Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Yes, one system and approach. RETURN THEM TO THE COUNTRY FROM WHICH THEY EMIGRATED. And, should they ever try to return through any but the legal process, they lose the ability to ever come back.

Immigration was based on assimilation. Learn the language – contribute to the concept that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Identity politics killed this.
RIP USA. Welcome to the USSA.
Three generations from now, the progeny these people will still be unassimilated, in their own separate and parallel communities, and they will be loyal Democrat voters. That’s the goal of this all. America will be a country of religious and ethnic sects with little overlap between the two. We are already half-way there.

When will the government start helping actual citizens with their day to day troubles and problems and stop wasting money?
The nonprofit workforce? The Dems are great at wordsmithing.
