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.
Why are refugees and illegal immigrants a state responsibility?
Shouldn’t it be handled federally? Why is there no department for handling this sort of thing instead of Texas having supreme decision making in their fates?
The federal government gives a lot of money to Texas for exactly this. The federal government basically goes “eh, it’s not worth it for us to try to do, since the state will be able to respond more agilely than the feds. So we’ll give them the money we would spend, and let them figure it out.”
The issue is that Greg Abbott is a greedy little man child who wants m̶̡̢̢̻̝͓̩̗̜̰͙̣͔͚̯̮̮̭͍̒͂̃̉̂́̏͒̇͐́͜͜͝ͅǫ̵̨̡̡̧̥̭̻̣̗͈̳͖͚͚̩͍̹̝̗̰̜̜͙͇͐͐̍́́̽͆͗̇͗̔̚̚͝͝͠r̷̨̦̭͔̲̖̠͍͓̞̺̗̺̼͉̓̿̊̌̈́͆̎̃̄̍͂͜͜ͅȩ̵̡̢̫̳͎͕͙̻͙͈̩͕̰̳͚͚̝͍̲̠̟̫͖̮̖̞͉̾̑͆͆͜ money.
The federal government doesn’t have the rights to run said programs I would assume. A good example is FEMA. When a hurricane comes in FEMA cannot just go into a state and start doing what is needed, it violates the states rights. So FEMA has to follow the orders of the state and drop supplies and aid wherever directed by the state. A good example of this falling apart was when FEMA shipped aid to Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria I think it was. There was not a good system of distribution set up and FEMA had no rights to take over in said actions. So a lot of water and other supplies quite literally got piled up on the side of runways and left there for months and months while the people needed it.
This is a problem no one actually wants to fix, all political sides and their corporate owners benefit from a massive influx of migrants illegal or otherwise. The only people paying the price is the working class, which the ruling class has no problems shitting all over.
“Illegal” immigrants depress wages, especially when you strip them of rights.
Those illegals are going to come here and take all the jobs we didn’t want to do!
