Government handouts at the national and state level enable illegals who come here to have a standard of living that is better than half of Earth.
This creates a forcing function for half of Earth to move here.
They will do so, unless the border is secure.
QED.
“Illinois remains a place of stability and competent governance” is a sentence that has never before been uttered in the English language.
Illinois is reeling. State ranks first in tax burden, near last in job growth, last in equity. After spending most of $54 billion in COVID money it received and despite raising taxes during COVID, state, city, schools and CTA face massive deficits. Expect more taxes to come.
•State facing $3 billion deficit next year.
•Chicago facing almost $1 billion deficit this year
•Chicago Public Schools facing almost $1 billion deficit next year
•CTA facing $567 million deficit
Don’t expect change. No one in Illinois has the right to lecture anyone about Democracy. Not with the most gerrymandered legislative maps in the country virtually guaranteeing Democrats Supermajorities despite Trump getting 47% of the vote.
