One Last Story And Then I Have To Move On -- October 6, 2023

Locator: 45665SURGE.  

I find these stories reprehensible.

Chicago: 3,000 undocumented visitors overwhelms the city.

El Paso, Texas: 300,000 undocumented visitors every year.

Some hyperbole.

Not much.

This is very, very interesting.

Why are undocumented tourists heading to NYC, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco?

The biggest reason: they have families or "connections" there.

Other reasons:

  • great benefits -- like housing;
  • sanctuary cities;
  • Lutheran and Catholic social services get $5,000 federal help / visitor / first year to help with getting individual / family settled. Needs to be fact-checked.
  • the pizza is much better in those four cities than anywhere else in the US. Pizza is the US food of choice.

Look at it from the perspective of the undocumented tourist who has just crossed the border into Texas. 

That one individual / family sees 200,000 other folks standing in line to apply for benefits / social services in El Paso.

Elsewhere, it's a line of 20. 

Hyperbole, again, but that's what the undocumented visitor sees or expects to see.

The word is out; those four cities are sanctuary cities: this does not simply mean that the cities won't turn over felons to the federal government. It means that these cities are responsible for caring for undocumented visitors, which includes housing. 

Where are Lutheran and Catholic services located? Everywhere, I suppose, but in the Midwest these agencies have broken the code. Midwest? Chicago, Detroit.

It's amazing what one finds on the internet.
