US warns illegal migrants of the dark side of America

The US has always benefited from immigration over the centuries and people from all over the world want to come and live there. It's the nation of the American dream, the nation where a citizen with a non-American background can become president. So of course millions of migrants have been queuing up to cross the Mexican border to start this new golden wonder-life. But so desperate a crisis has the migrant problem become that the State Department has actually put out a video on Facebook which warns would-be American citizens of the grim reality of being an illegal in the US. You will end up on the streets of big cities such as New York and Chicago and San Francisco, the video warns. And as the winter approaches you can expect nothing but freezing cold and no food and downwpours of rain and snow huddled under blankets on the pavements. I don't think the State Department has ever before resorted to such foreboding messages. It probably won't stop the people from trying to enter the US but this is in fact the reality. America's cities are getting crammed full of desperate people begging for food and shelter on the streets. This winter will probably be the worst ever for these great cities. Who is doing anything about it - apart from the State Department with its dire warnings of misery ahead?
