With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
This bears repeating: Read Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History by Todd Bensman.
I’m rooting for Trump and Vance and Homan and Gov. Abbott and Operation Lone Star ….
Destabilization of existing communities through mass migration is a core tenet of modern communism rebranded into globohomo. Your existing community changes – seemingly overnight – and your tax dollars are supporting the new comers. You didn’t ask for these people, no one wants them here, and they have degraded your quality of life by every measure. And yet, there is nothing you can do about it. Native Canadians right now are very upset with the immigration changes. Nearly half the country of Canada is either foreign born or have one foreign born parent. In cities like Vancouver, native born Canadians… Read more »
Agreed: there are plenty of legal immigrants but the fact remains there are no good immigrants. The simple solution is to deport them all, regardless of status, and give us our communities back, and luckily we have a president who is smart enough to understand this.
This like the joke that there are plenty of good immigrants who work, pay taxes and follow the law. We want them deported too!
Maybe we ought to deport all their descendants, too. While we’re at it let’s be humble here by not assuming we’re superior human beings and make it retroactive. Only immigrants and their descendants here prior to passage of the U. S. Constitution would be exempt. Schaef, debtsor, me, and tens of millions more of worthless immigrants! You and shiftless Schaef might agree.
Maybe we should keep it a serious discussion instead of devolving into inanities that pass as clever comebacks in certain circles.
That would be great, but you’re not likely to see many adhere to your more academic point of view. This is a shoot first, ask questions later group much of the time. Those who spout ridiculous deserve more ridiculous in return.
But James, it’s not ridiculous and it’s exactly what Le Pen in France and the AfD in Germany is proposing: remigration they call it. They, thank goodness, never gave birthright citizenship to their immigrant populations so it wouldn’t be that difficult to give them 30k Euros each to go back home, voluntarily, or by force. I’d love to do the same here. The only reason why Biden allowed so many illegals in was to forever change the electorate to vote Democrat, they will try to pass mass amnesty in a decade or two and allow them to vote and they’ll… Read more »
Thanks for the blah, blah, blah. I’m not against giving people a monetary incentive to do something that’s clearly legal. Then, the decision is in their court. But, I’m against depriving people monetarily or to suggest legally sanctioned harm of any kind not to take that incentive and especially so where job performance isn’t the over-riding problem.
Debstor is right: we’ve deported unwelcome citizens before, and given how this country is going there is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t conduct another such operation.
The Libs will call it racism but let them. We need results.
FDR’s detainment centers: they worked.
Eisenhower’s roundups: they worked.
Trump’s first-term detention policy: it worked.
There are others but the point stands: we have gotten ourselves out of this mess before and by the grace of God and commonsense thinking, we will again.
In all honesty, I’d be OK with that, I have documented proof I am a Heritage American and if god ever gave me daughters, they’d be eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
It baffles me why the gotrid of David Harper. He actually made sense.
If the federal funding spigot can get shut off. That will put the squeeze on JB and the Dems. When they have to use more state $. That will expose them in a greater fashion.
JB doesn’t speak for Al IL citizens. Taxpayers do not want to pay for illegal immigrants over US citizens. The only ones who want to are his far left cronies.
