Though Chicago is currently dealing with the fallout from thousands of migrants arriving in the city over the last two years, the City Council’s Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights heard Tuesday about how to better prepare for migration if it becomes increasingly frequent as populations are driven from their home countries due to climate change.

“It is in our best interest as a city to discuss how to be prepared because the migration will continue,” said immigration committee chair Ald. Andre Vasquez (40).
