I mean…probably not.
But governments have never been good at central planning or determining outcomes, and the Chicago governments of the past weren’t shining exemplars of managing immigration either.
This is all about whether the city, meaning the regular people, can adapt, and whether people who had the will and daring to journey across a dangerous continent can make their own futures.
But if the people of the 1800s could do it under worse circumstances, then I’m not crying doom over current ones.
