CHICAGO — Governor JB Pritzker said the state of Illinois has spent $328 million to help manage Chicago's migrant crisis and he's calling on the federal government to pitch in. Pritzker said on Thursday he has concerns about the $29 million 'base camp' planned to house the migrants currently living in Chicago police stations, but the governor didn't publicly explain what his concerns are. The City of Chicago has received more than 15,000 migrants. Some pointing to Republican governors for sending migrants to Chicago, but the democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas, chartered two buses of migrants to the city last weekend.
