Biden Administration to Help Migrants Adjust to Life in Chicago by Handing Out Firearms

In a move aimed at addressing the humanitarian needs of migrants, the Biden Administration took a significant step this week by announcing a new initiative that will provide essential supplies to individuals bussed from Texas to Chicago.

We welcome these measures taken by the Biden Administration to ensure the safety of those traveling through our city," said the Mayor, “and we look forward to seeing all the wonderful ways our newest residents will use these firearms to add to our great city’s nightly symphony of bullets.”

This move comes as part of broader efforts to address the complexities of migration and underscores the Biden Administration's commitment to a pragmatic approach to immigration challenges.
