On Federal Spending:
“The federal government is in debt because it spends too much, not because it taxes people too little. Government spending is classified as either discretionary or mandatory. Discretionary spending includes funds for things like the military and is explicitly set by Congress on an annual basis. But the major culprit in ballooning budgets is mandatory spending for entitlement programs like medicare, expenditures which are determined by the number of beneficiaries. The only way to control the budget is to reform the entitlement programs that mandatory spending funds. Those decisions on how to allocate resources are as economically necessary as they are politically and ethically difficult. ”

Immigration Fight Dividing Carpentersville

“...Trustee Paul Humpfer, who wrote the “Illegal Alien Immigration Relief Act Ordinance,” claimed ambulance bills were high because illegal immigrants were taking advantage of the health care system and said rental housing was overcrowded.

Those who support the measure also have complained about strained schools, increased crime and even public urination....”

If the government in Washington is unable to enforce the law why pass more laws?
