What about migrants who want to return home?

Two migrant families from Venezuela shelter at the Central District police station earlier this year. Hundreds remain at several police stations, while there are 12,864 residents in 26 Chicago shelters, as of Nov. 28, 2023. (Natalie Garcia/For the Sun-Times)

It has been widely reported that as migrants cross the border, they are often sold a bill of goods in order to get them to load onto buses to sanctuary cities, only to find out they were lied to.

On the evening news this week, a reporter was talking to one of the migrants who is disillusioned. He said he was better off in his home country and expressed the desire to go back home. I would hazard to guess he is not the only one.
