Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker calls on Biden to address 'untenable' migrant crisis
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson demanded immediate action from the White House to address the migrant crisis in Chicago, citing the record number of migrant buses arriving in the city.
The Biden administration has been urged by Pritzker and Johnson to follow New York's best practices in helping migrants obtain work permits, but concerns remain about the overwhelming influx of migrants in Chicago.
Pritzker called on the federal government to provide coordinated support and take over the situation at the border, as Illinois struggles to accommodate and provide aid to the increasing number of migrants.
