Thousands of migrants scramble to find homes and work as mass evictions from Chicago shelters loom

More than 13,000 people are under pressure to find homes and work before they are mass-evicted from city-operated shelters.

… in interviews last week with more than a dozen migrants, many who spoke to NBC News expressed fear that they won’t make that deadline, especially because it is nearly impossible for the newest arrivals to get rental assistance and quick access to work permits. Advocates say it’s unlikely that everyone will be able to successfully transition out of the shelters and instead will need to reapply for access to another shelter. They fear some will end up homeless.

“I can’t even sleep. I’m staying up all night thinking,” Cinfuentes said. “It makes me sick.”

            I apologize. I’m on a bit of a tear. I used to be very proud to be an American, and now I am only pissed off.
