Kane County GOP issues statement on suburban migrant drop-offs

Kane County Republican Party leadership issued a statement Dec. 23 regarding the drop-off of 38 migrants on a bus sent from Texas to the Elburn Metra train station Dec. 21.

The incident has been mirrored in other Chicago suburbs recently after the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance Dec. 13 prohibiting buses from arriving and dropping people off in the city with no prior notice.

“Kane County witnessed yet another incident where busloads of migrants were callously dumped here from the U.S. border without prior warning or care for their well-being,” the statement said. “This is not an act of compassion but a systematic failure.”

Signed by Andro Lerario, chairman of the Kane County Republican Central Committee, the statement added, “The flood of migrants streaming into our country, all thanks to the Biden administration’s wide-open border policy, is enraging. This issue is no longer confined to the distant border; it’s happening right here in our neighborhoods.”
