Greg Abbott began putting people who had arrived at the U.S. border onto buses and sending them to Democrat-led cities in an effort to pressure the federal government to enact stricter immigration restrictions.

Colin [Boyle] and I and Diane [Bou Khalil] and Jesus [Montero] spent a couple afternoons at Union Station greeting people and immediately we knew we wanted to start on a broader story, something bigger, which eventually developed into After the Buses,\u201d Block Club Chicago\u2019s Madison Savedra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FuMGP5ABGaI\">explained during a discussion panel on the project<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  media-caption\" >\n\t<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FuMGP5ABGaI?start=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After The Buses Panel With Block Club and Borderless<\/p>\n<p><em>Block Club Chicago<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>In those early days, Borderless reporters went to Union Station and gave out flyers to newly arrived migrants that said in Spanish, \u201cDo you want to share your story with a reporter? Send us a message or call us.\u201d Many of the migrants didn\u2019t have access to a cell phone and didn\u2019t have a phone number. The idea was that when they did get access to service, Wi-Fi or a stable phone number, and were ready to talk, they might still have our information through the flyer.<\/p>\n<p>Borderless continued our comprehensive reporting, bringing context and understanding to what was happening while we worked on connecting with our sources.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-we-learned\">What We Learned<\/h2>\n<p>Migrants Borderless spoke with and advocates who worked with them were concerned about long-term housing and employment support, especially because most of the migrants would need to apply for asylum. The asylum process can be long and difficult for many to navigate on their own. So our Contributing Reporter Chelsea Verstegen looked into the state of legal resources and <a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/2022\/10\/13\/an-overwhelmed-immigration-system-is-facing-a-shortage-of-attorneys-amid-a-growing-backlog-of-cases\/\">found a shortage of immigration attorneys who handle asylum cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the migrants Borderless spoke with are from Central and South America, mainly from Venezuela, a country that has struggled with a political and severe economic crisis resulting in food and medicine shortages, surging inflation, and more. Borderless spoke with the cofounder of the Illinois Venezuelan Association, Ana Gil Garcia, who has been at the forefront of the situation in Chicago, helping migrants with their immediate needs, such as food and clothing. In our story, <a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/2022\/12\/01\/more-than-25-of-venezuelans-have-left-their-country-and-are-finding-new-homes-in-places-like-chicago\/\">Gil Garcia explained why 25% of Venezuela\u2019s population has left Venezuela and how Chicagoans are welcoming Venezuelan migrants.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fws_69d9650ed703c\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone border_bottom_desktop_1px border_color_000000 border_style_solid \"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_sep_color_black wpb_content_element vc_separator-has-text\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><h4 id=\"read-more-of-our-coverage\">Read More of Our Coverage<\/h4><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts-container pk-inline-posts-template-list\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-columns=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<article id=\"post-18150\" class=\"post-18150 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-immigration-policy tag-anagil\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-outer\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay pk-overlay-ratio pk-ratio-landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay-background\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2022\/12\/01\/more-than-25-of-venezuelans-have-left-their-country-and-are-finding-new-homes-in-places-like-chicago\/\" class=\"pk-overlay-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/22.09.08-Migrant-buses-3_featured.jpg\" class=\"attachment-pk-thumbnail size-pk-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"migrants deboard a bus from Texas\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pk-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2022\/12\/01\/more-than-25-of-venezuelans-have-left-their-country-and-are-finding-new-homes-in-places-like-chicago\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">What\u2019s Behind Venezuelan Migrants Coming to Chicago?<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pk-meta-author meta-author\"><span class=\"author vcard\"><a class=\"url fn n\" href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/author\/diane-bou-khalil\/\" title=\"View all posts by Diane Bou Khalil\">Diane Bou Khalil<\/a><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sep\">\u00b7<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pk-meta-date meta-date\"><a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2022\/12\/01\/more-than-25-of-venezuelans-have-left-their-country-and-are-finding-new-homes-in-places-like-chicago\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">diciembre 1, 2022<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .post-inner -->\n\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .post-outer -->\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>Meanwhile, Borderless recruited reporters and photojournalists who spoke Spanish and could also talk to people on the spot.
