Migrant families say they were forced to leave South Side shelter because they found jobs

CHICAGO -- A group of migrant fathers, anticipating a joyous reunion with their families after several days away working on a construction job, arrived at a South Side shelter on Thursday evening only to be turned away by staff because the men had found jobs.

The men were away working in Wisconsin and had just arrived at the Lake Shore Hotel, 4900b S. Lake Shore Drive in Kenwood about 8 p.m. Staff learned that the men had been working and wouldn't allow them to enter.

That prompted the men's wives and eight children, who were inside, to also leave the shelter.

"We arrived today, and they kicked us out because we were working," said one father who declined to give his name. He said they were "out on the street with all our suitcases and bags and everything."

After an hour on the street outside the hotel, the men, women and children, 16 in all, headed for O'Hare International Airport, the temporary shelter where they had been staying before moving to the hotel.

"With it being cold, with them having kids," said the migrant from Venezuela, "you'd think they'd have more compassion."

Not many of us would be able to travel to another state to work (complete with room & board, I guess?) while someone else pays to house and feed the wife & kids.

Whitey - Force white people to spend inordinately on social programs, while flooding his societies with nonwhites, who will vote against whitey, and use demographics to eliminate him.

So, just like the welfare queens with the clown car vaginas, these, too, will be encouraged to NOT work and to suck this nation and her taxpayers dry.

Well, that is just awful, invaders. Go back to your own country and you won’t be subject to such treatment anymore.

With all social programs, once you start helping yourself, they kick you to the curb. Layabouts only.

Cold? I thought this was the hottest summer, ever.

Sorry Slick. They don't have "compassion" for homeless Americans, including homeless veterans. Take what you get, be thankful for what you get and what you can steal and quit your bitchin'.

They are ignoring one of the main reasons they were brought here.

To democrats taking a real job is like desertion - they are going over to the other side

Once they start drawing a paycheck they are no longer helping their democrat overlords destroy the economy and the “toxic white culture”

1. NO PERSON WITHOUT A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD & UNABLE TO FILL OUT A FORM I-9 SHOULD BE WORKING IN THE USA——PERIOD

2. ANY COMPANY HIRING SUCH PERSONS SHOULD BE HEAVILY FINED

3. We have plenty of UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS

4. this is all a complete travesty
