Chicago's Virtue Signaling Turns Brutal: Migrant Families Evicted from City Shelters

The City of Chicago has begun enforcing its controversial 60-day limit on shelter stays, leading to the eviction of many migrant families, including those with children. This policy has sparked significant backlash from advocates who argue it is unreasonable to expect migrants to find housing without work permits or rental assistance. Alderman Andre Vasquez warns that this could result in more tent encampments around the city. Despite issuing exemptions for families with children and those exposed to the measles outbreak, the city continues to face pressure as over 43,000 migrants have arrived since August 2022. Critics argue that Chicago's initial stance as a sanctuary city has backfired, exposing the high costs and logistical challenges of sheltering large numbers of migrants without sufficient infrastructure or federal support. The situation underscores the broader national debate on immigration and the effectiveness of sanctuary city policies.
