Greg Abbott has bussed around 3,700 migrants to Chicago from the U.S. and Mexico border in Texas. At least 425 are school-aged children according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.chalkbeat.org\/2022\/11\/7\/23445833\/chicago-schools-migrants-students-texas-busing-asylum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChalkBeat<\/a>. Most of the migrants are seeking asylum, yet some are unaware they have arrived in Chicago in the first place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The influx of undocumented migrants is part of Abbott\u2019s plan to send them to Democratic \u2018sanctuary\u2019 cities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbott has openly criticized&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gregabbott_tx\/status\/1509525580701745155?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on social media<\/a>&nbsp;the Biden administration\u2019s attempt to lift&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2022\/04\/29\/immigration-title-42-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Title 42<\/a>, a federal act which authorizes denying asylum seekers in the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic prior to the shipment of migrants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/illatinonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Briseno-daughter-675x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5061355\" width=\"231\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Briseno-daughter-675x900-1.jpg 675w, https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/Briseno-daughter-675x900-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yumary Brise\u00f1o and her daughter in their Venezuela home prior to fleeing the country.

They provide them with shelter, clothes, food and education on how to navigate public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cortes said the church has received around 150 migrants. Their goal has been helping them find jobs, apartments, but most of all, help restore their faith and human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a church mass, Elvira told her experience as someone who was once undocumented to the newly arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She turned her head, acknowledging the eyes of everyone in the small room and said, \u201cToday, you all are arriving in paradise. But a paradise, why? Because others before us, even way before me, people fought so that in that time, I could have rights.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elvira was deported from the United States in 2007 and was not allowed to enter the country for twenty years. Despite her undocumented status, she would travel to the U.S. Mexico border and help people cross over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were moments she looked up at the sky and thought, \u201cLord but what am I doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elvira said even though there were days she was filled with doubt and fear that she would be penalized again, she wanted to help people create a better life in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted for no other mother and father to be separated from their children. For no other father and mother to be shamed. That no other worker be shamed for the simple act of wanting to work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/illatinonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/church-mass-1-768x430-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5061356\" width=\"269\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/church-mass-1-768x430-1.png 768w, https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/church-mass-1-768x430-1-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Migrants and parishioners attend mass inside Adalberto Memorial United Methodist Church in Humboldt Park.

She said it is now the duty of people who share similar migration experiences to help them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her message transcents through the walls of the church with two green signs, one in Spanish and the other in English that read, \u201cI was a stranger and you welcomed me.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust as they arrived, they can have that heart to keep helping the rest. To not forget those who were left behind,\u201d Cortes said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through similar migration experience or their own sense of calling, many Latinos across Chicago have found their own ways to help those seeking asylum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baltazar Enriquez, president of the Little Village Community Council (LVCC) was at Union Station on Aug. 31, the night the first bus of migrants arrived in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He received a call from Univision cameraman Enrique Garc\u00eda Fuentes, asking him if they could use the LVCC hall space to house the migrants. Although Enriquez agreed, he did not realize the \u2018massive\u2019 amounts of people that were seeking asylum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LVCC volunteers quickly gathered supplies such as clothes, blankets, food and transportation. Enriquez called for help from city officials including Congressman Chuy Garcia, Illinois Latino Caucus Leader Aaron Ortiz and Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya. Enrique said none of them answered his phone calls nor called him back at a later time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/illatinonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/green-sign-1-768x429-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5061357\" width=\"260\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/green-sign-1-768x429-1.png 768w, https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/green-sign-1-768x429-1-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A green sign inside Adalberto Memorial United Methodist Church reads \u201cI was a stranger and you welcomed me.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/depauliaonline.com\/staff_profile\/stephania-rodriguez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephania Rodriguez<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe city has helped us with nothing. The state has helped us with nothing. The county has helped us but nothing. The federal government has not helped us with anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, Mayor Lightfoot gave $5 million for the city to support the incoming migrants,&nbsp;according&nbsp;to Bloomberg Magazine. However, the LVCC did not have any financial support from the city according to Enriquez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enriquez said the Little Village neighborhood always welcomes immigrants. As part of one of the city\u2019s largest Mexican communities, he says they always, \u201clend a helping hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether on the front lines or not, the mobilization of many Latinos across the city to support those arriving come in various forms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emily Vallejo, daughter of Peruvian immigrants and student at DePaul, started a clothing drive for migrants through the Latinx cultural group known as MESA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said her parents and grandparents immigration story has fueled her activism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s always kinda been a big part of why I felt like I need to do things is because I see my family in other people,\u201d Vallejo said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vallejo said she wants to give back to her community such as the incoming migrants because her family paved the way for her to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel like it would almost be doing a disservice to my family if I weren\u2019t saying this is messed up or we should be mobilizing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vallejo said many of the older generation of Latinos focused on \u2018surviving\u2019 in the United States, rather than engaging in forms of activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These acts of survival were often sending money back to their families or simply ensuring there was food on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As migrants continue to arrive, Brise\u00f1o said all she wants is to be granted permission by the U.S. government to work. She wishes to provide for her family, especially her daughter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe is my strength to keep fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publisher\u2019s Notes: This <a href=\"https:\/\/depauliaonline.com\/61109\/nation\/chicago-latinos-receive-migrants-with-open-arms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story <\/a>was written by DePaul University students, Stephania Rodriguez, Nadia Carolina Hernandez, and Jacqueline Cardenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/illatinonews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSCF3941-e1669385116444.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5061360\" width=\"206\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/DSCF3941-e1669385116444.jpg 427w, https:\/\/latinonewsnetwork.com\/illn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/DSCF3941-e1669385116444-300x273.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jackiecardenas_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jacqueline<\/a> is the editor-in-chief of La DePaulia, DePaul University&#8217;s Spanish language newspaper.
