— Cost to apply, demand explain why only 1% of migrants in Chicago have work permits – SABRINA FRANZA (COMMENT: Ald. Bill Conway (34th) says “the jobs are there.” Exactly what jobs? What are the requirements for those jobs including education, work experience, physical abilities, and language skills? What education, work experience, health, language, and other qualifications do illegals have? What do those jobs pay? What benefits do they come with? What advancement opportunities do they offer? What are the working conditions? Do illegals want these jobs? Will illegals take these jobs? Why are these jobs unfilled? Are they bad jobs that Americans refuse to take? Did you take bad jobs that your peers refused to take? I did. I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1964, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxers 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/migrant-work-permit-cost/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTjKWr49mrE
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The number really boils down to three things: the cost of the application, the availability of documents, and the significant demand. “So, the jobs are there. We just have to get them the right status,” said Ald. Bill Conway (34th), explaining why so few asylum seekers have received their work permits. “The only ones eligible are people that were here before August 1st and that are from Venezuela, essentially.” The cost to fill out the application is over $400. There is a form to waive that cost. Conway’s office has helped some asylum seekers fill that out as part of a 31-page application to get the permit. Turnaround time is about two months. “The demand is extremely high compared to how much work permits are actually being processed and distributed,” said Emilio Araujo, the director of development and communications at Onward House. The nonprofit organization has helped countless immigrants resettle not just over the past two years, but during its decades-long history. “When someone comes to the city and they are looking to get find their footing, we are one of the first places that they might go because we do all the case management support,” Araujo. CBS 2 spoke to Araujo about the demand for work permits that Onward House has been seeing after CBS 2 was shown city data suggesting only 1% of asylum seekers in Chicago successfully received their work authorizations and social security numbers. “About 90% of the people that we see, of the new immigrants, are looking for a work permit, and we refer those out, and then about 10% of those people end up actually applying for a work permit, and then only 1% as well end up having that work permit,” Araujo said. A spokesperson with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office said the city has been helping asylum seekers apply for work permits since 2022 and has partnered with the state, nonprofits and the federal government to expedite the application process. The city began expedited clinics in partnership with The Resurrection Project and the state and federal government to help migrants with the application on Nov. 9. “The City is committed to providing the necessary resources to aid asylum-seekers on their path to self-sufficiency and independence,” the spokesperson said. Conway is planning to host another legal clinic later this month to help more asylum seekers fill out an application.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/2/24017662/chicago-migrant-crisis-president-biden-immigration-federal-funding-major-johnson-editorial
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Disburse migrants nationwide. . .The mayors also want the Biden administration to create a federally-run system to fairly disburse migrants to locations across the country, ending ‘Air Abbott’ and his politically motivated transport policies that have dropped off migrants in cities with no advance warning. . .Meanwhile, Abbott isn’t sending his buses and planes to St. Louis, a city that is actively courting migrants and asylum seekers in a bid to turn back decades of population loss and to bring potential new workers into the region. All of this is a good reason for the federal government — not Abbott — to handle migrant relocation. “We need action and we need it now,” Adams said. “We are calling for the federal declaration of emergency, financial support and a national resettlement strategy.”)

HIGHLAND PARK PATCH
— Assault Weapon Registration Deadline Passes As Court Challenges Remain. Just 1 in 82 FOID cardholders has registered banned items with Illinois State Police, but it can’t be determined how many declined to do so. – Jonah Meadows (COMMENT: According to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/41d170dc-1838-4772-a4e4-29d268264e12.pdf ), 31 percent of adults report owning guns and 20 percent own an AR-15 rifle, and taken together, 6 percent of Americans own an AR-15, about 1 in 20.)
https://patch.com/illinois/highlandpark/assault-weapon-registration-deadline-passes-court-challenges-remain
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are 2.4 million people in Illinois with firearm owners identification, or FOID, cards. Of those, fewer than 30,000 individuals had registered a banned item with state authorities, according to the latest update from Illinois State Police. That means about 1 in 82 FOID cardholders had complied with the law, but there is no available data on how many owned banned guns in the first place or how many chose to take them to another state rather than register their serial numbers in a state database. . .”Historically, registration has led to confiscation, and as an individual gun owner, you must choose the best option for you. We respect that,” Pearson said. “We are currently preparing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, asking the Supreme Court to declare the entire law unconstitutional. We believe the court will rule in our favor.” . . . Many cities and counties in the Chicago area have had ordinances on the books for years banning assault weapons. But they have hardly, if ever, been enforced because most of the time law enforcement encounters a restricted assault weapon they are either being used by someone who does not have a FOID card or is committing some other crime. Nearly three quarters of Illinois sheriffs came out against the law last year, declaring they would not enforce it. None of them have publicly reversed course. Pritzker characterized it as “political grandstanding” and pledged that state police would still be able to penalize those who violate the gun and magazine ban.)

