Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
And this is a problem? This law, actually is a good thing, it provides just the kind of incentive we need over a system that takes immigrants and simply puts them on the welfare roles. If folks are coming in with resources in hand, be it deal making to create a business, or skill sets the country can benefit from like doctors, scientists, etc. that is a good thing. Current immigration incentives are to enroll in our wonderful social welfare systems, and not our opportunities to work hard and grow rich.
Agreed.
