A charter bus company hired by the state of Texas to transport migrants to Chicago is trying to flip the script on the border crisis in a federal lawsuit against the city alleging that its ordinance banning unannounced migrant drop-offs is unconstitutional and punishes transportation companies working with Texas, court documents show.
Wynne Transportation LLC is fighting new restrictions in Chicago against buses dropping off one-way passengers without prior notice.
The ordinance does not specifically mention immigration, but city leaders have acknowledged it is in response to the influx of more than 30,000 migrants arriving from Texas on government-contracted charter buses, often dropped off on street corners with little or no notice.
I really have wondered why this aspect. If they are illegal, then the feds should be handling them, and footing the bill. If they are legal it sure does get a bit grey. Sure it is a burden on texas for having a border. But they also get a ton of money from commerce generated by being on the border. Seems fair they foot the bill for the legal migrants.
