Several migrant buses were in route to Chicago Sunday morning after a plane from Texas carrying over 300 asylum seekers landed in Rockford overnight.
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.

You know this is going to back fire on Texas, states might require permits or taxes to travel to and from a state.
They can't. several supreme court cases already give aeright to travel. Immigration belongs to the federal government
Somebody should explain that to all the Texas towns trying to ban traveling out of state for an abortion.
I don’t think those are gonna work either.
Just put toll booths in at the border to Illinois from all directions. It's almost impossible to travel across the u.s. without going through Illinois or going way out of your way to avoid it.
Which ones
I'm not sure whether that would be a feasible solution. The undocumented part of "undocumented immgrant" is a result of immigrants bypassing a similar system when entering the country.
"Hey let's find a solution to our broken immigration system"
Texas: "nope send dem to dem LiBeRaLs"
"Wow Texas youre so smart, you're totally not trafficking people like the cartels"
They should just secede and become a desert version of North korea.
Edit:corrected
They should just succeed and become a desert version of North korea.
Do you mean secede?
What?

I'm just waiting for the /s
Ha-ha.
As I understand it, this is a suggestion that it would be okay for states to take blatantly unconstitutional action in retribution for the likely criminal acts of the Texas state government. I’m hoping that I’m wrong, because that’s nuts.
blatantly unconstitutional action
In this economy? Surely no one would do that, lest they face the consequences.
Consequences.
Consequences... why does that word seem so strange now?
Consequences... why does that word seem so strange now?
We are most certainly like-minded in that regard.
If unconstitutional action is something that Democrats and Republicans see as necessary, authoritarianism has won, and everyone/everything else has lost.
Meh, it's a comment from an anonymous rando on the Internet. I'm a lot more concerned with the fact that the state of Texas is in the human trafficking business than OP's comment.
That would be pretty unconstitutional.
bans travel to other states for an abortion
having busses travel from other states is unconstitutional
Pick a lane
Banning travel to other states for an abortion is also very clearly unconstitutional. There are still pretty big differences between restricting travel from specific states for something that is completely legal (driving a bus) and restricting your citizens from going outside your state to do something that is illegal in your state (abortion). One is a matter of jurisdiction while the other is a matter of travel restriction.
