Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
I believe the $300 mil is JUST what city taxpayers have spent on the migrant mess to date and does NOT include the $478 mil allocated to migrants in state budget thru 2024, plus additional $65 mil state sent to Chicago (per state web site: https://illinoiscomptroller.gov/financial-reports-data/data-sets-portals/chartsgraphs/asylum-seekers). Plus whatever crazy sum of state medicaid $ are spent on the migrants…..all for 38,000 migrants??? INSANITY!!!!
Had enough…………SEND THEM PACKING!!
