Here’s what I don’t understand, according to ABC 7 Chicago this morning it was being reported by them that the illegals that arrived the other day some already have jobs, how in the hell is this even possible, my god this state’s death spiral is closer than we think.
In Central Illinois they are quickly putting legit, long time roofing contractors (who pay the local wage) out of business. There’s progress for you.
The carpenters union has been using illegal aliens for many many year.
