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.

Maybe we need actual immigration handling? Like great big loads to judges and social welfare agents. Get all immigrants processed, setup with housing, and a supportive community within a short period of time.

Do the same for Americans. Throw in a UBI, health care, and life skill coaching.

It is a digression, but U6 unemployment is still at 7%.

But then useful idiots will complain prices will go up.

They never consider that profits may go down.

Maybe we should point that out.

Every time a company is mentioned, print the profits and layoffs over the year?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Cause the profits cant decrease, they have to increase exponentially forever and ever.
