For many of the more than 19,000 migrants who arrived in Chicago after crossing the southern border, getting a city ID, known as a CityKey, is the first step toward putting down roots in Chicago. More than 1,000 people – mostly migrants – lined up hours before the city clerk’s event Oct. 12, overwhelming the 15-person staff, City Clerk Anna Valencia 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.
Maybe the 15 person staff should work a little hard, a little faster, and a little longer, to take care of these illegal immigrants.
