Who is My Neighbor?
Have you been following the local news? On Wednesday Night ABC Channel 7 News reported that the number of migrants who have been transported to Chicago from our country’s southern border since last August now exceeds 9,000.
These migrants—families and individuals—are not here illegally. They are here seeking asylum. Under U.S. law they have 1 year to demonstrate to the immigration courts that they have a legitimate claim to asylum and the right to stay in this country permanently.
In the meantime migrants struggle. Chicago does not have adequate housing and support to offer migrants. They have been bussed to area Chicago police districts and have been sleeping on the floors at the police stations.
