-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Advocates and U.S. citizens who have sought shelter at police stations say they have done so as a last resort, a stopgap solution or option for something that Chicago’s extant shelter system does not have. “It’s like, I’m not trying to live here,” said Joliet native Jessica Wilson, who had been staying at the station for two months. “I’m trying to wait for somebody to contact me.”

I’ve been visiting lots of these migrant shelters and police stations. I don’t know of any locals staying at police stations. I do know of lots of locals staying in tents under bridges. I might even do a video about it. The contrast is amazing.
Ya know what stop the damn pity show get of your ass and get a job poc, stop the free stuff army.
It would seem a big question nobody’s asking in press or politics; should the legal bases city is using, if that even exists), to provide services to migrants (or asylum seekers) be any different than the cities obligation to provide services to our US citizen homeless? I’m especially shocked that no one in homeless advocacy community or Black politics are legally filing suit for equal treatment…..Chicago has no “right to shelter” ordinance like NYC has and is trying to dump.
