How bad has life become in a now-borderless America? So bad that now many of those fleeing the poverty-stricken Third World are choosing to return to their homelands, seeing the United States as the worse option.
That was the takeaway from a recent Chicago Tribune account of the situation in the Windy City, which has been overrun with migrants as a result of the city’s misguided embrace of sanctuary policies, combined with the Biden White House’s dissolution of border security, and general urban decay.
Venezuelan migrants, for example, now say they are disgusted by Chicago’s lack of shelter facilities, their inability to secure jobs in the city, and long wait times for being granted asylum.
“The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore,” Venezuelan national Michael Castejon, 39, told the Tribune. “There’s nothing here for us. We just want to be home … If we’re going to be sleeping in the streets here, we’d rather be sleeping in the streets over there.”
