As winter comes on, some Venezuelans are discovering that they’ve been played for chumps in a political game (UPDATED)

who do you suppose supplied these shirts?

As winter comes to Chicago, some Venezuelans are giving up and heading home.

Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune he has had enough after he, his wife and teenage stepdaughter spent five months sleeping either in a police precinct or a crowded city shelter in the now-brutally cold Windy City.

He’s also been unable to secure a job permit or enroll his daughter in a local school — two of the main reasons things they thought would bring a better life in the US.

“The American Dream doesn’t exist anymore,” Castejon told the paper on the eve of his family’s departure.

“There’s nothing here for us … We just want to be home,” Castejon told the Tribune of the South American country he earlier fled.

“If we’re going to be sleeping in the streets here, we’d rather be sleeping in the streets over there.”

I truly feel sorry for these people, and pity them; they endured terrible hardships to get here, lured by Biden’s handlers’ feckless invitation to come up and enjoy the bounty of America. How were they to know that this administration’s “plan” extended only to tearing down fences and opening the border, and made no provision for caring for them once they arrived, dumping that burden on states instead.

Of course, those “sanctuary” states now refusing help to these poor saps are also to blame: like Biden, they were engaging in a political charade to discredit Trump, and never thought beyond that scheme to wonder what would happen when their invitation was accepted. FAFO.

UPDATE: Reader 110GS (no, I don’t know what that refers to either) notes that the Bee was, as usual, way ahead on this story.
