A family of Chicago migrants moved back to Venezuela earlier this month after struggling with homelessness and a lack of job opportunities in the city.
Chicago migrants are beginning to move back to Venezuela as the city runs out of resources to house and support illegal immigrants. The Chicago Tribune reported on the account of Michael Castejon, who migrated with his wife and stepdaughter from Venezuela to find a better life. However, after several months, the family suffered from homelessness, a lack of job opportunities and no access to better education. By early November, they had requested tickets back to their home country.
How many more months of living in the streets will it take? No, no more. It’s better that I leave. At least I have my mother back home,' Castejon said. Some migrants suggested they had been misled to believe that they could be granted asylum immediately and perhaps receive a work permit. Others acknowledged the sheer number of illegal immigrants overwhelming the city has likely depleted resources. 'We didn’t know things would be this hard,' Castejon said.
We just want to be home,' Castejon said. 'If we’re going to be sleeping in the streets here, we’d rather be sleeping in the streets over there.' CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP For more Culture, Media, Education, Opinion, and channel coverage, visit foxnews.com/media.
