ROCKFORD, Ill. (WLS) – Eight migrant buses were in route to Chicago Sunday morning after a plane from Texas carrying over 300 asylum seekers landed in Rockford overnight.
The migrants were flown from Texas to Illinois in a jumbo jet, landing at Rockford International Airport, Rockford ABC affiliate WTVO reported.
The migrant crisis Chicago has been grappling with has once again made its way to the suburbs.
After the plane landed, the passengers were reportedly immediately put on buses heading to Chicago’s landing zone near West Polk Street and South Desplaines Street.
The City of Chicago issued a statement Sunday afternoon, saying that city officials had been notified by Rockford of the plane’s arrival. Eight buses from Rockford have dropped off migrants in multiple suburbs on the way to Chicago, but they have not yet reached Chicago, city officials said.
I’m glad they are going to a sanctuary city.
Texas: we could send them back to their country OR we could allow them in and send them to another state.
Therefore, Texas: illegal immigration is OK and we support it.
Also Texas: WAAAAA 😭😭😭😭
…because you and your ilk have repeatedly shown open hostility towards desperate people, and now there’s people who will show them compassion?
I’ll agree that immigration is broken and needs overhaul (especially for green cards & visas) but throwing a shit fit and using humans as political props is not helping.
Seriously, give them more! It’s what those cities want!
