I've seen some of them working under the table for cash in some spots. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of those opportunites for every single one. But agree with some of the comments above that some are just waiting for anything thats given. It's tough either way. Especially when you think of all the other latino groups that are well establiahed here already and look out for each other. There's no network of Venezuelans here yet for them to rely on each other. Sadly, a lot of us other latinos just talk shit saying they're this and that instead of helping each other out, when all of our families have been through similar journeys.

“ the funds that were spent for the migrants, should have been spent on the American residents” 100% agree

Well the part of the story that is left out is the Vet is an addict or alcoholic and is unwilling to go to the treatment services that are offered and he cant get into any housing because they're all drug and alcohol free. That is the biggest problem with the homeless outreach in the US is their strict abstinence policies. Every homeless person in the US pretty much has the opportunity to go into treatment if they wanted to, they just choose not to. But until they do, or until the outreach programs relax the rules on drugs/alcohol and at least let ppl in initially then help them get sober once theyre inside and safe then the homeless issue will keep on the way it is. I doubt the refugee housing has these same rules.

Same thing in NYC. Homeless everywhere. Hotels filled with migrants. My buddy tried to book a hotel room for the night in brookln and 3 different hotels cancelled their reservation on after another a couple weeks after booking because hotels are closing to house migrants. Left her without a room last minute. I booked a room in brooklyn months in advance for the same night and my reservation was cancelled last minute with no explaination or response from the hotel when i inquired about the abrupt cancelation assumedly because of the same reason. NYC also basically banned Airbnbs so it left me scrambling to figure something out last minute. Its the same in manhattan and queens.

Many of the homeless are drug addicts and alcoholics. Housing comes with the stipulation that they would have to be sober. Most aren’t willing to enter into that agreement. Would have to offer something like a “ Wet house” which the UK has. ( in this case it involves providing a controlled amount of alcohol to the residents.) These are people that have not been successful with recovery programs. The idea behind it is that it gives them a safe place to live and a sense of community. And I guess it’s also a “ win” for tax payers. It’s a form of “ harm reduction”. The homeless people that should be a priority are the ones working who still can’t afford a roof over their heads. The immigrants in this vid seem like they are grateful and want to contribute to society. But no city can afford to have an unlimited number pouring in! It’s simply a matter of logistics, not one of humanity.

On one hand,I feel for alot of these people just trying to escape a horrible situation and provide for their families but on the other hand,the border is open way too much. We have tons of people out there that hate Americans so its a threat. I think overall,the immigration is being handled wrong. Then you look at the homeless situation we have or veterans that dont get that help that migrants do. Its complicated for sure

Very true, too many homeless people... How can they make room for the people coming into the country and not the years people have been on the streets. Veterans that defended the US, out on the streets. Jumping from place to place just trying to live, its sad man. If we have the money, everyone should be indoors. Don't hide the money until you want yourselves to look better and end up trashing yourself 10x over.

Here's an answer, albeit an unfortunate one, as I too believe all people should have housing. Migrants contribute to the economy. They take the low-paying and difficult jobs that most Americans don't want to work, and there's a surplus of these kind of jobs, especially now. *Agriculture in this country would literally collapse overnight without migrant workers* as that entire sector heavily relies on their labor, with immigrants comprising the vast majority of agricultural workers. Though in the short term accommodating these newly arrived migrants will cost sanctuary cities like Chicago a fortune, in the long-term their participation in the workforce and taxes will benefit the economy substantially. Homeless people on the other hand, are unfortunately a drain on the economy. Most do not have jobs or contribute much in the way of tax dollars, so they're a net loss for the economy. In my own personal opinion this doesn't mean they don't deserve housing, but in the view of politicians and even the public, this makes them a burden. This is a systemic failure where the root causes fail to be addressed, in large part because of apathy and negligence, but also because it's a very complicated problem to solve. Homelessness is a very multifaceted issue, as there's so many contributing factors - mental health, drug addiction, lack of education, unemployment, criminality. It's very hard to stabilize let alone rehabilitate many of these people. So unfortunately with that kind of glaring contrast between migrants and the homeless, it's not hard to see why politicians would choose to allocate tax dollars to migrants and not the homeless.

