Racist Mayor Baby Groot Immediately Sends Illegal Aliens from Texas to a Neighboring Illinois Town -- Without Asking the Mayor for Permission, Or Even Informing Him

Baby Groot said it was racist for Abbot to send illegal aliens to Chicago.

That means it's also racist for Baby Groot to immediately "re-bus" them and send them to Burr Ridge, Illinois.

WGN Investigates has learned several dozen of the migrants Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent to Chicago have now been relocated to a hotel in the suburbs without advance warning to the local mayor.

"I am concerned neither the village administrator nor I were told about this," Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso told WGN. "We want to know: Why Burr Ridge?"

Here, let me take a wild stab in the dark at that:

The 5 largest ethnic groups in Burr Ridge, IL are White (Non-Hispanic) (75.5%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (14.7%), White (Hispanic) (3.43%), Two+ (Non-Hispanic) (2.78%), and Other (Hispanic) (1.16%).

Is Burr Ridge IL wealthy?

Burr Ridge (formerly Harvester) is a village in Cook and DuPage counties in the U.S. state of Illinois. A suburb of Chicago, it is among the wealthiest towns in Illinois and is locally known for its large, elegant mansions and luxury lifestyles. Per the 2020 census, the population was 11,192.

This is all of you right now: "Oh my God Ace your brain is just so throbbing and pulsey with Hot Facts..."

Just days ago, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted Abbott for treating the migrants like "cargo" and not providing her with advance notice they were arriving.

"My frustration comes from the actions of the governor of Texas," Lightfoot said Sunday, when the first bus load of 50 migrants arrived. "There could be a level of coordination and cooperation, but he chooses to do none of those things and instead tries to send human beings -- not cargo, not freight -- human beings across the country to an uncertain destination."

Chicago is a so-called sanctuary city and so is Cook County. Local officials have passed laws meant to protect immigrants from deportation. However, the portion of Burr Ridge where many of the migrants are staying is actually in DuPage County.

On Thursday night, Illinois GOP candidate for governor Darren Bailey released the following statement.

"No city can handle this on their own, but Illinoisans are doing what we always do and helping those who need help. The failures lie with J.B. Pritzker and his pal Joe Biden who has created a crisis at the border. Pritzker should demand that Biden secure the border and in the meantime, provide the resources to care for these people. If J.B. won't do that, he should put them in one of his Hyatt's on his own dime."
