CHICAGO (WLS) -- More than 500 refugees from Afghanistan are expected to re-settle in Chicago over the coming months.

Seventeen aldermen recently sent a letter to President Joe Biden welcoming these future residents, saying in part "Chicago has long been a safe-haven for refugees escaping war and political violence."

The letter went on to say "in recognition of their sacrifice working alongside our troops, diplomats and partner organizations, we invite Afghan refugees to join us in Chicago, to share our home, and to build something greater together."

Several organizations will be helping these refugees make the transition to a new country, new city and a new culture.

From Afghanistan to Chicago? What transition? They should feel right at home going from one war zone to another.
