The Biden administration said it would grant nearly half a million Venezuelan migrants temporary protective status, which will allow them to live and work in the U.S. legally.
On Monday, a group rallied in Pilsen to ask that the same benefit be extended to others. CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey had more on the demands for the nearly half a million undocumented people already living in Illinois.
Laura Mendoza, an immigration organizer for the Pilsen-based Resurrection Project, said they're calling on the federal government to provide the same benefits to undocumented people already living in the country. Chicago has received over 17,000 new arrivals since August of 2022, but Chicago already had an undocumented population of roughly 180,000.And rallies like Monday's are part of a nationwide push to allow undocumented immigrants an easier path to be able to work."Not just for us, but for everyone who has been working hard for so many years," said Gamino.
