Illinois gov. issues 18th 30-day migrant disaster proclamation
The migrant disaster orders follow more than three years of emergency orders Pritzker issued during the pandemic.
Illinois has been under some form of a gubernatorial disaster proclamation for most of the past four years, giving the Pritzker administration sweeping emergency powers to spend taxpayer dollars. Some are looking for a change.
Since September 2022, Gov. J.B. Pritzker has issued 30-day disaster proclamations addressing the ongoing migrant crisis. His most recent proclamation expired Monday. Friday, he issued his 18th disaster proclamation.
“[B]etween August 31, 2022, and January 5, 2023, nearly thirty-thousand individuals and families seeking asylum have arrived in Chicago from Texas with little to no notice,” the declaration said.
That's 6,000 more non-citizen migrants coming to Illinois than in the prior month's disaster proclamation. The first disaster issued in September 2022 said there were "numerous" new arrivals. The order issued October 2022 said there were 3,000 persons transported to Illinois. The new tally is nearly 30,000 arrivals since August 2022.

A Horrible Contagious Illness is Spreading Through Portland, Oregon’s Homeless Population
Portland, Oregon has a serious homeless problem and now it’s about to get worse. Much worse.
The disease of Shigella is spreading in the city, mostly through the homeless population, and to make matters worse, it spreads in a disgusting way, through fecal matter.
Aside from the ethical matter of allowing people to live on the street, one of the biggest issues is the threat to public health. This is why you don’t want a large population of people living in tents and using streets as a bathroom.
