Citizens of foreign countries come to America illegally because Democrat and RINO leaders want them to. Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINOs want cheap labor.

— Jan. 4 status hearing ordered in 5th Amendment challenge to Illinois’ gun ban. Banned item registry doubles but remains less than 1%. – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Democrats ever-increasingly use illegal use of semiautomatic guns to abolish Second Amendment rights. Anticipate/expect that Pritzker will force county sheriffs and states attorneys to arrest and perp walk those who own the banned guns, who do not register, who promote Second Amendment rights, who voted for Trump, and who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, married, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Further, anticipate/expect that Democrats will publish the names and addresses of those who register, harass them, and even worse things.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_cc6518ee-a5a4-11ee-9793-67dcc62eb4c7.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There is no protections for the registrants having the information used against them, so the Supreme Court declared that unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment,” Maag said. In Maag’s case last week, McGlynn ordered a status hearing to be held Jan. 4. The state is looking to delay that into the second week of January. That’s after the Jan. 1 registration deadline. Of the 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders in Illinois, about 15,100, or 0.63%, of FOID card holders have registered as of this week’s update from ISP. That’s nearly double the number of individuals registering than reported the week before. John Boch of Guns Save Life said the compliance rate heading into the final days is dismal. “There are millions of gun owners in Illinois who haven’t registered a thing, 99.4% noncompliance rate,” Boch told The Center Square. “That’s pretty astounding.” Boch said residents have options like destroying or turning over the now banned items to law enforcement. “Other options include rehoming your firearm outside of Illinois,” Boch said. “That’s an option a lot of people including myself have chosen to get the gun out of Illinois and out of reach of the governor.” The Illinois State Rifle Association said it cannot provide legal advice, but that another option is to keep the firearm and do not register. “This option is also based on the assumption that [the U.S. Supreme Court] will strike down the law. As a consequence of this option, firearm owners could face prosecution and imprisonment,” ISRA said in a statement. “As an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you.” Those found with banned items that are not registered with Illinois State Police could face a Class A misdemeanor on the first offense and a Class 3 felony for second and subsequent offenses. Rules for the gun ban registry are not finalized. Emergency rules in place since mid-September have not been officially updated by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. They meet again Jan. 16 in Springfield, where the bipartisan legislative body could accept gun ban registry rules on second notice.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new rules would empower the commission to prosecute internet service providers for alleged discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and other protected classes, as well as income. The rules empower the FCC to “crack down on digital inequities,” as The Associated Press put it. By which the commission might mean, for example, punishing companies for building infrastructure in neighborhoods where the agency expects people actually will buy it. The newly Democrat-dominated FCC allegedly imposed the new rules to “eliminate discrimination” in access to internet services. By which the commission means the uneven rollout of 5G service, itself stymied by regulatory red tape.)

— The Shift Away From Degree-Driven Hiring – Neha Naik (COMMENT: If I had not had a bachelor’s degree in management, Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970 and IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not had an MBA and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. If I had not had a master’s degree in accounting, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, and became a licensed CPA, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not been taking courses toward a master’s degree in financial markets and trading, my Democrat GAO superiors would have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)

LINKED IN
— How to Ask for a Promotion Effectively (COMMENT: Have you asked for promotions? My Democrat GAO superiors were beyond furious when the GAO manager who had arranged for my transfer from IRS in 1980 and who had been finally able to get me assigned to an audit of IRS in early 1986, promoted me to GS-13 (currently $115,439/year) in late 1986. They forced him to retire in 1987, they threw me off audits of IRS in late 1988, they gave me a bad job assignment in early 1989, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an unfair performance appraisal for that assignment, and they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had not become an active member in a class action lawsuit in late 1988 that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
