Why asylum-seekers no longer are being sent to suburbs like ElkGroveVillage DesPlaines_IL & prospect_hts
While Chicago is struggling as much as ever to accommodate asylum-seekers being sent north from the Texas-Mexico border, the relief valve found in some suburbs last fall no longer is an option.
"I have kept in touch with and the state didn't preclude reviving the process in the future, but are looking for more sustainable solutions to handle the numbers they are talking about," Des Plaines Mayor Andrew Goczkowski said."Right now those solutions seem to be focused on working with the city of Chicago to make the most of the federal dollars that were pushed in."
A hotel in a part of Burr Ridge in DuPage County took in 64 asylum-seekers in what seemed to be a rare example of a transfer outside Cook County. The large group that arrived in Prospect Heights last October consisted mainly of families and included about 60 children.
