January 24, 2024

The following report on Naperville Councilman Josh McBroom’s suggestion that locals sign up to house illegals: CHICAGO TRIBUNE, DAILY HERALD, DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL, BIZ PAC REVIEW, DAILY CALLER, DAILY WIRE, FOX NEWS, HOT AIR, LEGAL INSURRECTION, TOWNHALL, TURNING POINT USA, NEWS BREAK, and INDEPENDENT. Are you a Naperville resident? If so, what is your position on this?

Naperville is ever-increasingly described as being wealthy. How wealthy is your county, your township, your municipality, your school district, and your precinct? What is the mean/median/mode of their a) household income, b) household net worth, c) residence size, and d) residence value? What are the trends? In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, there is extreme variation in terms of household income, household net worth, residence size, and residence value. What is next? Will those at the high end be encouraged/asked/forced to take in those at the low end?

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— Illinois GOP’s Trump ‘problem’ We asked Jim Durkin, the former House Republican leader and longtime party operative, about how Trump as the nominee could affect Illinois in the General Election. “It’s not going to be good,” said Durkin, an outspoken critic of the former president. “He’s a bully, a narcissist and a pathological liar,” Durkin said, acknowledging, however, here are plenty of folks in the Illinois GOP who “aren’t concerned” about Trump’s actions, even when he was “cheerleader in chief” of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Durkin’s concern: “Trump and the MAGAs have co-opted the Republican Party enough where people who had a moderate or centrist view but identified as Republicans have left the party — and identify themselves as independent voters,” said Durkin, who was the state chairman for John McCain’s presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008. The new GOP has been “taken over” by the far right, which is “dictating” primaries but ultimately losing in the General Election, Durkin said, pointing to 2022 as proof. The biggest impact: Trump will be a boost for Downstate Republican candidates. The big hurt will come in the northern suburbs, said Durkin. “It’s going to be a problem to have your name on the ballot with the former president in the same column.” The Illinois Republican Party is staying “neutral” for the primary and will get behind whoever is at the top of the ticket, party chair Don Tracy told Playbook. – SHIA KAPOS

They worked in a brick factory there until they had saved enough money to homestead a farm in southeast Crete Township in 1854. They sold that farm in 1864 and bought 10 acres on the north side of downtown Crete. My grandfather had 1286 Wood Street built on that land in 1926. I lived in that house 1954-1972. My father lived in that house until he died in 1969. My mother lived in that house until she died in 2016. My brother lived in that house until he died in 2022. I sold that house in 2022. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have aways used the aforesaid against me.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/history/ct-vintage-indian-treaty-1914-chicago-20240114-fgoohs7dcbajbpi3muxq24mpqu-story.html
(COMMENT: In June 1905, the Tribune recalled that some 70 years earlier, diplomacy had been a thriving industry on Lake Michigan’s shore, far removed from its accustomed focal point in the nation’s capital. “In the days of Chicago’s youth, treaties were negotiated here. Representatives of the United States and of the Potawatomi and other tribes held solemn councils here and entered into agreements by which the Indians gave up much and got little.” Collectively, those treaties stripped the Indians of their tribal lands. They proceeded apace with the westward movement of European farmers and ranchers. Indians not only lost their hunting grounds, they became foreigners in someone else’s country. Until 1924, Indians weren’t American citizens.)
— Racial equity activist must pay at least $38,000 after judge dismisses her lawsuit alleging harm from Awake Illinois leader. – Alex Hulvalchick and Pam DeFiglio (COMMENT: Have you supervised a racial equity activist? I did during all of the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. He was a younger Black CPA who always led the office’s many Black events. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to turn him against me. They stressed to him that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, and 100% German American. They stressed to him that my ancestors had been in America since 1844 but that none of them joined the Union Army. They stressed to him that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted at him that I gave him unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They shouted at him that I sabotaged his career advancement. They stressed to him that I supported the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. But they stressed the most to him that was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination. In September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired at the end of that month. I was not eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years and they made it clear that if I did not take their “offer,” my next 6 years would be a living hell. They gave my younger Black activist subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

They especially complain that for computing my pension, a) I got almost 3 years full-time CSRS credit while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 even though I worked only part-time and b) I got more than a full year CSRS credit for my unused sick leave that I had when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The report analyzed 12 indicators representing well-being milestones from cradle to career and converted them into a scale ranging from 0 to 1,000. In Illinois, Asian and Pacific Islander children have the highest index score at 837, followed by white children at 740. Black children received an index score of 341. . .The report shows that poverty levels improved between 2007–2011 and 2017–2021, but too many families still struggle to make ends meet. More than half of Black (58%), American Indian or Alaska Native (57%) and Latino (53%) kids live below the federal poverty level.)

