Can We Landfill Into Indiana?

stateline
That's a satellite view of Chicago's Calumet Park, and that dotted line is the "border" with Indiana, which runs through the waves of Lake Michigan. If Chicago could just extend that park a little, with some landfill perhaps, could we be a two-state city?

I believe the legal answer is no,
but it might be fun to give it a go.

(There is already a town called East Chicago, Indiana. As well as a West Chicago, Illinois, and a North Chicago, Illinois. And then there are 2 versions of "New Chicago, California" which seem to involve a ghost town and a real estate hoax.)
