In a recent report from WBEZ (91.5 FM), a civic leader from St. Louis paid a visit to the Chicago Mayor’s Office to discuss a groundbreaking initiative. The meeting was aimed at addressing the migrant crisis in the Windy City, particularly focusing on the influx of approximately 20,000 migrants, predominantly from Venezuela, that Chicago has experienced this year. As winter temperatures set in, finding suitable accommodation for these migrants has become an increasingly challenging task.
The proposal comes at a time when St. Louis is grappling with a decline in population and employees. Some within the city believe that embracing migrants from Venezuela could not only alleviate the challenges faced by Chicago but also benefit St. Louis in the long run. The potential move aims to create a mutually beneficial situation for both the migrants seeking refuge and the city seeking to revitalize its community and workforce.
