Gotta admit, this is a funny comeback (in a schoolyard argument kind of way).
Of course, it opens her up to some pretty hilarious comparisons about which direction most people are voluntarily moving between Illinois and Texas.

Quote:Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Pledges To ‘Drain Texas Of All Of Its Residents’ Amid Abbott’s Busing Effort
“I’m happy to take and drain Texas of all of its residents. I wouldn’t want to live in a state with a governor like that,” Lightfoot said Thursday at the Salvation Army in Chicago.
“So we welcome Texans to Chicago and we’ll rent the buses next time to bring them here,” she added.
“Instead of treating these individuals with respect that they deserve and the due process that our laws require, Governor Abbott chose to inhumanely load them onto buses, send them on a more than 12 hour journey across a country that they don’t know, to drop them off without any regard for what the next steps are,” Lightfoot said.
Those people aren't Texans.

Lol. But there are some actual Texans Chicago might appeal to. Sounds like Ms Lightfoot has issued an invitation to become a drop off point for new releases from the Texas Department of Corrections.
Well then - Abbott should take her up on that and start filling up those busses.
Beetle Juice is playing a dangerous game (for her state's residents) of chicken. If Abbott calls her bluff, it is gonna get really ugly, real fast.

What a clueless clown comparing Texans to undocumented illegal asylum seekers is ludicrous.
I seriously doubt you could fill up one bus of Texans to get them to relocate to Chicago.

He will. Not a doubt in my mind.
Greg Abbott vs a low IQ fish eyed Beetlejuice looking moron.
What’s the spread on this one? Need to get a huge bet down!
The better news for these Blue Cities is that Texas seems to have an endless supply of these people thanks to Biden’s open border policy.
I believe St. Louis’ mayor also threw her city’s hat in the ring for these folks as well. Doubt Lightfoot will be the last mayor to state this. For one it’s a great way to virtue signal, also they figure Abbott won’t do it. Waiting for Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval to jump in on this.

I don’t think they refer to them as residents there.
I think it’s called “Targets”.

We're sending all the Guatemala residents to Chicago, NY and DC, not Texas residents.
Nobody with a brain thinks these are anything but economic immigrants. They are coached by non-profits to lie and cheat to claim refugee status.

The more the merrier, The virtue signaling will cease when the arrivals start to significantly impact those politicians reelection prospects.