— We Are in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government – J.B. Shurk
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/we_are_in_an_abusive_relationship_with_our_government.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: California is now covering the costs of genital-mutilating surgeries for illegal aliens. Leftism’s slippery slope invariably leads to depraved absurdity. Consider how Governor (receding) Hairdo and the Pyrite State’s other communist saboteurs have greased the shifting ground under Californians’ feet: (1) There is no illegal immigration crisis. (2) There may be a crisis, but California taxpayers won’t be paying for it. (3) Taxpayers may have to foot the bill for the illegal immigration crisis, but California will do nothing to incentivize illegal immigration. (4) After further review, these aliens aren’t “illegal,” but rather “undocumented.” (5) Health care is a human right. (6) California must provide “undocumented” aliens healthcare. (7) Mutilating the genitals to make them look like the opposite sex is health care. (8) California taxpayers must pay for “undocumented” aliens’ genital surgery. (9) Californians who object to paying for undocumented aliens’ genital surgery may be guilty of “hate” crimes and will be prosecuted. Why punish the people who illegally enter the United States when you can punish the people who do not want to subsidize immigration crimes while canceling their votes with the votes of those here illegally?)
— Claudine Gay debacle is the end result of a 1968 Xerox memo – Michael Bertolone (COMMENT: Since the 1960s, employers have been under ever-increasingly pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote young minorities and young females, that is, to discriminate against older Whites and older men.).
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/claudine_gay_debacle_is_the_end_result_of_a_1968_xerox_memo.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The genesis of the policy that led to her hiring can be found in a 1968 memo that then-Xerox CEO Joseph C. Wilson wrote in which he directed his hiring managers to hire underqualified and outright unqualified minorities in the name of “diversity.” Using Claudine Gay’s example as a case study, we can now clearly see the dismal fruit of this well-intentioned but sadly naive policy. Xerox CEO Wilson implemented the policy in reaction to the riots sweeping the U.S. in 1968, particularly after Martin Luther King’s assassination. This reaction foreshadows corporate America’s reaction to the killing of George Floyd by the ramping up of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Wilson’s directive also included a warning that read, “The full and unqualified cooperation of all Xerox managers is expected in reaching our minority hiring goals.” He could have added “or else” to that statement. Similar hiring directives have been issued at universities and corporations over the last several decades. The only difference is that the decision-makers have gotten clever and usually don’t memorialize these policies in writing. Word of mouth is the preferred method to avoid the blowback of conservatives and the general public. But now, leftists have deluded themselves into thinking that there will be no repercussions for their out-of-touch machinations.)

A huge majority defines this as an “invasion.” A huge majority also says this is a national security crisis. Here is what most Americans can see and understand: Open borders are leading to massive increases in spending: welfare, food stamps, national debt — the bankruptcy of America. And of course, a massive decline in our quality of living.)

My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates did everything that they could to turn him against me. They stressed to him that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, and 100% German American. They stressed to him that my ancestors had been in America since 1844 but that none of them joined the Union Army. They stressed to him that I lived in Crete 1948-1972 and that I had lived in Wheaton since 1978. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted at him that I gave him unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They shouted at him that I sabotaged his career advancement. They stressed to him that I supported the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. But they stressed the most to him that was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination and age discrimination. In September of 1997, when I was 49 years old, they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” that expired at the end of that month. I was not eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years and they made it clear that if I did not take their “offer,” my next 6 years would be a living hell. They gave my younger Black activist subordinate my job and my preferred corner office. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

