Ald. Andre Vasquez, chair of the Committee on Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said they've instead been focusing on “on-the-ground” engagement in neighborhoods, like hosting Know-Your-Rights workshops. With the federal government controlling immigration policies, “It’s a little bit challenging to get things done via hearing when there’s not much legislatively that the city can do,” he said.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Vasquez, like many “ activists “ , is probably sitting around enjoying all that extra money for doing absolutely nothing.
So what? What is that committee going to do about it? Other than caterwaul about the “injustice” of ICE arresting and deporting illegals?
