Chicago is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing BACK to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused jobs, with 20,700 border crossers so-far bused to Dem-run 'sanctuary city'

Wait for winter!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs.

Tell your friends not to come.

Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants.

Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

Venezuela-born Michael Castejon, 39, and his family have been sleeping on the floors of police stations and shelters after he could not afford to pay rent in Chicago - because his work permit was taking so long to arrive. The family was renting an apartment through a city voucher program, that gives up to $15,000 for up to six months of rental assistance - but once it ran out, they had to give up their living space. The dad found a job in construction, and he was getting paid in cash, but it wasn't enough to sustain his family since they arrived in June.

After five months of rough living with no end in sight, the family decided to pack up their belongings and return to South America, realizing that 'there's nothing here for us.'

Castejon said the failed journey to settle in the US had not been worth it, despite the extreme poverty and an authoritarian regime they were living under in Venezuela. After months of begging for money and crossing borders, the dreams that he had heard of from other migrants had failed to materialize for him, he revealed.

Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune: 'The American Dream doesn't exist anymore. There's nothing here for us.

'We didn't know things would be this hard. I thought the process was faster,' he said about the job permit situation in Chicago.

'How many more months of living in the streets will it take? No, no more. It's better that I leave. At least I have my mother back home.

'We just want to be home. If we're going to be sleeping in the streets here, we'd rather be sleeping in the streets over there.'

Castejon's stepdaughter Andrea Carolina Sevilla could not find a school to be enrolled in when they arrived in the US, despite one of the reasons they left their native home was to give her a better education.

This comes at a fraught time for Chicago and its residents.

Furious protesters stormed a Chicago City Council meeting last week during a debate about whether the city should remain a sanctuary for migrants. The meeting was called after 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale - who oversees a district in the predominantly-black South Side - proposed an advisory referendum that would ask voters during the March primary if Chicago should keep its sanctuary city status.

Progressives in Chicago are outraged that a move to end Chicago's status as a sanctuary city is even being considered for a ballot. But many of the city's residents - including a large number of those who are themselves ethnic minorities - are keen to end the Windy City's sanctuary city status.

Many residents expressed frustration about the millions of dollars the city was spending on migrant shelters instead of Chicago's most impoverished communities. As of September, there were about 20 active migrant shelters in the city. Seven were located on the historically underserved South and West sides.

More than 20,000 migrants have touched down in Chicago since last year. While most hail from Venezuela, they come from all over the world, including Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

The city has allocated $4 million to help migrants find temporary housing, and the state has contributed another $38 million.

Since August 2022, Chicago has opened its doors to tens of thousands of migrants sent by Abbott and non-government organizations in states such as Colorado and New York. The majority are seeking asylum 'due to US foreign policy that has created unstable economic and political conditions compromising their safety and forcing them to travel thousands of miles to safety,' the City of Chicago website reads.

It adds: 'U.S. cities have not traditionally had the infrastructure to resettle high numbers of immigrants and refugees. This is federal responsibility.'

#1 The ideal outcome for Chicago politicians! Migrants (customers of government services) are starting to leave while state and federal dollars are beginning to arrive. More opportunity for graft ... On top of that, by the time our new Tent Cities get built for Winter, it will be Spring and lots of dollars will have lined lots of local pockets.

#2 WOW ! why didn't the Conservative politicians use the LSD's own dumping ground tactics against them sooner?

Simply using the LSD process of Bussing & Dumping illegals into Liberal run Metros, quickly showed the world, that LSD's can't even run their own Metros safely.

#3 why didn't the Conservative politicians use the LSD's own dumping ground tactics against them sooner?

Because many of them are not "conservative," but "Stupid party." And because in those areas, the populace, even if unhappy with the new arrivals, treated them decently, as that's in our nature.

~~Liberals~~ leftists can't pull that off. "Nice" is not in their nature.

#4 One unmentioned angle - how bad does Chicago have to suck for third world migrants to say 'fuck this noise - we were better off in Caracas'? Gotta love decades of Democrat rule!

#8 "And Chicago is MAGA Country!" - Jussie Smollett

There's a goodly number of folks shifting that way in ChiTown and the surrounding suburbs.

Not that their votes will count towards anything, however.
