Osvalgo Montilla, 57, got off a charter bus in Chicago’s West Loop Wednesday afternoon after trekking thousands of miles from Venezuela, thinking about his wife of 25 years who was in a detention facility in Del Rio, Texas.
Montilla, a pharmacist in his home country with three grown children, had traveled to the United States and sat on a bus for 20 hours. But he was most worried about his wife, who he hadn’t seen in five days. When the couple entered the U.S. on Sept. 22, his wife, like thousands of other migrants, was arbitrarily selected to be put in a detention facility.
“Here there is employment. I want to grow — economically and personally,” he said in Spanish. “But my biggest worry is finding my wife.”
He wasn’t sure when or how he would reconnect with her.
Montilla is just one of the hundreds of new migrants who have arrived in Chicago in the past week with an uncertain future, as the number of asylum-seekers has surpassed 15,000 with the arrival of 27 buses since Saturday, including seven on Wednesday. With the city running out of room to house them — as thousands sleep on police station floors and at airports awaiting shelter placement — Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday defended his administration’s decision to contract with a private security firm to help place the new asylum-seekers in base camps before winter.

I predict a "humanitarian crisis" when cold weather hits.
Send more.
A long, cold winter is coming to Chicago.
Is there anyone left south of the border except angry cartel members and crooked pols?
Good enough for them!
We have been inundated with them for years and years in South Tennessee. They come to work in the tobacco fields but don’t go home. During the winter months, they steal. We lost two 4-wheelers, two chainsaws, a very expensive string trimmer, and too much to mention. They shop in the local grocery store and you can smell them three aisles over. Nasty, thieving bunch!
It’s time for somebody else to deal with them.
I keep waiting to read some analysis that details the BENEFITS TO THE UNITED STATES of 10 million people invading our country.
There apparently are ZERO BENEFITS as no enlightened economics or sociology professor has written such a paper.
When the buses get back load them up again
Keep sending them to blue cities until the Biden Administration is forced to act.
If those buttheads can walk all the way from Venezuela to the Rio Grande in the middle of a “climate crisis” heatwave that has people dropping like flies, I can’t see why they would need tents. They are superhumans. Three and four hundred pound females who can walk 3000 straight line miles without losing even an ounce. Quite impressive.
Tent camping through a Chicago winter sounds wonderful !
Is obozo’s Chicago home occupied? I’m sure some would be happy to camp out there!
I posed this question to Google and all I got back was a litany of the BENEFITS that the illegals RECEIVE!!!!!
“””what are the economic and social benefits of millions of illegal immigrants entering the usa?”””
You will own nothing, and you will be happy.....or else.!
Welcome to the future of the good old U.S. of A.
Have a good time with them $h!tcongo. Don’t you know by now that Biden don’t give a damn about you....
“Here there is employment. I want to grow — economically and personally,” he said in Spanish“
He’s not eligible for asylum. Send him and his wife back.

I’m sure the South side of Chicago will welcome them, they are in to diversity.
27 busses since Saturday. It seems Governor Abbot has been reading my posts.
Good for him. Now send 50 more. Don’t forget to send a dozen or so to Springfield and drop them in front of the Governors Mansion.

His wife is turning tricks now for Oprah
Tents in the Windy City over the winter, for new arrivals from the tropics.
What could go wrong?
Doesn’t Texas ANG have 747 or c130s?
Wouldn’t it be cheaper and more people at a time than a bus?
