Dozens of demonstrators chanting “basta ya” –or “enough” in Spanish – swarmed Village Hall Monday night to demand more action from officials to support asylum seekers just over the Oak Park/Chicago border.Their focus was on offering “dignified ways” to assist unhoused migrants and to get people out of the streets with the winter approaching."We're asking for support, but we're not asking for free services or charity. We want to work in a dignified manner to sustain our families," said Mimi, a Venezuelan immigrant who came to the U.S. with her husband and 2-year-old son. Her last name was withheld to protect her identity.She shared her story during the rally, highlighting the challenges faced by immigrants, including difficult living conditions and the burden of racism and anti-immigrant sentiments.
