Shuttered hotels, city colleges and police stations all have become shelters for the over 10,000 migrants who have arrived in Chicago since last August."There is not enough money left in government to help month after month for the thousands of people coming to our cities," said Netza Roldán with the Binational Institute of Human Development.