https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/653469177-chicago-alderman-why-aren-t-dupage-suburbs-keeping-illegal-aliens-to-care-for-themselves
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid the ongoing illegal immigration crisis, Chicago’s 15th Ward Alderman and candidate for the 4th Congressional District, Ray Lopez, is questioning Illinois’ status as the “most welcoming state” while raising concerns about human trafficking affecting Chicago. Lopez directed pointed questions at his fellow Democrats. “If Illinois is the ‘most welcoming state’ in the nation, how is it other cities can continue the human trafficking to Chicago? How are @GovPritzker & @ILAttyGeneral allowing them to subvert the spirit of the law? Why is @ChicagosMayor not decrying these mayors for adding to our city’s burden?” Lopez asked on X. Following the City of Chicago’s ordinance outlawing unscheduled buses from dropping off illegal immigrants, DuPage County in particular has been seeing nearly a dozen buses per day in some cases dropping off hundreds of illegal immigrants traveling to the area from Texas. In many cases those dumped in DuPage County are then boarding trains bound for Chicago. On Face the Nation over the weekend Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson pleaded for federal government funds to handle the influx of illegal immigrants. “What we have is clearly an international and federal crisis that local governments are being asked to subsidize. And this is unsustainable. None of our local economies are positioned to be able to carry on such a mission,” Johnson said. Johnson’s recent comments run counter to those he made while running for the mayor’s office in March 2023. “Chicago must lead with and live by the promise to be a sanctuary city,” Johnson said in a tweet at the time. “Longtime Chicagoans don’t have to lose for new arrivals to gain — there’s enough space at the table for all of us to sit and eat.” “Immigrants are welcome here.” Lopez has been consistently outspoken on the illegal immigration issue. In December he emphasized the escalating southern border situation as a national security concern. He criticized the Biden Administration and Congress, dismissing accusations of racism from his March 19 congressional primary opponent U.S. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.) as a distraction. Lopez has said President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are responsible for border challenges, expressing frustration with the lack of accountability towards Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He linked the border crisis to the recent death of a five-year-old boy at a migrant shelter in Pilsen, Chicago, and vowed to bring common sense to the Democratic Party on the issue. In the fall, following a contentious Chicago City Council, Lopez criticized aggressive tactics and harassment, singling out Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the Floor Leader for Mayor Johnson, for his behavior during the proceedings as the city council discussed a referendum to repeal Chicago’s “sanctuary city” status. Lopez emphasized the connection between the city’s Welcoming City Ordinance and the influx of asylum-seekers and underscored the need for Chicagoans to have a say in the matter. Lopez accused the mayor’s team of bending rules and obstructing the proceedings. Ramirez-Rosa later stepped down due to the criticisms. However, the attempt to bring the matter to the voters was ultimately unsuccessful. Lopez has represented the 15th Ward since 2015. The 4th Congressional District includes the Chicago neighborhoods of Brighton Park, West Elsdon, and South Lawndale; most of New City, Pilsen, Chicago Lawn, Clearing, Garfield Ridge and Bridgeport; the Cook County communities of Burbank, Berwyn, Cicero, Brookfield, LaGrange Park, Northlake, Melrose Park, Berkeley and Franklin Park; and the DuPage County communities of Hinsdale, Elmhurst and Oak Brook.)

RELOAD
— One in Twenty Americans Own an AR-15 – Jake Fogleman
https://thereload.com/poll-one-in-twenty-americans-own-an-ar-15/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tens of millions of Americans own an AR-15. That’s according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll released on Monday. The poll surveyed Americans more broadly to gauge gun ownership and found that 31 percent of adults report owning guns. Of those, the poll found that 20 percent own an AR-15 rifle. “Taken together, the polls find that 6 percent of Americans own an AR-15, about 1 in 20,” Post reporter Emily Guskin wrote. “The data suggests that with a U.S. population of 260.8 million adults, about 16 million Americans own an AR-15.” The survey is the latest evidence to confirm the popularity of AR-15s and similar rifles, often dubbed “assault weapons” by critics, among the American gun-owning public. The extent of their ownership could factor heavily in the political debate over their continued legality as multiple blue states mull bans and gun rights groups prepare to contest them. That finding provides new insight into ownership of the popular rifle, which is valued by gun-rights advocates for its versatility and modularity but reviled by gun-control activists for its use by shooters in a number of high-profile attacks. The poll’s estimates land in the ballpark of previous estimates. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has previously estimated that there are over 24.4 million AR-15s and similar rifles—which it calls “modern sporting rifles”—in civilian hands as of 2022. The National Firearms Survey, conducted in 2021 by Georgetown professor William English, found that 30.2% of gun owners, about 24.6 million people, indicated owning an AR-15 or similarly styled rifle. In its landmark Heller decision, the Supreme Court found that the Second Amendment protects arms “in common use” by “law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Whether ownership among tens of millions of Americans is enough to fall into that camp may help determine the constitutionality of AR-15 bans. Although, a federal judge in Delaware ruled on Monday that state’s ban can stand despite the popularity of the rifle. Self-defense was the most popular reason AR-15 owners in the poll gave for buying the gun. Around one-third listed it as the main reason for ownership, but nearly two-thirds said that it was “a major reason” for purchasing the rifle. Other popular answers given in roughly equal numbers included recreation, target shooting, hunting, and exercising their Second Amendment rights. The poll found that AR-15 owners were around 20 percent more likely to be male than other gun owners and 30 percent more likely to be male than the U.S. adult population. Only 19 percent of AR-15 owners self-identified as female. AR-15 owners were also more likely than the adult population as a whole, and about equally likely as other gun owners, to be white. Three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they were white, while 11 percent said they were Hispanic, and nine percent said they were black. AR-15 owners were also more likely to live in a suburban area, have a higher income, identify as politically Independent, and fall between the ages of 40-64 than other gun owners and the population as a whole. They were also significantly more likely to have served in the military, though nearly three-quarters of AR-15 owners said they had not served. The poll identified a regional divide in AR-15 ownership as well. Nearly half of all AR-15 owners reported living in the South, while roughly one-quarter and one-fifth reported living in the West and Midwest, respectively. Only ten percent of AR-15 owners said they lived in the Northeast. This Washington Post-Ipsos poll was conducted from September 30-October 11, 2022, among a random national sample of 2,104 gun owners, including 399 AR-15-style rifle owners. The margin of error for the sample of AR-15-style rifle owners is 5.5 points.)
