Chicago’s O’Hare Airport used as a migrant shelter as crisis overwhelms city: ‘Like a scene from Mad Max’ Reporter William Kelly says Brandon Johnson has become the ‘migrants’ mayor’
Chicago mayor ripped as immigration crisis hits major cities: ‘The migrants’ mayor’
Chicago reporter William Kelly joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss the immigration crisis spreading across the country as more than 400 migrants are being housed at O’Hare International Airport.
Chicago leaders are facing backlash over hundreds of migrants being housed at O’Hare International Airport, one of the nation’s busiest airports.
Chicago reporter William Kelly joined “Fox & Friends” Thursday to discuss what the city has been experiencing as a result of the influx of migrants.
More than 400 migrants are reportedly being housed in a section of the airport, hidden from public view behind black curtains, up from 31 at the beginning of August.
Kelly said the airport is one of only 18 migrant shelters in Chicago and that homeless Americans are no longer allowed to stay at the airport. The city previously struggled with an influx of homeless people at the airport but initiated a crackdown earlier this year after then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced criticism.
“Mayor Johnson campaigned as the people’s mayor. Sadly, the people are telling me that he’s the migrants’ mayor,” said Kelly.
Kelly said he does not think the same security and background checks that Americans go through at airports apply to migrants. Meanwhile, the city continues to struggle with crime and to recover from the coronavirus lockdowns.
“There are millions upon millions of dollars being spent on this migrant crisis. Nobody knows where the money is going, or what it’s being spent on.”
Kelly said he has been unable to receive answers from the mayor.
“Sadly, Mayor Johnson must have taken Mayor Lightfoot’s course at Harvard on media relations, because he won’t answer my questions.”
