9 more buses carrying migrants arrive in Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Nine more buses carrying people arrived in Chicago Friday. That's the most ever in one day. 

There are already more than 2,000 migrants in the area who are unhoused, not including new arrivals. 

The city is considering hiring local nonprofits and grass roots groups to operate new shelters.
