39. The point of the ordinances is safety

Safe drop-offs. I'm not sure why you say "I guess no more migrants coming into Chicago now." That's not the point of these ordinances. The point is to establish very simple safety regulations for what has been demonstrably a completely reckless and dangerous practice. Yes, the bus companies have responded to the ordinances by moving around to suburbs. They've also responded by following the Chicago ordinances. They are sensitive to the fines and seizures. Now the suburbs are very clearly responding with their own ordinances. When the Illinois suburbs have coordinated ordinances, then the bus companies will either move some more (maybe to Indiana, as your post upthread speculated) or ultimately follow the very simple and reasonable ordinances.

It's remarkable that you seem to think the last thing the bus companies would ever do is follow the local ordinances designed to ensure safe arrivals. Why wouldn't they?
