As I stated, I’m not their biggest cheerleaders, but they’re not looting the local BestBuy or carjacking folks in the parking lot of Walmart. So, until the whole visa and immigration system undergoes a complete overhaul to protect Americans, I’ll begrudgingly shrug my shoulders.

We vote for the people that are allowing all of this to happen. Time for folks to step up, when they can or be more conscientious of who they’re voting for.

In my world, my policies and procedures on the border, immigration, visas, visa overstayers, student visas, tourist visas would probably make President Trump’s seem a bit mild.

The Wuhan of democrat voters.

It’s that city and the surrounding area, plus you might have two more.

Sadly, outside of the Chicago area, Illinois is a farming state. Known for some of the best whitetail hunting in the country with some legit monsters roaming the fields. And all those folks have to live under the thumb of some of the most corrupt people on the planet.

Absolutely ZERO reason some farmer and deer hunter in Central or Southern Illinois should have to deal with those insane gun laws enacted by those clowns in Springfield and because of Chicago.

- My relatively upscale community here in Frisco is primarily Indians. -

A number of them have purchased a home in my Plano neighborhood also.

14 blue out of 102 counties with only Cook making the real difference.

I’m in the oil and gas business here in the Permian Basin and what I’m seeing coming in at least in this area isn’t a bunch of woke liberals, it’s just the opposite, they’re tired of woke liberals.

The politics of a CEO and BOD has little if anything to do with the companies employees politics.

Unmentioned is the strong move of Hispanics away from the Left.

"I’d love to see someone do a model on how the political make up would shift it at least the Governor and Lt Governor positions were decided by an electoral college type procedure in states."

Now THAT is a very good idea. And no need for any involvement at all by the FedGov...it is totally a state constitutional issue.

That’s Illinois, right?

That is in-effin-sane that a hair over 10% of the counties, with Cook being the main culprit, can do what they want. Probably the foundation on which so many of the problems in this country are built on.

Show me a study of some kind proving your claim that Companies with Liberal management also have a majority of liberals in the 9-5 workers.

I’ll wait for your reply but I won’t hold my breath.

I’d like to see it done just in a theoretical study, if nothing else.

Could end up being rather informative for some(on the Right) and scare the bejesus out of others(on the Left). Just imagine if it was every county no matter how small gets 3 votes. Those votes can even be apportioned if it’s close.

Overwhelmingly Republican(66% or more) all 3 go to the Republican or vice versa.

Its close but the either side wins, 2 votes to the winning party, 1 vote to the loser.

The collar counties around Cook used to be red but too many Chicago types moved there. Rockford in the center on north border is union and minority. Downstate there’s Peoria...union and college, Champaign...college, Carbondale..college, East St. Louis...minority, and Rock Island..college, union and minority.

East St Louis is an absolute dump. Needless to say, those areas shouldn’t run the state, just as Portland, Salem and Beaverton shouldn’t run Oregon. And Seattle, Olympia shouldn’t run Washington.

The list goes on and if Idaho and Montana don’t pay attention, it could soon happen there.

Another thing which seems to have escaped DesertRhino is that when a company moves interstate only a tiny % of the rank and file will follow because the expenses of moving are not covered by the company except in the case of the senior executives.

It then follows the new hires made by the company from the native population (in Conservative States) are likely to be Conservative.
