Texas migrants bused to Chicago by Gov. Greg Abbott will need long-term support, according to some groups like the Little Village Community Council.
"We want to help by giving them a big welcome by providing them as simple as a pair of socks, underwear, t-shirts. Some of them have been wearing the same underwear for a month now," said Baltazar Enriquez, who heads the nonprofit.
Enriquez said some of the new arrivals need money to send back home to support their families and to pay off loans they took out for their journey to the U.S."Those loan sharks are going to go after their families if they don't pay back their loans," he said. "If anybody needs anybody to cut their grass, clean their houses and you want to pay them cash, you can come here to the community council.
"We need to advocate also for the federal government to allow them to have work authorization documents so they can work and then pay their own rent. But until then they have to be dependent on organization like ours," Favi said.
