The “winterized base camps” were officially suggested by Mayor Brandon Johnson as a way to get thousands of migrants out of police stations and provide them shelter as colder temperatures arrive.

About 3,100 migrants are sleeping in police station lobbies and at O’Hare Airport, according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications. There are more than 11,900 people living in city-run shelters as of Tuesday — up from 6,600 on Aug. 31.

So freeing up police resources is a bad thing now?

CITY HALL — The city’s move to turn a South Side vacant lot into a migrant tent camp was approved by the City Council Tuesday.

Alderpeople united behind a plan to buy a 6.5-acre site at 115th and Halsted streets for $1 from New Albertsons LLC to convert the land into a migrant encampment capable of holding as many as 1,500 people in winterized tents.

It's not even using up land that was useful. It's an abandoned strip mall, bought for cheap.
