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.

They are the smart ones and more likely to work and contribute.

So, Chicago is a bigger stinkhole than Commie Venezuela.
Does not surprise me in the slightest.

I guess Chicago needs to import more murder victims. Chicago has solved the old Stalin dilemma: Mr stalin, when will you quit killing peasants? When I run out.
I do wonder what sort of upward pressure on the housing market in general 1 Million + migrants a year inflicts.
Surely old schmoe knows and has a plan ....... for when he sees a little girl's hair.

Heck, the ILLEGALS may have some clue to Chicago's freezing winter nights. The may have asked Jussie Smollett just how cold it gets.

Good now we know where to send them so they will self deport. Maybe citizens of Chicago can ask for refuge in Venezuela

So, on what basis were they allowed to come here in the first place? I thought economic hardship was not a reason for entry. Even if it were, there is an economic saturation point, which we blew past in the first few months of the age of Biden. So if freedom and a bus ticket doesn't do it for ya, maybe home wasn't such a bad place after all. You didn't believe the 'streets paved in gold' thing, did ya?

This could be the solution to the illegal invasion: send them to Democrat sh*tholes.

They only came here in the first place because someone paid them so pay them to go back.

I expect to see Venezuela tightening its borders to keep out illegal aliens from Chicago.

I don't believe this. Yes I believe they would leave chicago, but are they really going back or just heading south.

Amazing. Even the illegal aliens would rather go back to Venezuela than live in Chicago. What an embarrassment Chicago is.

Chicago is stashing many of them inside the walls of O'Hare. Having spent a night or two sleeping on an airport floor after the last flight out was canceled, I would prefer Venezuela as well.

Chicago - Pritzker's Potemkin, the "pride" of thugs and leftist loons. A city so well run that even the dog-sized rats, which thrive in situ, have formed their own labor union.

A few are leaving because they have no housing (sleeping in tent in front of police stations) and not enough freebies. And winter is coming.

Hey illegal alien parasites I've got news for you fools. Winter is coming and if you think that Chicago is unpleasant now just wait until that temperature really drops.

Once again, they are not ‘immigrants’. They are illegals who have no business even being here. They have no entitlement to be fed and sheltered at the expense of taxpayers. Once winter really sets in we are going to be hearing these sob stories daily. There is a simple solution. Deport them.

We need to consider the Power grabs Democrats will invoke for their Chicago convention a warning--small wonder, considering how their "River to the Sea" voters seem to enjoy being controlled. MAGA-FJB

AND.......there's a strong El Nino winter "a-comin"!! Betcha they've never experienced one of those. Our government's goal was to turn this country into Venezuela; seems they've exceeded beyond their wildest dreams. They made us even worse! Now THERE'S a "success" biden can tout as he quasi campaigns.

It's also because of the weather. Even the illegals have come to understand that Chicago weather really sucks. Cold cloudy day after cold cloudy day during fall, winter, and spring. It is possible to go two to three weeks without ever seeing the sun. There's actually a three-week period from late May to mid-June where the weather is good. But by then, the summer solstice is only a week away and daylight length starts shrinking already.
