Un-possible, illegals are a net gain to the economy. Drunk Nancy told me so, right after she told me every dollar the government spends increases the economy by $2.50.

Gee Willikers!

If only there was a way to stop this invasion by the world’s castoffs.....

Maybe democrat mayors could brainstorm and come up with a solution.

Recently they were talking about a mansion tax in Chicago. Not sure how much money that would raise .

Are they tapped out with sales tax, property tax, various business taxes? Any other creative tax they can come up with?

A tax on tickets to Cubs and White Sox games? A tax on “L” transit fares? Car taxes? Increase speeding ticket fines?

Even without the illegal aliens they would have a serious problem.

It’s got to be tough to be a mayor of a major Democratic stronghold , and facing the real world problems of balancing the budget

Just send part of the munitions to chicago that would be sent to Ukraine. Problem would solve itself.

Dear Governor Abbot,

Please send 50 more bus loads of “migrants” to Chicago. Drop them right outside City Hall. Then send 50 to Springfield IL and drop them in front of the Governor’s Mansion.

Thanks in advance.

Didn’t this happen to New York in the 1970s? Why are the 1970s back? Because the same idiocies are back.
