@pbsnews: How Chicago residents feel about the city’s response to a migrant surge Chicago, the city hosting the Democratic National Convention next week, has been at the center of the national conversation around U.S. immigration policy. Laura Barrón-López reports. Editor's Note: In this segment we aired video of the current Wadsworth Elementary School. The migrant shelter is located a block away at the former Wadsworth elementary school. We regret the error. #pbsnews #pbsnewshour #newshour #chicago #illinois #immigration #migrants #dnc #immigrationpolicy #usimmigration
We are a country of immigrants. We need to find a way to assimilate migrants into our society. There needs to be a better way to assist those in need all across the country.

These immigrants are only trying to survive. It’s not their fault. The issue is with theis government.

Allowing the government to pit Black people against other marginalized people is insane

Reminder that U.S foreign policy and international intervention is the main cause for the rise of "illegal immigration". Please hold your government accountable and look at the bigger picture

the Republicans denied the bill cuz they'd rather keep it as an issue to have in the election than actually fucking fix something.

The government is the problem, not the migrants. Our institutions weaponize these people who need help against us to avoid accountability and criticism.

Also, there are 30,000 Ukraine migrants in Chicago alone but nothing is ever said about them. I wonder why?

The budget to hire immigration officers has not increased. There has to be limits in immigration to allow pending cases to be processed. The average wait for Visa U / Visa T cases are 5-7 years now.

I wonder if the Federal government is looking to the cities for ideas on how to successfully integrate new immigrants? If so, it seems like Chicago is setting a very good example. ❤️

I swear, Black people are the best Christians, the biggest supporters of democracy, true believers in liberty, equality, and justice. The concept of an “illegal immigrant” is unAmerican.

When will they understand that the government wants DIVISION, if we were to unite we could defeat the real evil. They want us to hate each other when we all have the same struggles

Imagine what could be accomplished when the Black community in Chicago and the migrant community joined forces.
despite the disappointment to see their own community still seeking overdue city support, i'm thankful for the love and care the south side has shown migrants. it's not the same throughout the city

If the country is allowing them to come THEY ARE NOT ILLEGAL, it’s not illegal if they are here with the governments knowledge. Everyone is mad at the wrong people, it’s not the migrants fault they were LET IN HERE.

Using people’s well being, ESPECIALLY INNOCENT CHILDREN, as a political tactic is some next level villain behavior. I don’t have a solution but I do have humanity and a conscience.

Being a good Christian is going to lose pastor his church and his job as pastor only he's too foolish to see it. Americans don't even want to take care of other Americans like this. Why immigrants?

Our problem wasn’t with the migrants, it’s that y’all don’t take care of US first as citizens but help everybody else. Especially when our neighborhoods BEEN struggling🤬🤬
