Could Chicago migrants go to St. Louis?
Cities like Chicago and New York have more migrants than they can handle. St. Louis says it would like more migrants to come to town.
Migrants who enter the U.S. at the southern border often endure difficult weeks-long or months-long journeys through Latin America.
