Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson lashed out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday, saying the Republican leader was creating "chaos" around the country over his bussing program that has transported thousands of asylum seekers from border towns to Democratically-led cities.
Speaking at an unrelated news conference, Johnson said migrants were being brought to Chicago in unhealthy conditions and have strained city programs and resources.
"They come to the city of Chicago, where we have homelessness, we have mental health clinics that have been shut down and closed," he said.
