   The Governor of Illinois has begged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop   
   bussing migrants to his state ahead of a life-threatening winter storm.   
      
   Governor JB Pritzker warned carrying out the policy amid plunging   
   temperatures is jeopardizing the safety of migrant children and   
   families.   
      
   And with the mercury set to plummet even further at the weekend, he has   
   begged Abbott 'for mercy' on behalf of the thousands of migrants   
   arriving in Texas who are due to be sent off to Illinois' sanctuary   
   cities.   
      
   Storm Gerri has already brought extreme weather to the Midwest. On   
   Saturday temperatures in Chicago are expected to drop to just -2F. Many   
   of the migrants being dropped off in Illinois are arriving without coats   
   or winter shoes, Governor Pritzker warned.   
      
   'Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people's lives, suspend   
   your transports and do not send more people to our state,' he wrote in   
   an open letter to Governor Abbot on Friday.   
      
   The Illinois official acknowledged the border situation for southern   
   states is 'untenable' and agreed both states feel there is a need for   
   federal reform on immigration.   
      
   'We should be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to urge   
   Congress to act,' Pritzker wrote. 'But right now, we are talking about   
   human beings and their survival. I hope we can at least agree on saving   
   lives right now.   
      
   But he accused Abbott of using the migrant crisis to score political   
   points   
      
   'You seem to have no interest in working on bipartisan solutions to the   
   border crisis because that would put an end to your cruel political   
   game, but I am writing to you today hoping to appeal to your humanity,'   
   he added.   
      
   The policy of bussing migrants north to sanctuary cities such as   
   Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York began in 2022 under Operation   
   Lonestar.   
      
   Pritzker said the tactic had seen the state overwhelmed by drop-offs 'at   
   improper locations at all hours of the night' without any notice.   
      
   'As we grapple with the existing challenges of your ongoing manufactured   
   crisis, the next few days are a threat to the families and children you   
   are sending here. I am pleading with you to at least pause these   
   transports to save live,' Pritzker wrote.   
      
   He stated that the leaders should be able to 'come together in a   
   bipartisan fashion to urge Congress to act'.   
      
   Impeach Biden and Harris!  Execute open border activists.  Kill them   
   all.
