Yes it’s a given that anyone who can afford to own the Chicago Cubs are very wealthy and politically connected. That said I live close to Wrigley Field. They employ thousands of people who seem quite happy to be employed. I see no signs they are employing cheap labor illegal. They’ve spent a ton of money improving Wrigley and the Cubs are in the running for a World Series. If they want to donate money to Rubio or whoever its a free country... I guess till Trump is elected
