Migrants Chicago: Grundy County places signs along I-55 to ward off buses as suburbs make own plans

ELBURN, Ill. (WLS) -- Grundy County has joined other Chicago suburbs in an effort to deter buses from dropping off migrants from Texas outside of the city.

As the rhetoric surrounding this issue grows more heated, a growing number of suburbs are convening emergency meetings and taking action to keep those migrant buses away.

This comes after more than 30 buses have dropped off hundreds of migrants all over the map at all hours of the day with no warning.

Alderman Brian Hopkins appeared on CNN and was critical of the White House, saying efforts this week to engage Mexican officials come a year too late.

"I'm a Democrat, but I'll say the Biden administration has absolutely dropped the ball. I'm not going to let him off the hook. They have, they have left us in the ditch with this, and that's unacceptable," he said.

Hopkins and other Chicago alderpersons said they're expecting an update on the crisis in a call with the mayor's office in the morning. A mayor's spokesperson did not respond to our request for comment.

The INVASION was just a southern border problem until the horde was bused and airlifted to the “Sanctuary $hitties”.

The INVASION was just a “Sanctuary $hitty” problem until the horde was bused to the ‘burbs.

“The village of Elburn also voted to demand five days advanced notice of a bus arrival and background checks of migrants on board.”

I believe that is illegal to do.

Elburn is 45 miles west of Chicago.

Grundy County is southwest of Joliet.

In either case, far from Chicago.

“The village of Elburn…voted to demand…”

That’s funny, all 3.73 square miles of it. How long does it take to walk through? As if the bus can’t drop illegals off before THAT border…

Governments normally require a permit for an Amendment I protest.

There’s a Van Galder Bus Terminal in Rockford right off of I-90. No way can you stop buses from dropping folks off there. Then they can hop on and go to Chicago or O’Hare, or stay in Rockford. (Not that I want that, Rockford has its own problems, and isn’t part of the Chicago machine).

Listen up invaders:

If you arrive in a suburb of Chicago in winter you better have relatives there, cash or a bank card.

Oh yeah, those used to be called “Sundown towns”.

As in signs on the edge of town saying “N-word, don’t let the sun go down on you”.

Send them to the neighborhood of any high Dem donor area.
Go county by county just to see how those white elites quickly ‘build a wall’ when it’s in their backyard.

“No migrant buses this exit”? And local police will be watching for them coming into town without permission?

Time for some Freedom Riders. This sounds like Selma Alabama in the 1950s. Or Vidor Texas back then “Whites Only After Dark.”

Very progressive there Illinois.

They are being dumped in small towns too.

Colorado mountain town says it can't handle 125 arriving migrants (Carbondale)
