shelter for immigrant children

Residents in a Chicago suburb are opposing plans to provide a new shelter for undocumented Indian and Chinese children: Suburban Chicago residents oppose shelter for immigrant children. The children, apprehended after entering the country illegally without a parent or guardian, are currently held in a federal immigrant shelter, a former nursing home near the city's lakefront that houses. They spend months there—mostly indoors—before they know whether they will be deported or allowed to stay. The plan is to provide more room by converting a 2.5-acre estate near Naperville into a first-rate facility for the kids. But the neighbors ain't having it!
