This is feeling like a big failure from the Biden administration. Not because too many migrants were let in but because it appears they were given no Federal assistance in finding long-term shelter or work. There's probably plenty of both in the US but it's not all in Chicago. Immigration could've easily made staying within their "designated state" a condition of asylum and therefore making busing them out of state a federal offense.

The big problem is they have no real status. He actually should have just made a central location with dorms and a court house and send people there and they stay until their status gets worked out.
