Despite warning of cold temperatures, migrants choose to come to Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) – As CBS 2's Marybel Gonzalez reported, migrants are still choosing Chicago as their landing spot in the U.S. Even as temperatures drop in Chicago, the city continues to be a hot spot for new arrivals.

CBS 2 spoke with a person running some of the shelters along the southern border about why this could be. Martin said migrants have been choosing to go to cities all over the country, but the top destinations continue to be Denver, New York City, and Chicago.

"I think the predominate issue is that whether it be, in your case, probably unintentional, is they now have a support network within Chicago, support network meaning others that have preceded them at that point." That means family and friends who have already arrived in Chicago.

In El Paso, Martin and his staff inform migrants about conditions in destinations like Chicago. They've even posted signs at shelters to warn of Chicago's daily overnight temperatures to give migrants a visual of what to expect.
