New Chicago mayor shooting barbs over migrants at Eric Adams

The mayor of Chicago slammed recent apocalyptic comments by New York Mayor Eric Adams about the large number of migrants arriving in his city.

Adams said the growing influx of migrants will “destroy” New York. But Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson took a far more compassionate approach, urging in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times that they should be welcomed.

“We are a city of big shoulders,” Johnson said. “We’ve been through difficult moments and challenges before. And we’re going to get to the other side of this. I’m confident of that … I was elected to lead. This is not a challenge that will overwhelm us,” Johnson said.

Johnson underscored the importance of not abandoning incoming migrants without housing and work permits, which he warned risked triggering chaos.
