Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is “stressed out” and has been admitted to the hospital for panic attacks. That’s according to veteran Chicago journalists John Kass and Anita Padilla, who discussed Johnson’s panic attacks on an episode of WGN-AM’s Chicago Way Podcast.
“The mayor’s panic attacks? Can we talk about that?” Kass said. “No amount of anti-depressants can cure him of (Chicago’s illegal alien) problem.”
...
“Two sources told me that he has been in the hospital for these panic attacks. He is stressed out,” Padilla said. “This is a big, big job for him. He’s not ready for it. He’s not a leader. I’m sorry. This immigration issue is not helping him at all."
I guess this is something else for which Abbott will get the blame when the illegality clearly lies with the BidenAdmin.
Everybody made fun of Lightfoot, but I can’t imagine her having panic attacks. Whenever she was briefed about all the murders in her city, or the illegals running rampant, I’m sure she laughed about it all and slept like a baby.
Johnson helped kill a city council measure to reverse Chicago’s “sanctuary city” designation last month, but nonetheless has been vocal about the unsustainable burden Chicago is facing from the influx of illegal aliens. He asked the Biden Administration for $15 billion, and disclosed his intention to use $95 million in COVID funding to deal with the crisis (which will likely be used to “house” illegal aliens.)
The influx of illegal aliens into Chicago has pushed shelters that house these aliens “to their limit,” reported ABC 7 Chicago.
The “housing” of the illegal aliens isn’t going too well for Johnson, as American Greatness reported last month that a 5-year-old boy died and several other children were hospitalized after falling ill at a temporary migrant shelter in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.
But there's more...
As of September 2023, “Border Patrol agents have seized enough fentanyl to kill the entire U.S. population this fiscal year,” reported Fox News.
...
That deadly drug is finding its way to Johnson’s state, as a recent analysis found Illinois ranks 6th in the country for fentanyl deaths, with more than 3,000 Illinoians dying of fentanyl overdoses from April 2022 to April 2023.
I bet if Johnson reversed his stance and said all of this is Biden's fault, Abbott would stop sending the illegals there. It's probably more trouble doing the logistics, because at the end of the day - the number being sent to Chicago is a drop in the bucket to what Texas is dealing with.
