Shelters Closing

They're calling it a "merging" of systems, probably so Conehead can steer more money into fewer connected pockets:

• The city will end designated shelters for newly arrived asylum-seekers by the end of this year, part of the city’s anticipated plan to merge its shelter systems, Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Monday at a news conference.

  The transition of the two shelter systems — one for newly arrived immigrants and another for unhoused people in Chicago — will start this week with changes that include offering first-time placement in a migrant shelter only to those who have been in the United States less than 30 days.

  The merger into the One System Initiative comes two years after former Mayor Lori Lightfoot set up temporary shelters to house newly arrived migrants that were sent to Chicago on buses and planes by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican aiming to send immigrants to cities led by Democrats.

As long as it doesn't end up with Police Station lobbies full of illegals, bedbugs and tuberculosis strains.

We're thinking the other reason Conehead feels comfortable doing this now is what the internal polling numbers show at the national level - there probably won't be nearly as many illegals in another couple of months.