@@purplespaceship2417 Well said, I can understand that side of it. But my main focus is our vets. As you said mental health, drug addiction, lack of education, unemployment, criminality. These are all part of the people who don't want to try and establish themselves as a working citizen, get clean or help. I know many people who have just fallen on hard times, but they went through blood, sweat and tears climbing out of that hole. Personally I don't believe it should be this hard to get help and get out of that place as I also know a lot that failed. If people are wanting to change there lives just like how the migrants did, why don't they get the help migrants are. As I said before everyone should have a roof over there head, and food in there stomachs, but some go without for days. Go from place to place looking for a job, getting turned down because they don't have a bank account, Place of residence, or clean clothes consistently on there backs. I believe everyone should have a chance at the American dream, but with everything going on in the us. Its hard to get by working a full time job, causing many people to work a second just to pay for housing, food and other necessities. The problem comes from the top top, if it can ever be fixed up there many people would have a lot better of a chance at establishing themselves here, and also coming here.

This hasn’t effected me as a resident, but it is getting out of hand now in NYC. I’ve also heard that they get $600 weekly which they make more than some low income residents here. Many mixed feelings about this current migrant situation.

@@sarbantz I'll say this first; saying racism use to be a way to make someone feel guilty or if that's all someone could come up with, pull the race card. Doesn't work on me. Good try. I don't see how you sense racism truly when it's about our borders being invaded like crazy with people from many different places. Not a specific race. There isn't a specific color or race . You speak on Chicago having enough room for them all; put that aside for a moment and think that maybe it's not that there isn't room but it's the fact they are getting free money, a phone, a roof over their head and getting treated good. Many US citizens on the street, trying to work, battling addiction, have healthcare problems and not a damn thing to help the people who have been here since birth. It's not about people coming here, it's about the rush of so many not knowing where they are from, their intentions, diseases being brought over the border and like NY, laying out on sidewalks as if it's nothing. If you did research, you'd see where having open borders and migrants pouring in is one big way to usher in communism. That's usually how communist nations begin. And this makes you think of racism? Doesn't fit the definition. Also have you noticed that so many are young men, military age and they've been doing military training already which includes indoctrination about US citizens . So there's a good reason they had everyone come in . No accident. A friend of mine is an Uber driver and he was driving a migrant to it's destination. Said he was nice and also said he was a migrant who was trained for backup military. Not for other countries. But being trained to fight us if we rise up. They give them an app on their phone and when it beeps, that means they have a message and have to return to their location. Said when he got here he wasn't forced but basically pushed to take the classes, military. And the US is using them as pawns to wipe us out. He said the guy was from Columbia and said he actually doesn't want to be in the US anymore but can't leave. So where's the racism?? This has nothing to do with color. And you know that.

This is an international city and I know tensions are high but we will figure it out. You’re a true Chicagoan putting boots on the ground and getting out there talking to everyday people and Venezuelans.

Love the Chicago content

Tommy...the work and dedication put into this content is incredible. Much love, man. Keep at it

God knows who we really letting in and what problems there going to bring with them tho.. I live in NY and already seen a number of supper sketchy characters to say the least… It’s already becoming a big issue for a lot of locals who had these people dumped in our community and no plans of what to do with them once they get here.. I live in a pretty quiet area and lately it’s been flipped upside down nearly. Not to mention that some are even trying to snake jobs away from locals and working and for much less when the wages are already barely enough to get by in this state.. Eventually it’ll only wind up being just as bad as the place’s that everyone flees away from and the problem people that slip in with the decent ones who just want some sense of safety and want nothing more than to return home to the places the know and love as soon as possible. It’s all the other ones that have other plans of causing problems and disappearing into crowded populated areas that are a huge concern too..… But we definitely need to take care of our own people before we go worrying about the rest of the world!…. 😏🙄🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