HISTORY
— ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S EMBRACE OF FOREIGN-BORN FIGHTERS More than a quarter million immigrants took up arms for the United States. – HAROLD HOLZER (COMMENT: Democrat leaders have declared a Second Civil War against Republicans. Illegals are soldiers in the Democrat Army. All my ancestors were farmers who immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. My harshest critics/opponents stress that none of them enlisted in the Union Army. In my defense, I own a Civil War sword that I inherited from a relative who did enlist in the Union Army. I have it in my closet by my front door for my self-defense.)
https://www.historynet.com/immigrants-union-army-civil-war/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the earliest days of Union enlistment in New York City, anyone willing to volunteer was welcome at recruitment offices—including the foreign-born. Language barriers proved no obstacle, particularly among Germans. After all, German support had helped Abraham Lincoln win the presidency in 1860. After the fall of Fort Sumter and the call for 75,000 militia to suppress the rebellion, Lincoln wisely concluded that a war to save the Union must not be an exclusively native-born undertaking. So he launched a concerted effort to lure marquee commanders from various ethnic backgrounds, regardless of their politics (though he did resist abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ early pleas for the enlistment of free Blacks). One of Lincoln’s first such acts was to order his secretary of war to appoint “Col. Julian Allen, a Polish gentleman, naturalized,” who proposed “raising a Regiment of our citizens of his nationality, to serve in our Army.” After some initial resistance from the War Department, Allen got his commission. Army regulations at the time explicitly stated: “No volunteer will be mustered into the service who is unable to speak the English language.” That rule would simply be ignored. From the outset, the restriction hardly stemmed the early enthusiasm of the foreign-born to don the U.S. Army uniform, even if the uniforms themselves reflected more the ethnic background of the recruits than the cohesion of the supposedly united states. That spring, German-born New York Herald correspondent Henry Villard seemed “surprised”—but clearly proud—to observe freshly minted “infantry dressed in the genuine Bavarian uniform….Prussian uniforms, too; the ‘Garibaldi Guards’ in the legendary red blouses and bersaglieri [Italian infantry] hats,” as well as “‘Zouaves’ and ‘Turcoes’ [North African infantrymen], clothed as in the French army, with some fanciful American features grafted upon them.” Before long, Lincoln granted a request by Carl Schurz, the recently named U.S. minister to Spain, to abandon his post in Madrid and raise a regiment in New York. Although his initial recruitment efforts fell short, Schurz won a military commission anyway, and served in the Army of the Potomac. In 1863, however, he earned damning criticism when his men fled from a Confederate assault at Chancellorsville. Most officers subject to such castigation would have faced demotion or dismissal. But Schurz still exerted enormous influence—over the German-born community as well as Lincoln—for his tireless work in the 1860 campaign. A gifted orator, he managed to convince Lincoln to continue backing him even as he leveled injudicious criticism (privately, at least) on his commander-in-chief. Then there was the case of Franz Sigel, a 36-year-old German-born general who notched an even more dubious record in the West. From the outset of the war, however, Sigel proved a magnet for German recruitment. “I Fights Mit Sigel” became a rallying cry among German-speaking soldiers. Each time Lincoln sought to downgrade Sigel, the outcry from Germans proved overpowering. In 1864, when Lincoln briefly faced a third-party reelection challenge, many of those expressing support for the insurgency cited the president’s alleged injustices against Sigel. IRISH LEADERS, MIXED RESULTS If German Americans contributed the largest foreign-born contingent in the Federal army, Irish Americans proved a close second. Some 150,000 Irishmen took up arms for the Union.)

TIME
— The Civil War Was Won by Immigrant Soldiers – DON H. DOYLE
https://time.com/3940428/civil-war-immigrant-soldiers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Why did they fight? What were they fighting for? Recruitment posters in the New York Historical Society provide hints at the answers.
One poster reads: Patrioti Italiani! Honvedek! Amis de la liberté! Deutsche Freiheits Kaempfer! (Italian patriots! Hungarians! Friends of liberty! German freedom fighters!) Then, in English, it urges “250 able-bodied men . . . Patriots of all nations” to fight for their “adopted country.” One immigrant mother gave testimony in 1863 to an antislavery convention as to why her 17-year-old son was fighting for the Union. “I am from Germany where my brothers all fought against the Government and tried to make us free, but were unsuccessful,” she said. “We foreigners know the preciousness of that great, noble gift a great deal better than you, because you never were in slavery, but we are born in it.” Following the failed Revolution of 1848, thousands of young Germans fled to America. They took up arms in what they saw as yet another battle in the revolutionary struggle against the forces of aristocracy and slavery. “It isn’t a war where two powers fight to win a piece of land,” one German enlistee wrote to his family. “Instead it’s about freedom or slavery, and you can well imagine, dear mother, I support the cause of freedom with all my might.” In another letter written to his family in Europe, a German soldier gave a pithy explanation of the war: “I don’t have the space or the time to explain all about the cause, only this much: the states that are rebelling are slave states, and they want slavery to be expanded, but the northern states are against this, and so it is civil war!”)

