Chicago leaders are facing backlash over hundreds of migrants being housed at O'Hare International Airport, one of the nation's busiest airports.
Chicago reporter William Kelly joined "Fox & Friends" Thursday to discuss what the city has been experiencing as a result of the influx of migrants.
More than 400 migrants are reportedly being housed in a section of the airport, hidden from public view behind black curtains, up from 31 at the beginning of August.

So those dystopian stories were actually prophetic.

Good.
Soon, business travelers, or travelers in general, will want to avoid the crime infested, disease infested airport. And then how will the communists who rule Chicago continue to fund the Lightbringer’s monument..?

It is just a matter of time before the government mandates housing illegal aliens in private homes!
Mark my words!

It's breathtaking just how much damage that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have done to this country.

What did all these sanctimonious liberal "Sanctuary" cities and states think was going on in the border states? I LOVE that they are getting a chance to "walk the talk"!

As if travel weren't hellish enough these days, without hordes of illegals waiting to greet us as we shlep off of dirty airplanes with (frequently) rude cabin crews.
If my flight is canceled, will the "amnesty seekers" now get first dibs on vouchers for meals and hotel rooms?

I'll wager one can certainly smell them long before seeing any black curtains.

JonR…has anyone watched or read Dr. Zhivago ? The doctor came home from helping in the war and his home had been divided into apts for whoever the “housing commissioner “ deemed should live there. My prediction? If we allow the Democrats and their minions to continue to take over the country….you will HAVE to take an invader into your home.

Seriously, who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? Where did this corrupt administration think all these illegals were going to go? They knew this would create chaos but they didn’t care. The goal was to bring the country to its knees. Looks like they are pretty successful in that endeavor. Each and every illegal alien who walked across the southern border should be immediately deported regardless of their status. Throw them out and ban them from entering this country ever again.

Between Mayor Dimwit of Chicago, Mayor Bass of LA and the little Fancy Dancer that runs New York City, Americans are witnessing the failure of once-beautiful cities that have fallen into chaos due to the incompetence of inept democrat policies and the extreme damage that open borders and sanctuary cities can do in a short time. We enjoyed some amusement when the Euros were suffering from this stupidity and beautiful countries like Britain, France, Spain, Italy and Sweden succumbed to the depravity that unlimited voluntary Muslim invasions brought them and now, here we are in the same boat. If this is the beginning of the New World Order, it's a horrible existence and we haven't come close to the endgame yet.

I went on an international trip a few years back and flew to O'Hare on the first leg. Coming from Detroit where the airport has been less than inspiring until just recently, I was amazed at what a palace O Hare was.
No more, apparently.

Why not use the same money being used to house them...to deport them?

Since they're already at O'Hare, load them onto transport planes and dump them at the southern tip of South America.

Lots of calls for more money to house and feed them. No calls to deport them. And not a word about finishing the wall and securing the border.

Unlawfully entering the country and then complaining about the food and housing they’re being given for free (courtesy of unwilling taxpayers) is not getting much sympathy. Quite the opposite. The hotel rooms they’ve occupied have been trashed beyond belief. Sleeping on the floor at the airport might be a great solution. Buy them all a ticket.

great!!! comparing real life to a movie, how much dumber can these politicians in Chicago get but the demcommies have had a free reign to do whatever they want for so many years and make corruption the standard of governing, it's almost absurd to think that they will change very soon, too many people have gotten fat, dumb and wealthy using this system so .... no chance it will end anytime soon

20 years ago I had to hire around 30 people in the summers, they had to fill out forms showing they were legal Americans. If I was caught hiring someone who was not there were severe penalties. I assume those laws still exist but are not enforced? There is the problem, if these people can not find jobs and are not given welfare they will go back from where they came--maybe not all but most.

Unfortunately the leftist and socialist Democrats look at mass uncontrolled illegal immigration as being the creator of tens of millions of future poor and uneducated Third World origin leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters who are in need of many forms of government provided benefits and welfare support who can easily be transitioned to embrace the leftist and socialist Democrat political agenda, and with their tens of millions of future votes in U.S. elections, will keep the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political control in DC and as many parts of the country as possible. What other reasons would the 101% politically partisan and corrupt Biden and his leftist Democrat crew have for ignoring the US customs and immigration laws by allowing the USA to be flooded with untold millions of illegal aliens?

Read the headline to the Lady Chihuahua and her comment was 'Why O'Hare?'. Answer: Because of name recognition. Look for accosted passengers and stolen luggage. Look for travel disruptions. Possibly nationwide. Look for gangs, cartels and terrorists to show up at O'Hare. Look for another 'crisis' where the feds swoop in to 'save the day'. This is a setup.

Wouldn't it cost less to deport them than to house/feed/educate/entertain/employ them? So, if all things were sane and we didn't have the destroyers in charge, what would be the barrier to deporting them? Because they request asylum? Can we deport someone who requests asylum? And if not, can we change that law?

People understandably question how this could be allowed, but consider who's running these cities.

The Mayors of Chicago, NY, and LA are fully capable of handling an immigrant crisis, or any crisis for that matter. Very impressive group of mayors.

Chicago's mayor is an idiot...and everyone knows it...he is happy to have a big house and jobs for his family and friends...paid by the taxpayers...but...he's running out of money and will ask obama to print more cash....and big Pharma...Pfizer...is not doing so well with their new covid-19 scare...Americans know better this time...even a fake covid diagnosis for Jill ain't moving the numbers....

The leftist and socialist Democrat Mayors in whose Sanctuary Cities where the Migrants (illegal aliens) are showing up don’t want the illegal aliens to be deported in accordance with the immigration laws, what they want is an unlimited amount of billions of federal dollars to be showered upon them by the U.S. Congress and Biden to provide the illegal aliens with all sorts of growing welfare benefits and services on into the future, with the leftist and socialist Democrats in DC designing “path to citizenship” amnesty and legalization programs that would transform as many of today’s illegal aliens into tomorrow’s leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters who fully embrace the leftist and socialist Democrat political agenda by the tens of millions, keeping the leftist and socialist Democrats in federal and local controlling political power on into the future.
