Durbin, Duckworth among Democratic senators urging Biden to allow states to sponsor noncitizens to expand workforce – The Hill

Text of letter linked here. "[I]n recent years, our nation has experienced a significant increase in migration to our southern border. Many migrants are ready, capable, and willing to meet our nation's workforce needs. Recent analysis demonstrates that a rebound in immigration in the last year has helped ease labor supply pressures."

Expand the population of future welfare supported Democrat voters is what this amounts to.

If these illegals were qualified for any type of responsible job, such as electrician, plumber, etc., they wouldn’t have left their home country. Why aren’t the labor unions howling because the jobs they take will come from union laborers? About the only jobs they will qualify for will be cutting lawns and cleaning tables. Or, off the books jobs that wouldn’t meet building codes or other regulations. What jobs around your house or business would you want these people to do, especially with the language barrier?

There are able bodied people, citizens and noncitizens alike, receiving public aid, healthcare, food, education, general assistance, and charity. Durbin and Duckworth have no problem with these people not working – they’ve both repeatedly voted against any form of ‘workfare’.

So how many ditch digging, house keeping, landscaping, and wrench turning jobs are there in Chicago going unfilled? Maybe some of the establishment types here who have bought into the nuttiness of all this can explain that?

Eliminate welfare and there will be plenty of Americans seeking work. Democrats working for a living instead of voting for a living…a new concept.

Hmm, will this include those child laborers I’ve been reading about.

Illinois has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, and the two stooges want to have illegals take available jobs? Genius!

It seems Senators Durbin, Duckworth, Warren et al haven’t seen the stories about their “workforce” sleeping on the floor of police stations. They missed the letters from mayors insisting that border states stop sending “workforce” members to their cities.

And do these senators wonder why so many of the refugees are from Venezuela, where 20 years ago the voters elected Chavez? The man who ran on a platform almost identical to what the progressives want to implement here?

Maybe while Kamala is working on root causes, she can examine the recent history of Venezuela.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
