Texas plans to send MORE flights to Chicago after city started to cite bus companies and enact ordinances to slow arrivals as tit-for-tat between states intensifies

Texas may be getting the last laugh in a show-down with Chicago officials over transporting migrants away from beleaguered border towns to the Windy City after flying asylum-seekers from El Paso to Chicago last week.

Despite strict ordinances penalizing charter buses loaded with migrants heading into Illinois, buses and planes with migrants are bound for Chicago as we speak, El Paso officials confirmed to DailyMail.com.

El Paso has sent 139 buses to Chicago in recent months with the help of state officials, according to the City of El Paso's migrant dashboard.

Last week, the Texas Division of Emergency Management or TDEM, which handles migrant transports, chartered its first flight with migrants to Chicago to avoid growing restrictions over when and where migrants can be dropped off.

'TDEM basically flipped it; they said if we're going to have problems with buses, we are going to send flights,' John Martin, who runs the Opportunity Center for the Homeless in El Paso, told DailyMail.com in an interview Tuesday.

In recent weeks, the City of Chicago and suburbs like Aurora and Tinley Park started fining charter bus companies that don't give them advance warning of where and when asylum-seekers would be arriving.

'They (migrants) have to be respected, they have to be taken care, but this is ultimately the bus company's responsibility,' Tinley Park Village Manager Pat Carr to Chicago's NBC station.

'They're the ones who are trafficking these people up here.'

The new rules resulted in one bus being impounded and dozens of citations.

In El Paso, migrants at the Opportunity Center, one of three non-profit shelters that are bursting with recent border crossers, are still signing up to go to the Windy City.

'The (migrants) that are under care have a desire to go to Chicago,' Martin stated.

No one is illegal. Embrace the diversity.

“Embrace the diversity.”

Diversity is our strength. Where would we be today without diversity? (Is /s necessary?)

A diverse metal alloy can be carefully engineered for great strength, but a socialismo melting pot alloy: not happening.

Pull up to a truck stop, let them out should you refuel. Drive off. Use random drop points.

“ to avoid growing restrictions over when and where migrants can be dropped off.”

Ordinances that passengers cannot get off the bus in their town? Sounds really Jim Crow to me. And I bet a cursory look shows the other bus companies let passengers on and off. If a group charters a bus, stops at a lunch spot, is it illegal for the passengers to get off? Or to refuse to reboard? Is the bus company there chattel slave owner?

Oh hell no. The north pushes for open borders, that is where they belong. They didn’t make that trip to live in El Paso or Eagle Pass. They belong up north if they are going to be let into America at all.

Texas gets the last laugh in a show-down with Chicago over the MO of transporting migrants......
after the friendly “sanctuary city” enacted strict ordinances penalizing “charter buses loaded with migrants” heading into Illinois.

Texas is now “flying migrants” away from overwhelmed border towns to the Windy City.....
flying in asylum-seekers from El Paso to Chicago just last week.

Planes with migrants are bound for Chicago as we speak, El Paso confirmed to DailyMail.com.


Chicago went berserk after El Paso sent 139 buses to Chicago in recent months, according to the City of El Paso’s migrant dashboard.

We here in MN do not see the deficiency you speak of. We are already overrun with illegal alien immigrants and have been for quite some time (think a few decades now).

Look to any state with heavily “democrat” (or more specifically liberal/progressive) government and large inner-cities and you’ll see the policies attracting them.

It’s pretty simple: follow the money.

Sorry, just seems that the StPaul mentality would go along.
Perhaps bitch slapped by Hussein Osama’s ‘Make MN not White campaign”

Two wrongs still don’t make a right. Letting into the US…Wrong. Spreading them out to anyplace inside the US, using my tax dollars…Wrong. The only right is to deport them back there their country of origin.

Chicago outlawed the buses going into Chicago, so now the local news is reporting that the buses are stopping in suburbs with a commuter train station, then buying the illegals a train ticket to downtown Chicago.

Can't wait to see reports about the Chicago Gestapo checking iD's on all arriving commuter train passengers. The Work From Home people have another argument against going into the office.

Next, send them over by C-130 and parachute the illegals in.

The lily white commuters in Naperville and Schaumburg are gonna love that.

Drop them off at the Chicago City Hall with signs that read “We deserve housing”.
Then sit back and film when the politicians order the police to remove the crowd.
