Police stations have become tent encampments. More than 800 migrants are sleeping at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. City officials are scrambling.
In interviews, several Venezuelans who had arrived recently said they had come to Chicago because they had distant relatives in the city or had heard from friends that it had robust social services.
But many said Chicago had become their destination simply because they were offered a free plane or bus ticket from previous shelters, where they arrived penniless and sleep deprived.
why would you move from Venezuela to anywhere like Chicago a month before winter begins? seems to be a very poor decision.
