Chicago's migrant crises deepens: taxpayers rail against $65M shelters for homeless arrivals as temperatures plummet. 'These people are just getting off the bus and everything's given to them.'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Angry residents say Chicago suburb cannot accommodate migrant shelter

  • America's foreign-born population has swollen to a record-breaking 49.5 million

Chicagoans are turning on Mayor Brandon Johnson's 'open doors' policy to migrants, staging daily protests against expensive new government-run tent shelters for the homeless newcomers.

Hundreds of locals attended a community meeting this week, and dozens more have staged protests near a construction site where one of two new shelters is being built in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood.

The shelters, funded by the state of Illinois, are set to open within weeks.

They will house up to 2,200 asylum seekers and cost $65 million to build and accommodate some of those migrants sleeping on floors or in tents outside city police stations.
