It's so sad that they fell for the lies that brought them up here. Had they come here legally, they could have jobs that pay well and a good life. The trick is they have to come here legally. I honestly feel for them.

I think you're missing the most important reason for them going back. It's called WINTER. the very vast majority of immigrants are from very warmer countries than the US, especially the Northern US. They want a warm comfortable looked after life and winter has no mercy.
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration quietly signed a new $40 million agreement this week with Kansas-based Favorite Healthcare Staffing to continue to staff the city’s migrant shelters through October of next year.
The Johnson administration has faced growing criticism over the increasing costs of caring for and sheltering migrants, 19,000 of whom have arrived in Chicago over the past year.
The latest census from the city shows more than 11,000 asylum seekers were staying in the shelters this week with more than 3,000 living at Chicago police stations.
NBC 5 Investigates was first to reveal that Favorite Healthcare Staffing has received at least $56 million over the past year to staff the migrant shelters, city finance records show. The bulk of the criticism, raised by city aldermen and citizens alike, has been over the hourly rates.
CHICAGO — A company contracted to helped ship migrants from Florida to Democrat-led cities has been hired by Chicago officials to build tent cities for migrants, records show.
City officials signed a $29 million contract with Virginia-based GardaWorld Federal Services and its subsidiary Aegis Defense Services on Sept. 12 for the firm to “provide temporary housing, on an as-needed basis” for asylum seekers, records show.
The contract was signed about a week after Mayor Brandon Johnson said he planned to move migrants from police stations into “winterized base camps.”
There are 2,200 migrants waiting to be transitioned from police stations and Chicago airports to one of the 21 shelters across the city.

Chitcago isn't even cold yet. Venezuelans have a lot of alpine type mountain areas but those people are mainly German and take care of themselves.

The thing is they did come legally... the Biden admin pledged to allow Venezuelans to seek asylum in the US.
I wonder how many of them were shoved onto a bus and shipped up there tho instead of being processed properly and scattered around to assimilate quicker.

I thought they were just happy to be alive and safe, considering they were fleeing horrific oppression, delivered by murderous cut-throat leaders.