The discussion, however, quickly turned to his predecessors’ pledge to house arriving asylum seekers – a promise he has vowed to continue into next year. With shelters now packed – and busses arriving from states like Texas daily – Franza asked the ex-teacher who succeeded Lori Lightfoot about his response. – ALEX HAMMER

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Does the objection to Trump on the Illinois primary ballot have a chance? What we know. – Patrick M. Keck

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Supporters of the former president like U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, said the objection was politically-motivated with Trump as the overwhelmingly leading GOP candidate. She also is a Trump GOP convention delegate. “They know Trump will defeat Biden in a free & fair election,” Miller posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Democrats are embracing banana republic tactics by trying to jail their political opponents and throw them off the ballot.” . . . Matt Dietrich, ISBOE spokesperson, said the state election authority’s process will begin on Jan. 17 with the selection of a hearing officer who will meet with both parties to discuss their case. That officer will then report their findings with ISBOE’s general counsel, later providing a recommendation to its bipartisan, eight-member electoral board on Jan. 30. A majority vote is required for the objection to move forward. In the case of a tie, the objection is dropped. Objectors and the candidate, however, can seek judicial review, meaning any legal challenges likely would be ongoing when early voting starts on Feb. 8. The Illinois Supreme Court, holding a 5-2 Democratic majority, could be a favorable venue for the objectors.)

ORLANDO SENTINEL
— Income tax deductions you should not miss – ELLIOT RAPHAELSON (COMMENT: What tax deductions have you taken? In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me.)

— Fight breaks out among 300 NYC migrants waiting outside in the cold for shelter before MAJOR snowstorm hits the East Coast. The fight began at around 8.30am outside the re-intake center in East Village when one man tried to sneak into the large line, eyewitnesses said. He was holding a cup of coffee and spilled it on to others while trying to cut in front before he was confronted by another migrant. An argument quickly turned physical with the man allegedly punching the line-cutter who fell to the ground and others joined in. – KAMAL SALTAN

LEGACY
— OBITUARY: Gary Lee Longman
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/chicagotribune/name/gary-longman-obituary?id=54025103 (COMMENT: Gary was one of my roommates at NIU 1969-1970. When my father died suddenly in October of 1969, he outstandingly came to the wake in Crete. His summer job in 1969 was interning at KPMG while my summer job was delivering mail in Park Forest. I will forever regret a) my not majoring in accounting at NIU like Gary did, b) my not starting to take graduate accounting courses at DePaul until I was 27, c) my not taking and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30, and d) my not becoming a licensed CPA until I was 32.)
(FROM THE OBITUARY: Gary was a graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in accounting. He was a highly driven, business- minded CPA who quickly worked his way up at KPMG, becoming a partner at just age 32. He held many esteemed positions, including partner-in-charge of the Chicago Audit Practice and leader of the Midwest-area technology practice. An accountant by trade, Gary dedicated his talents not only to his work but also to the community. He joined many business boards. He was a director of Marine Bank and “interim” President of Sunny Ridge Family Center for ten years, guiding them to success.)

All the money to pay for my bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 and for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 and for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968 came from what I earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. My parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home while I completed courses at UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kaira Estrada, 28, is a Venezuelan asylum seeker. She initially stayed at the largest Chicago-funded migrant shelter, but said she encountered dangerous circumstances. In Spanish, Estrada shared her concerns. “We live surrounded by danger outside the refugee shelter, because there is a lot of people doing bad things,” she said. “So they look for conflict and that brings conflict. So you kinda live with fear.” Estrada now lives at Casa Monarca in Uptown. “We live more calm (here),” Estrada said. “No one is smoking or drinking. It’s important because I feel safe. It’s a big part of the comparison.”)

