The left has no shame. Disgusting. Abbott is definitely winning this battle. Ideology meets NIMBY.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot bashed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the holiday weekend on the basis of his religion, claiming that the state's migrant busing initiative went against the premise of Christianity.
Lightfoot, a Democrat, blasted the Republican after a second bus of migrants was dropped off in the Illinois city. Just over 100 migrants have been dropped off in Chicago over the past week, compared to the 1 million who have been released into the United States along the southern border since President Joe Biden took office. Migrants released into Texas border towns have placed a burden on local transportation and housing, prompting the state to offer free transportation to several northern U.S. cities.
"He professes to be a Christian," Lightfoot said during a press conference Sunday. "This is not the Christianity and the teachings of the Bible that I know. And I think religious leaders all across the country are standing up and denouncing exactly this."
Her attack comes days after first calling him "racist" and in the wake of the Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas, busing migrants with money provided by the Biden administration.
Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday that Lightfoot's attack on his faith was a "pathetic political ploy" to distract from her "unwillingness to uphold her city’s self-declared sanctuary status." Chicago has been a sanctuary zone since 1985 and will not cooperate with federal law enforcement officers who enforce immigration laws.
