>> WE'LL GET TO THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY DELEGATION TO TEXAS IN A FEW MINUTES.

BUT FIRST, HURRICANE IOTA STRUCK A POLITICAL GET YESTERDAY LEAVING AT LEAST 27 DEAD AND FOR PEOPLE MISSING.

ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF MIGRANTS AND INTERNATIONAL FARES OF GET IT ALL.

THE CHICAGO AREA IS HOME TO THE SECOND LARGEST POPULATION OF GET IT.

WILL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD JUST AFTER A LIVING A TROUBLESOME REALITY FOR ILLINOIS INS WITH RELATIVES IN THEIR HOMELAND.

JOINING US NOW TO DISCUSS ON THE LOCAL LEVEL AND MORE CONSUL GENERAL OF MEXICO CHICAGO.

TRAIN THOUGHT AS MONDAY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

NOW.

I WANT TO START OF HURRICANE OTIS HAS AND TESTIFY INTENSIFIED FROM A TROPICAL STORM INTO A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE.

>> THE MOST SEVERE CATEGORY IN JUST 12 HOURS.

WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM PEOPLE HERE IN CHICAGO?

YOU KNOW, HOW ARE THEIR FAMILIES?

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

>> IT WAS A VERY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE.

THE WAY DOES DEVELOP.

BUT THE THE TRAGEDY IS THAT LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED IN MEXICO.

AND AS YOU MENTIONED, ONE OF THE LARGEST COMMUNITY PEOPLE FROM HERE IN THIS AREA HERE IN IN CHICAGO.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 358,000 PERSONS JUST IN THIS AREA.

NOT REALLY RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR THE RELATIVES SO YOU KNOW, THE CHALLENGES THAT THEY HAVE TO OVERCOME BACK IN MEXICO, MANY THE COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN RESTARTED BY LITTLE BY NOW, THERE DATA FROM SERVICE BECAUSE HE WAS SUSPENDED FOR ONE WITH ELECTRICITY.

BUT THE SERVICES ARE COMING BACK NEARBY.

LITTLE US.

I SAID SO THE RED CROSS IS HELPING THEY THE FIRST IS TO LOCATE THEIR RELATIVES IN MEXICO.

AND OF COURSE, THEY HOMETOWN ASSOCIATIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN A WE'RE ALSO HELPING.

AND IS LOOKING FOR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO GET CALLS AT THE COUNCIL.

YES, WE HAVE AND WE ARE REFERRING THEM EVEN WITH THE RED CROSS THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE HANDLING THAT A BASE OF PERSONS AFFECTED.

BUT THE SITUATION IS REALLY, REALLY SAD.

AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A VERY AND GOOD HEARTED COMMUNITY HERE THAT THE SUNDAY THAT I THINK WAS SHOWN IMMEDIATELY RIGHT NOW SAYS, AS YOU KNOW, IN THIS KIND OF STIRS NATURALLY MATTER OF PREJUDICE, YOU KNOW, THAT COMPLICATED.

THEY HAVE ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS, SAY MENTIONED SO SO I THINK OTHERWISE.

THING WE ALL CAN DO DONATE TO THE RED CROSS, THE MEXICAN RED CROSS SO THEY CAN CHANT OF THOSE RESOURCES.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO ASK IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS WITH SO MUCH DESTRUCTION.

WHAT TAKES PRIORITY?

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TO THE NATHAN KIND RIGHT NOW.

PEOPLE MAY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, SEND NOTES OR OR FOOD.

>> BUT SINCE THE ACCESS IS VERY LIMITED, THAT RIGHT NOW, THE MEXICAN.

ALL RIGHT.

ME IS WORKING ESTABLISHING OPENING HIGHWAYS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITIES.

AND, YOU KNOW, BIG CITIES LIKE A PORT CALL.

WE'RE IN COMMUNICATED FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS OF SOME HOURS.

BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW THAT THE COMMITTEE BEEN ESTABLISHED.

YOU CAN IMAGINE IN THE REMOTE AREAS HEALTH COMPANY CANDIDATE IS.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO THE NATHAN KIND.

THIS IS A TIME TO LOOK FOR THE RED CROSS.

THE MEXICAN RED CROSS HELP THAT WAY.

IF YOU WANT THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.

I WANT TO SWITCH TOPICS SPEAKING IMMIGRATION.

>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE CLIMATE WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW WHEN IT COMES TO THIS TOPIC?

WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF PUSHBACK HERE IN CHICAGO TO THE THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS BEING SENT FROM THE BORDER BY GOVERNOR ABBOTT.

IT'S A VERY COMPLEX SITUATION.

WHAT I ALWAYS SAY IS THAT YOU WANT TO FIND ONE OUR SOLUTION.

YOU ARE RON, YOU'RE MISTAKEN FROM THE BEGINNING.

THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX SITUATION.

AND FIRST, THE FLOODING CANNOT BE RESOLVED.

>> BY JUST ONE COUNTRY, YOU HAVE GET IT REGIONALLY BECAUSE DOESN'T START IN MEXICO AT THE BORDER.

PEOPLE MAY FIND THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE IMMIGRATION FLOWS HERE IN CHICAGO.

AND THEY MAY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY APPEAR OF THE BORDER, THE MEXICAN BORDER AND ONE DAY THEIR SON HERE IS NOT SIMPLE AS THAT.

ORIGINATED IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CONTINENT.

SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON IN ALL THOSE COUNTRIES THAT THEY TRAVEL TO COME HERE TO CHICAGO.

THE SECOND IS THAT IF YOU THINK THAT IS JUST MATTER OF ENFORCEMENT, THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THE ROOT CAUSES IMMIGRATION AND THEY HAVE TO DO WITH CLIMATE CHANGE.

THEY HAVE TO DO WITH THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATION IN MANY COUNTRIES.

SO THAT OR HAS TO BE, YOU KNOW, MULTI PURPOSE MULTA ANSWER.

NOT NOT JUST ONE SIDE.

>> NOW WITH THIS RECENT INFLUX OF NEW ARRIVALS, A MAJORITY ARE FROM VENUS.

WELL, I WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU'VE SEEN AN INCREASE OF MEXICANS STILL TRYING TO MIGRATE HERE.

>> THERE YOU GET.

THERE ARE FROM MANY COUNTRIES TRYING TO COME HERE.

HAITI IS ONE OF THE OTHER NATIONALITIES CUBA ONE OF THE OTHER WHAT I FOUND REALLY ENCOURAGING IS THAT THERE IS IMPULSE FOR IT.

A MULTILATERAL CONVERSATIONS.

I KNOW THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT.

AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING.

SUMMER PATRICIAN FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN A RANGE ALREADY FROM PERSONS THE CAME TO THE U.S. WITH A HOPE TO GET ASYLUM AND THEY KNOW THAT THEIR PROCESSES WILL NOT SUCCESSFUL.

SO AT THIS TIME THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, IN THE POSITION TO GO BACK TO THE TO GET TO THE COUNTRY'S.

I THINK THAT'S ENCOURAGING AT LEAST TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS TO WORK WITH EACH OTHER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT THE DIGNITY AND TO ADDRESS HUMAN ASPECTS OF THIS PHENOMENA.

>> NOW WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE SECONDS.

I DO WANT TO ASK YOU SMILE.

WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT DAY OF THE DEAD, YOU CELEBRATE.

VIEW THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF AND THE REASON THAT WE HAVE.

AND OF COURSE, THAT'S ALSO WAY THAT THEY HAVE THAT THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

>> AS IT'S A GOOD TIME TO REMEMBER YOUR FRIEND SOME TIME PASS THE THAT'S THE WAY SO THE
