>> MAYOR BRANDON JOHNS HAS PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2024.

SET ASIDE 150 MILLION DOLLARS TO COVER THE COST OF SHELTERING FEEDING AND CARING FOR THE FAMILY SENT TO CHICAGO FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

HOWEVER, THAT IS LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THE CITY EXPECTS TO SPEND TO CARE FOR.

CHICAGO'S NEWEST ARRIVALS TO THE END OF THIS YEAR.

>> CHICAGO IS THE PLACE STRONG ENOUGH TO WELCOME AND EMBRACE NEWCOMERS WHILE HONORING OUR COMMITMENTS TO THOSE WHO ALREADY YEAR, ESPECIALLY RESIDENTS, COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE LONG SUFFERED FROM NEGLECT AND DISINVESTMENT.

>> WBTW NEWS REPORTER HEATHER SHARON JOINS US NOW WITH THE LATEST ON THE ESCALATING CRISIS.

NOW, HEATHER, WANT TO START OFF.

GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE STATE OF THE MIGRANT CRISIS.

>> IN THE PAST WEEK, CHICAGO, HE'S GOTTEN 63 BUSES FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER CARRYING MORE THAN 3600 PEOPLE THAT HAS EXPLODED.

THE NUMBER OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN FORCED TO WAIT IN POLICE STATIONS AND AT O'HARE AIRPORT FOR A SPACE IN ONE OF THE CITY SHELTERS IN ALL MORE THAN 3700 PEOPLE ARE IN POLICE STATIONS AT THE AIRPORT.

WELL, NEARLY ANOTHER 11,000 PEOPLE ARE IN CITY SHELTERS.

THAT NUMBER JUST KEEPS JOHNSON ASKED THE CITY COUNCIL EMBARK ON 150 MILLION TO CARE FOR THE MIGRANTS NEXT YEAR.

>> THAT WON'T BE ENOUGH MONEY.

WILL IT?

HEATHER?

>> NO, IT WON'T.

EVEN BY THE MAYOR'S OWN PROJECTIONS, THE CITY IS GOING TO NEED AT LEAST 200 MILLION DOLLARS TO CARE FOR THE MIGRANTS AND EVEN THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 363 MILLION DOLLARS.

THE CITY EXPECTS TO SPEND THROUGH THE END OF DECEMBER TO CARE FOR THE MIGRANTS.

NOW I ASKED FIRST DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, CHRISTINE, A PASS THE OWNS.

I WHY THE CITY DID NOT ASK WHY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, SHOULD SAY, DIDN'T ASK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE FULL AMOUNT AND SHE SAID IT WAS PURPOSEFUL TO PUT THE GOVERNOR'S ON NOTICE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON NOTICE THAT THE COST OF CARING FOR THESE PEOPLE SENT TO CHICAGO SHOULD NOT SOLELY ON THE SHOULDERS.

A CHICAGO TAXPAYERS AND THAT THE CITY DESPERATELY NEEDS MORE HELP.

>> AND AT THIS POINT, WHAT ARE CHANCES THAT THE STATE WILL SEND ADDITIONAL MONEY TO THE CITY TO CARE?

>> 4.

>> HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF ASYLUM SEEKERS.

>> IT'S UNCLEAR AT BEST THOSE GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER AND HOUSE PIEPER EMANUEL.

CHRIS WELCH TOLD REPORTERS THIS WEEK THAT THEY DO NOT PLAN TO MOVE A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET MEASURE THROUGH THE FALL VETO SESSION, WHICH IS COMING UP IN JUST A FEW DAYS.

INSTEAD OF CHRISTINA POSSE OWNS EYES, TOLD ME THAT SHE THINKS THERE ARE OTHER WAYS FOR THE STATE PROVIDES CHICAGO WITH ADDITIONAL AID, PERHAPS BY SWEEPING UP MONEY AND SPENT BUT APPROPRIATED FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

>> AND LAST QUESTION HERE, WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE MAYOR'S PLAN TO OPEN THESE MASSIVE TENSE?

>> WELL, THAT PLAN WAS ANNOUNCED MORE THAN A MONTH AGO.

NOW THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS YET TO IDENTIFY WHERE THOSE WINTERIZED BASE CAMPS WOULD GO.

WE ASK CHRISTINA POSSE OWNS EYES WHAT THE HOLDUP WAS.

SHE SAID TO EXPECT AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN HATLEY AS THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS WORKING TO FINALIZE ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS.
