Two Chicago suburbs rejected busloads of immigrants that arrived from El Paso, Texas, over the past week as the city and Illinois as a whole continue to face an influx of illegal immigrants from the southern border.
Several buses arrived at the Metra stations in Cicero, Illinois, and Rosemont, Illinois, near the O'Hare International Airport's remote parking area, according to the Chicago Tribune. Rosemont police allowed the immigrants to get off the bus if there was someone picking them up, but officers threatened to impound the bus and arrest the driver for endangering the passengers if he let them out, Mayor Brad Stephens said.
This is the latest display of suburbs resisting the increase of illegal immigrants trickling into towns from Chicago, where almost 26,000 immigrants have arrived since August. With most of them homeless, the immigrants have taken shelter at police stations and the airport.
Suburbs such as Schaumburg, Illinois, and Elk Grove Village, Illinois, have passed ordinances preventing illegal immigrants from being housed in hotels. Elk Grove officials also passed an ordinance preventing immigrants from residing in the village without a doctor's certification that they don't carry infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. The village has blocked its many factories and shopping centers from housing immigrants, bought a hotel that immigrants were staying in, and demolished it, according to the local newspaper.

LOL
so true
I LOVE THEN IDEA:
BUY THE HOTEL & DEMOLISH IT.
“This is the latest display of suburbs resisting the increase of illegal immigrants trickling into towns from Chicago, where almost 26,000 immigrants have arrived since August. With most of them homeless, the immigrants have taken shelter at police stations and the airport.” ... Saying thousands of illegals “trickled into” an area seems absurd. Obviously, they’re being bussed in by some entity - but who’s doing it? I’d like to see names of those furthering this deluge, followed by charges filed against them.
I lived in that general area for 20 years ending in 1992. It was pretty conservative those years. Not so much anymore but
not suicidal...even for Cook County.
Illegal as hell for cops to trap people in the bus, and demand health papers. If a Texas town did the same Fedzilla would descend on them in full fury. But whatever... go 50 feet outside the city limits and let them out.
Yeah,.......that was brilliant. That person should be president.

Of course it is. they will lose the lawsuits because of discrimination.
You do not want to piss off the residents of Rosemont. Most of them are “made”.
Seriously?
I wasn’t aware that there was much a Mob presence still remaining in Chicagoland.
Bus them over to the Metra at Big Timber. No huge police force nearby, and the aliens can only head towards Chicago (Big Timber was the terminus, last I checked.)
“... arrest the driver for endangering the passengers if he let them out ...”
Probably some truth to that statement. After all ChiCongo kills and/or mains a couple dozen of it’s citizens every week. A non-english speaking, unarmed person is easy pickings for marauding bands of bros ...
Imagine the outrage if these were black people instead of Latinos....................

Various news reports that an increasing number of these illegals are African.
Bus drivers must follow federal CDL duty time regulations. When the driver’s time runs out, he should inform the local cops that he is following federal regulations and is leaving. The passengers are now the popo’s problem.
EC
And Caribbean as well. But still a minority of the whole................
Buying that hotel, and demolishing it is the very definition of “proactive”-—don’t know the long-term wisdom of it though. I’m a contractor, and preservationist, and don’t like to see things demolished.
“ I wasn’t aware that there was much a Mob presence still remaining in Chicagoland.”
Believe me, they’re still there. And Rosemont is home to many of them. How do you think that huge casino ended up there?

Chicago-area suburbs reject busloads of immigrants.
Futile move your asleep at 3:00am deal with it.
Stop taking the busload of illegals to a bus station. Drop’em off along MLK Blvd.
