Rahm Invites Puerto Ricans To Chicago After Hurricane Destroys Island

[mucifer]

CITY HALL — Mayor Rahm Emanuel Monday said Chicago would invite "tens of thousands" of Puerto Ricans left without food, water, clothing or shelter after Hurricane Maria all but destroyed the island to move to the city.

Emanuel, flanked by dozens of Latino aldermen and city officials along with U.S. Rep Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), said city officials had begun planning a sustained effort to help victims of the hurricane find new homes in Chicago.

"Chicago, in my view, will be living up to what it means to be a sanctuary city," Emanuel said, declining to say precisely how many Puerto Ricans he expected to move to Chicago in the wake of what he said was a disaster caused by "climate change."

3. What?

Do you have to get federal approval to move to another state?

Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. They can move where the fuck they want within the US. Chicago is offering financial help to move, which some people may need.
