Chicago Latinos receive migrants with open arms – The DePaulia

Little Village Community Council volunteers quickly gathered supplies such as clothes, blankets, food and transportation; They called for help from city officials including Congressman Chuy Garcia, Illinois Latino Caucus Leader Aaron Ortiz and Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya, but their calls were unanswered. “The city has helped us with nothing. The state has helped us with nothing. The county has helped us with nothing. The federal government has not helped us with anything.”
