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.

    So you’re saying the only way to stop Texas from being a shithole is to not vote for Biden?

      Nah, they’re just saying Biden is going to be silent. The “not Biden” choice won’t be silent, but in the other direction. This author is right to call out the inaction of Biden, because that is the situation.
