At the rate the lawfare is going, we’ll soon be seeing headlines like “Trump ordered to pay Chicago $300 million because... um... well... He wanted to build a fence! Yeah, that’s it! He wanted to build a fence!”

10 TRILLION soon.

Are they not a santuary city?

[Chode]

from what i can tell

Favorite Healthcare Staffing was bought by Acacium Group which was bought by Onex Corporation

Onex

That’s what I thought, too, that Chicongo was a sanctuary city.

Democrats made this problem, I guess they can fix it. Hope they don’t go to the Federal Government and ask for a hand out. Maybe some of the Union Bosses that rule the roost can come up with a plan.

And when does it end? It doesn’t.

You would think that a fiasco such as this would result in a regime change but, since there is no political alternative in Chicago, and not much of one in Illinois, and the General Assembly districts are gerrymanded to give the Democrats a supermajority, the people of Illinois, those who voted for this and, unfortunately, those who didn’t, are SOL.

What’s NOT included is the loss of property and decreased public welfare due to illegals’ activities, either.

I always get a blank stare when I ask any open borders advocate this simple question:

The United States has 4% of the world's land area, 5% of the world's population and roughly 70% of the world's population living elsewhere who would like to come here. How do you decide who should be allowed to do so?

[Bonemaker]

“About $206 million of the total has gone to Favorite Healthcare Staffing to operate the city-run shelters.”

Connected outfit. $205 million is now in Switzerland,

BLM burned cities for much less. They are silent as blacks are told to get to the back of the bus.

And funds expended by the Federal Governmnet?

[Newbomb Turk]

Governor JB Pritzker just proposed $1.1 billion in NEW taxes in his budget address to pay for nearly $1 billion in programs and services for migrants and illegal immigrants.

If the residents of the state keep voting for these liberals, they should enjoy those huge tax increases they also voted for.

Sadly I know there are good people that inhabit other parts of the state and my heart goes out to them cause the big city keeps screwing them.

I’m sure Chicago’s lower-income black constituents are so happy for the “migrants”...more than glad to see hundreds of millions spent on the migrants, at the expense of lower-income black constituents...
