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.
Members of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, including the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, HANA Center and Jewish Council on Urban Affairs . should go pound sand!
No more tax dollars spent on illegals . Stop the insanity!
More meaningful title: Bring Back Big Business Head Tax To Drive Big Business Out Of Chicago.
I have a counter proposal. Declare an end to sanctuary status for Chicago and Illinois, and send illegals back to where they came from, and pronto. Problem solved and no additional taxes needed.
Yep. I think we can now say Chicago and Illinois drastically underestimated the adverse financial impact of taking on so many illegal immigrants. Once again, Chicago and Illinois are known for their drastic under- or overestimates, whichever furthers their cause.
Well too darn bad. Maybe our gas bag Governor and Mayor should not have hyped the sanctuary city myth and given these folks the impression that everything in life was going to be handed to them for free. Now they are getting a quick lesson in how the Democrats lie even to their own people.
