A homeless shelter on the West Side was bracing for a greater influx of evacuees from Haiti scheduled to arrive later today.
The Chicago Christian Industrial League shelter at 2750 W. Roosevelt Road is already working to get about 60 refugees off to their final destinations after they arrived from Haiti late Wednesday night.
Brian Rowland, manager for A Safe Haven Foundation Inc., which runs the shelter, said about 20 of the Haitians are already en route to New York, where they have relatives waiting. Another 40 are scheduled to leave for South Florida tomorrow, Rowland said.
OK, we're all for saving the poor and downtrodden. It's what America does. We are the most charitable, giving people in the history of the world, bar none. But why in the world would we fly sixty people 1,850 miles to Chicago, then ship 40 of them to South Florida and 20 more to New York? Don't tell us there aren't any direct flights to Florida or New York.
It's only 700 miles between Haiti and Miami. Why add a 2,000 mile detour? Who's making a buck on this one? That building on Roosevelt Road had Blago's wife making some obscene amount of money for BS - are they paying off her contract? Or someone's contract? Somebody is making some fast coin off this scam.
