Could you live on $7,000 per month? Illegal immigrants need money when they get to the US. It...

$7K Per month is $84K per year.
That's MUCH more than many people make on an annual basis.
Someone WORKING and making $20.00/hr x 40 hours per week = $800/week. You do the math, but that is much less than $7K per month.
Sounds like someone in Chicago is bad at math, or someone is lining their pockets.
I would suspect ther later.

It’s more than I make now.
I could easily retire or buy a new car or get a better apartment.

A hundred of my fellow employees make less money and still have a mortgage and new cars.
7000 a month is ten times more than my friend gets from social security disability TEN TIMES.

The same is spent on the homeless here and it's a mix of immigrants and migrant people of all nationalities. The city and state added taxes for income brackets above a certain level. That money sits in a coffer unspent and without a plan in place. Meanwhile hundreds of little houses are being built on city property. Free rent, $1000 cash a month, and free food. No incentive to get them back productive in society. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here are two "migrants" crossing the US-Mexico border. I guess rifles and body armor are in style with migrants these days.

If they end up in Chicago they'll probably be pulling in a little more than $7,000 per month.
Gee, I miss the days of legal immigration.

just add it to the list of what's wrong in this country

but also, I believe it, I spent half my life in a (small) city, 350k, rent for a 'whole-in-the-wall' apt tops $1,500, average mortgage is $4k,

a city as big as Chicago, I can spending $7k on support services
