It’s true that Chicago, run for many years by Democrats, has a horrifyingly high crime rate, worse even than some Third World nations.
And both corporations and residents in recent years have pulled up stakes and moved elsewhere.
But in what has to be a crowning insult, the city has become so “unpleasant” that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela, despite its socialist government.
It is the Daily Mail that described the city’s fall.

“Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State’s Gov. Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as ‘sanctuary cities.’ They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants,” the report said.
But “Illinois’ harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh U.S.-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home,” it said.
The report explained how Venezuela-born Michael Castejon, 39, and family members have had to sleep on police station floors and in shelters, because his work permit was slow to arrive and they could not afford rent without subsidies, which expired.
So they decided to return to South America.
“Nothing here for us,” Castejon explained, warning others the failed journey was not worth the effort and expense.
Now they’ll be returning to an authoritarian regime, the report said.
He told the publication, “We didn’t know things would be this hard.”
“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,” he said, “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.”
The thousands of illegal aliens are in Chicago after mostly crossing the U.S. border in Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, noting the boasting from multiple leftists cities about how they were sanctuary locations, then dispatched loaded buses to them.
Catholic Charities already has helped multiple families to return, the report said.
Brayan Lozano, head of the volunteer group of the Police Station Response Team, told the Daily Mail, “The word of the situation in Chicago is beginning to spread.”
The report described the situations of others, also forced to sleep on police station floors, who also have decided to return.
The report noted Chicago now has some 11,000 illegal aliens in shelters and another 4,000 living in police stations or its airport.
The catastrophe, triggered by Joe Biden’s decision to make the nation’s southern border virtually open by cancelling the security measures installed by President Trump, has prompted city resident to debate the whole issue of offering “sanctuary.”
The report said, “Progressives in Chicago are outraged that a move to end Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city is even being considered for a ballot. But many of the city’s residents – including a large number of those who are themselves ethnic minorities – are keen to end the Windy City’s sanctuary city status.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
