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.
Well maybe Urbana and many other cities need to more concerned for their law abiding, tax paying, legal citizens instead of the criminals. And they are all criminals when and if they came into this country illegally.
Wasn’t it in Urbana where the illegal under the influence plowed into some students, killing at least one female ? I wonder how her family is feeling about the safety, well- being and inclusion?
That’s your argument, cherry picking ONE situation in ONE place and trying to make political hay out of it giving the impression it likely happens lots of times everywhere—all because we have immigration thought by many to have run amuck? It’s those damn immigrant? Give me a break!
Illegals have killed many people in many places by driving under the influence. It is far from one incident. And again, one has to wonder how the parents of the dead girl feel while some schmoe goes on about safety blah blah. Give us a break and admit that letting 10-20M illegals into the country unfettered only to be supported with billions of tax dollars was a bad move designed to sway the election for Democrats.
