Democrat policies may have attracted millions to America with their open borders, but once those migrants get a taste of life under the American version of socialist banana republics, they’re turning around and going home.
The family went from sleeping on the floor of a police station, to a crowded shelter, to a house on the Far South Side, and then back to the floor of the police station after her stepfather Michael Castejon, 39, couldn’t afford the rent. He could not find a job that paid enough without a work permit, he said.
On Nov. 3, they set out to go back to Texas. And from there, they would go to Venezuela, the country they fled to seek asylum in the United States. They’re among the countless number of migrants who have chosen to leave Chicago in recent weeks in their search for a better life.
Maybe some kind nation can offer refugees from Chicago political asylum.
The first few colder days influenced the family’s decision to contact staff at Catholic Charities, pressing for plane tickets that would put them closer to a border town to find a way back home. When they got the news that they had been approved and had their tickets in hand, Castejon felt relieved, he said.
The feeling of disappointment and impotency that Castejon felt is shared by many of the migrants, said Brayan Lozano, head of the volunteer group of the Police Station Response Team at the 1st District station.
Finally Catholic Charities is helping cope with the illegal migrant crisis.
One family of five left for Detroit because another migrant told them there was work there. One man went back to Texas, where he will join his cousins after trying his luck in Chicago. In the past month, at least 40 people, including Sevilla’s family, have left Chicago from the 1st District station on the Near South Side with the help of Catholic Charities of Chicago.
More than 2,000 people have gotten monetary aid from the state through Catholic Charities to relocate to other states with family and friends, according to Katie Bredemann, a spokesperson with Catholic Charities of Chicago. The program has been part of their effort to help ease the humanitarian crisis in Chicago and offer the migrants an opportunity to reunite with families or reach the city they intended to go to before being sent to Chicago.
I think Chicago just solved the problem of illegal migration. All the next administration has to do is tell the migrants that they are welcome here as long as they stay in Chicago.
Or New York City.
The first batch of migrants was bused to Floyd Bennett Field’s makeshift tent city in Brooklyn on Sunday — and wanted no part of it.
Dozens of migrant families arrived at the controversial remote housing site courtesy of the Adams administration shortly after 12:30 p.m., looked around and promptly hopped back on the bus to try to return to their previous shelters.
The next step should be billboards and ads showcasing homeless tent cities and meth addicts wandering the streets in a daze.
America’s failed cities may be able to do what a border wall couldn’t.
Full of illusions about life in USA.
They used to get that from TV and movies.
People in many other countries believe what they see in American movies and TV shows. I’ve spoken to Mexicans and Indonesians who think those fantasies are reality.
Yeah, in India also. Thanks Jeff!
Seems like a long way to come to learn “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” is actually an idiom and not based in physical reality.
While most Spanish language idioms don’t translate well to English, there’s one that illegals should have known by heart and heeded: “Mas vale pajaro en mano, que cien volando”, because appreciating and focusing on what they’ve got rather than what they haven’t got would’ve saved on a lot of shoe wear.
I’m just glad they’re going home…but I’ll believe it when I see it. I believe the latest stat out of NYC is that less than 2% of the 140,000 illegals there have applied for a work permit, being quite content with their leeching.
They left Venezuela for America not knowing that America is becoming another Venezuela.
If America was supposed to save the world it was not directly but by example. Your country too can become great and prosper if it adopts the American way of life, if it adopts the American ideal of individual rights and private property rights.
But instead, America adopted the altruist-collectivist-socialist nightmare one welfare program at a time.
“America’s abundance was not created by public sacrifices to “the common good,” but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America’s industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages, and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance—and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way.” – Ayn Rand
The comedian and social commentator Carlos Mencia : ” Start worrying about America when the Latino’s don’t want to come here anymore.”
The illegals may find out that they aren’t going to have the same life in the US as portrayed by movies. They were brought here for votes but their lives may not be happy or fulfilling, or even prosperous.
They sure get a lot of free stuff, though. They don’t even have to pay to live here and they complain about it? I wish I could have a free ride but I’m white and a native American so no go. They’re ingrates. Good riddance to every one that leaves.
Unfortunately nine or ten million have invaded so far, thanks to Alzheimer Joe’s handlers. With millions more to follow.
Anyone who thinks the invading army is leaving voluntarily is woefully naive.
This type of wishful thinking is dangerous.
Totally. Greenfield is not nearly racist and hateful enough. What happened to “illegal alien invaders”? You slippin’, Greenfield.
We actually agree on something!
Lets say it together now: ILLEGAL ALIEN SCUM.!
See, it feels good telling the truth, no matter what those leftist liars tell you.
P.S.
Mickorn, whenever someone on the left uses the word “hateful”, that’s a dead giveaway that he is seething with hatred. It’s the same with the phony yard signs. Hatred and intolerance of everything the opposition stands for is the brand of the left. I mean raw, red faced, high blood pressure, screaming hatred, We on the right aren’t fooled.
Why don’t you invite some wetbacks to come live with you? Oh, that’s right “Not In My Backyard.”
Typical left-wing hypocrite. You just want the wetters for their D-Bag votes.
How’s that Dirtbagocrat rule working out for you? Do you enjoy the Bidenflation, Biden shortages, Biden utility hikes, international shame over this government’s weakness, and the endless list of your failures? Cretin. Typical D-Bag.
America prospered under Trump. Never forget that. bitch.
You D-Bag retards revel in your own shit, don’t you? Party loyalty over reality, right, scumwads? Yeah, go pay eight dollars for a gallon of gas and ten bucks for a dozen eggs. Assholes. You “people” are a curse on humanity. Everything you touch turns to shit.
Stupid assholes. Thanks for destroying the greatest nation that ever used to exist. I truly hope one of the ten million wetbacks invaders you lot welcomed in appropriates your meager home and kicks you to the curb.
Catholic Charities are part of the problem. Their NGOs are big recipients of government money to bring illegals here. Now they get money to send the illegals back, what a racket.
There are other church groups doing the same thing, being paid by our government to bring illegal aliens.
So the illegal alien invaders don’t like getting treated like “We, The People” get treated by the Liberals. Now we know how to get rid of THEM. Treat them shabbily. Treat them like they don’t count. Treat them like the government treats us and they will leave! Perhaps some of those formerly bleeding heart Liberals could lead the illegal alien invaders back to their home and STAY THERE with them.
Sounds like many of them are heading back to Southern red states instead of going home. We need a concerted effort by NGOs and the government to assist with self-deportation so that those who want to leave are deported rather than simply relocated to a warmer climate here in the US.
Say, maybe we can empty chicago’s jails and ship our criminals to Venezuela and Cuba.
That’s the hard part, where to put them. Britain used to send their convicts to Australia, but all the land masses seem to be filled up now.
Thanks Cowboy!
Say, maybe we can empty chicago’s jails and ship our criminals to Venezuela and Cuba. The weather’s nice and they’re bipoc socialist paradises with no systemic racism and oppression.
I remember many years ago watching a documentary about Africa. There were backward tribe men watching a movie about America. I recognized the movie. They were showing a movie called ‘Diamonds Are A Girl Best Friend’ starting Marilyn Monroe in a musical. I thought, why are those idiots showing a movie like that? That was not a real reflection of life in America. Who knows what kind of impression was left on them regarding America?
Well, the new migrants are now having to face reality. I hope they all return to their native country. They will be happier back home.
