CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Another busload of migrants arrived in Chicago Thursday night.

A dozen busses have now been sent to Chicago, carrying hundreds of migrants. Senator Dick Durbin said they’re being used as pawns and it needs to stop.

"The fact that they would turn them loose in the city of Chicago, for example, without any warning whatsoever. Families with small Children were literally dumped at the train station in Chicago by the Governor of Texas," Durbin said.

Earlier this week, Governor JB Pritzker signed a disaster declaration and mobilized members of the National Guard to assist with the migrants.
