Since September, Chicago has taken in thousands of migrants from Texas under Gov. Greg Abbott’s controversial program, "Operation Lone Star," in which he has bused those who have crossed the border to three American cities. What is the view from El Paso? How has Illinois managed the influx? What is the fate of those coming in and what tensions around Chicago’s housing and other infrastructure have been revealed in this crisis?
Featuring former Congressman Beto O'Rourke, Illinois Deputy Governor Sol Flores, and The Resurrection Project's Eréndira Rendón. Moderated by Chicago Tribune reporter Laura Rodríguez Presa.
