the weekend, he has
    begged Abbott 'for mercy' on behalf of the thousands of migrants
    arriving in Texas who are due to be sent off to Illinois' sanctuary
    cities.

    Storm Gerri has already brought extreme weather to the Midwest. On
    Saturday temperatures in Chicago are expected to drop to just -2F. Many
    of the migrants being dropped off in Illinois are arriving without coats
    or winter shoes, Governor Pritzker warned.

    'Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people's lives, suspend
    your transports and do not send more people to our state,' he wrote in
    an open letter to Governor Abbot on Friday.

    The Illinois official acknowledged the border situation for southern
    states is 'untenable' and agreed both states feel there is a need for
    federal reform on immigration.

    'We should be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to urge
    Congress to act,' Pritzker wrote. 'But right now, we are talking about
    human beings and their survival. I hope we can at least agree on saving
    lives right now.

    But he accused Abbott of using the migrant crisis to score political
    points

    'You seem to have no interest in working on bipartisan solutions to the
    border crisis because that would put an end to your cruel political
    game, but I am writing to you today hoping to appeal to your humanity,'
    he added.

    The policy of bussing migrants north to sanctuary cities such as
    Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York began in 2022 under Operation
    Lonestar.

    Pritzker said the tactic had seen the state overwhelmed by drop-offs 'at improper locations at all hours of the night' without any notice.

    'As we grapple with the existing challenges of your ongoing manufactured crisis, the next few days are a threat to the families and children you
    are sending here. I am pleading with you to at least pause these
    transports to save live,' Pritzker wrote.

    He stated that the leaders should be able to 'come together in a
    bipartisan fashion to urge Congress to act'.

    Impeach Biden and Harris! Execute open border activists. Kill them
    all.
