DEATH OF THE DREAM? Fed-Up Migrants in Chicago Head Back to Venezuela, 'American Dream is Dead'

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.13.23

According to a report from The New York Post, two migrants in Chicago are planning to head back to Venezuela after sleeping five months on the streets; they initially trekked thousands of miles looking for a better life in the U.S.

From The New York Post:

Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune he has had enough after he, his wife and teenage stepdaughter spent five months sleeping either in a police precinct or a crowded city shelter in the now-brutally cold Windy City.

He’s also been unable to secure a job permit or enroll his daughter in a local school — two of the main reasons things they thought would bring a better life in the US.

“The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore,” Castejon told the paper on the eve of his family’s departure.

“There’s nothing here for us … We just want to be home,” Castejon told the Tribune of the South American country he earlier fled.

“If we’re going to be sleeping in the streets here, we’d rather be sleeping in the streets over there.”

“More than 20,000 migrants have made their way to Chicago since August 2022, when Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began loading them onto buses and shipping them off to sanctuary cities,” The Post reports.
