ABC7
— Taxpayers foot bill for relocating migrants who want to leave Chicago – Chuck Goudie and Barb Markoff, Christine Tressel, Tom Jones, Maggie Green and Adriana Aguilar
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-migrants-paying-for-migrant-crisis-texas/14373445/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s the secret side of Chicago’s migrant crisis. Some migrants who arrive here don’t want to stay. Some asylum-seekers coming to Chicago from the border, at a sizable cost to government agencies, are then going somewhere else. The ABC7 I-Team asked Illinois state officials for information on how many migrants are coming and going. An ABC7 data investigation reveals this double migration, the coming and going, is running up the tab for a crisis that already caught Illinois by surprise, and continues to stretch government resources and finances. . .The I-Team filed an open records request to find out how many migrants are leaving Illinois, what that costs and who’s paying? According to the Illinois Department of Human Services, migrant travel costs in the Chicago area, including people leaving by bus, plane and train, total more than $775,000. And when additional travel related expenses such as rideshares are factored in, it’s almost $850,000 of taxpayer money that has been spent on migrants moving out of Chicago. State officials say 4,327 migrants have now come and gone. That is more than 10% of the migrants sent to Chicago over the last year and a half. . .Catholic Charities has provided some of the logistical help in relocating migrants from Illinois. A spokesperson for Gov. JB Pritzker tells the I-Team that before leaving here, Illinois authorities make sure there is a friend or family member on the other end to receive the asylum-seekers, wherever they’re going. Records show many of the migrants leaving Illinois are going to New York, Florida and Georgia. And some are going back to Texas.)

DAILY HERALD
— House GOP is moving quickly to impeach Mayorkas as border security becomes top election issue – AP (COMMENT: Mayorkas is an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders. Charles Bowsher was an operative for Democrat and RINO leaders while he ran GAO 1981-1996. Bowsher ever-increasingly destroyed GAO and especially under Clinton 1993-1996 and under Gingrich 1995-1996. GAO is less than a shell of what it once was. Bowsher used Democrat and RINO budget cuts, Affirmative Action, DEI, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination to get rid of GAO’s employees who were conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time. He got rid of GAO employees who had accounting degrees, were CPAs, did not have Ivy League degrees, and/or who he had not promoted into his Senior Executive Service, currently $191,900/year, by age 40. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

They took many very big adverse actions against me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
