Right, JB. Know your rights as a Chicagoan and Illinois resident. You have a right to be mugged, shot, and/or raped probably by an undocumented guest whom we have welcomed and financed), you have a right to have your assailant(s) not caught, or if caught, not prosecuted or locked up, and for you to be forgotten except as a crime statistic (which will probably be downgraded so as not to make the law enforcement mockery appear as bad as it actually is. But don’t worry about those federal types; we’ll protect you from them.
Hey Pinhead check and see if you one of them are one of your peacekeepers. They seem to show up on arrest warrants alot
Good wait to get ILLEGALS to self deport . Keep it up and make Chicago safe .
Everyone agrees we have millions of illegal immigrants living in this country. The Dems don’t seem to have a problem with this and think it’s wrong and authoritarian to try to do anything about it. I don’t think “live and let live” applies in many cases here. If it does, let’s ask the Dems why we shouldn’t just leave our borders open indefinitely.
