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'

Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs.

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.

“...refused better paying jobs”

WTH? They expect to waltz in here illegally and grab the “GOOD” jobs from American citizens then complain that we “refused” to fire Americans and hand them their jobs? Honestly?

Deport 125% of them!! Damn ingrate.

[[Chicago is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing BACK to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused jobs]]

over 70% of illegals and legal immigrants go on government payments or programs of some kind and never get off it- they are NOT coming here to work- only about 25% or so actually come here to work

That’s what you get when you sneak into a country illegally, knowing most the people don’t want you there. That’s what you get when you have made no long term provisions for yourself and your family to survive, other than depending on ‘the kindness of strangers’.

What America need are you fulfilling by barging into here? If the honest answer is ‘None’, then stay home, or look for another host country to leech off of. I hear there are a lot of job openings in the Honduras. Brazil and Haiti, too. Maybe you should drag the whole family down there and check it out!

Have you been in Chicago in winter?

It is sorta like Siberia,

only less freedoms

and less communism.

Pretty sad

when someone flees

warm tropical communism

only to find cold

and more communism

then you fled from.

I’d berate the orgs that conned me

and got payed

to con me.

That’s the solution: Make illegals feel unwanted and keep them broke. Perhaps they will see the light and return home a little poorer but wiser.

I know this is a tired saying, but the Chitcagoans are getting what they voted for and the illegals are getting what they deserve. I feel sorry for none of them.

No it won't.

It doesn't matter who casts the votes. It matters who counts the votes.

Please don’t tell me any of you actually believe these Mexicans, and South Americans are going back out of this country! The headline is a complete fabrication, none of these people are leaving America other than by force of gunpoint.