— Illinois State Board of Elections to decide whether former President Trump will remain on primary ballot following petition – Carson Gourdie (COMMENT: Which of the eight Illinois State Board of Elections members (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) will vote against Trump and which will vote for Trump? What criteria will they use?)
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/illinois-state-board-of-elections-to-vote-jan-30-on-whether-former-president-trump-will-remain-on-primary-ballot
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This January, the SBE will have a hearing officer conduct hearings with the petitioners and the candidate’s legal team. The officer will then provide a recommendation to SBE’s general counsel. The general counsel will then provide their own recommendation to SBE’s eight-person board, which consists of four appointed Democrats and four appointed Republicans. On January 30th, the board will meet. (SEE: https://www.elections.il.gov/AboutTheBoard/BoardMembers.aspx ) It would take five votes to remove Trump from the ballot. A 4-4 tie means Trump can stay. But that may not settle the situation. Redfield said he expects the United States Supreme Court to issue a ruling by March’s Super Tuesday Primary, which would settle whether Trump would remain on the ballots for both the primary and general election. We reached out to both the Illinois Democratic and Republican Party for statements but only heard back from the GOP. “The Illinois Republican Party is strictly neutral in the Republican presidential primary,” said Don Tracy, Illinois Republican Party Chairman, in a statement. “We believe the people, not activist courts, should choose who represents them in the White House. This attempt to remove President Trump from the ballot without due process is an anti-democracy attempt to limit the voting rights of Illinois citizens and should be dismissed outright.” The Illinois State Board of election begin formal proceedings on the petition starting on January 17th.)

LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY
— Here’s the hidden truth about how they’re going to take over the US through illegal immigrants – Pat Droney
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/bidens-anchor-babies-will-eventually-lead-to-the-great-replacement-weve-been-warned-about
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A report from the Center for Immigration Studies paints a chilling picture of the abuses being perpetrated by illegals entering the United States. While illegal aliens are restricted from many welfare programs, their “anchor babies”–children born in the United States–face no such restrictions. And they are taking advantage. The study shows that households headed by illegal aliens are more likely to use welfare than those headed by US-born citizens. Some 59.4 percent of households led by illegals use one or more welfare programs, while 39 percent of households headed by a US-born citizen use such programs, the report says. The report states that those high rates of welfare use primarily reflect their generally lower education levels and their resulting low incomes, coupled with the large share of those who have U.S.-born children eligible for all welfare programs from birth. More than half of all illegal immigrant households have one or more U.S.-born children.” The term “anchor baby” comes from the Fourteenth Amendment, which establishes “birthright citizenship,” which grants citizenship to anyone born within the United States or its territories, no matter the citizenship of the parents. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the provision, although such a loophole would appear counterproductive to the country’s security. That provision has been used (and abused) by illegals entering the country. Once they have a U.S.-born child, deporting them back to where they came from is challenging (although not impossible). Once a child reaches 21, they can seek immigrant visas for their parents and extended families to enter the U.S. It’s a loophole that has anti-illegal immigration activists upset. Many of those activists believe that illegals enter the country and have children deliberately, thereby “anchoring” them to the United States. According to the CIS report, illegals and their “anchor babies” cost the American taxpayers $150.6 billion annually. “The American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” CIS stated in the report. Currently, a dozen states offer Medicaid to all low-income children regardless of immigration status. Those children also have access to many government food and meal programs. The CIS report used the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data. “The reality is that illegal immigrants are included in the SIPP, a large share of them are poor, and they or their U.S.-born children have welfare eligibility, and many take advantage of this eligibility,” CIS stated. “A very large share of immigrants come to America, have children, struggle to provide for them, and so turn to taxpayers for support. This can be seen as especially problematic given that there is already a large number of Americans who are also struggling to provide for their children.” The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) published data that showed the total number of U.S.-born children of illegal aliens in the United States as of June 2023 stood at 5.78 million, or two times the population of Chicago. In reporting the financial impact on the American people over the past five years, the annual cost has risen by almost $35 billion. “This burden will only continue to grow as a result of the Biden administration’s open-border policies,” CIS warned. It is currently unknown how many anchor babies have been born in the United States since the Biden-facilitated invasion began. But if even only ten percent of those who have entered the country illegally have had children, the Great Replacement Theory will come to bear before you know it. Of course, anchor babies are but one small part of the issue facing the United States when it concerns illegal immigration. It has been reported that as of October 2023, at least 169 illegal aliens on the terror watch list tried to enter the United States illegally. Law Enforcement Today sources tell us that number is exponentially higher counting so-called “gotaways.” It has been reported that some of those caught included members of ISIS, which is a sworn enemy of the United States. Moreover, it isn’t only illegal aliens that are a concern to the United States. According to The PIE News, the State Department issued over 393,000 F-1 visas in FY-2023 through August last year. The number is expected to exceed the 411,131 issued in FY-2022 when final data is released. In the UK, an engineering student at the University of Birmingham was sentenced to life in prison for designing and building a so-called “kamikaze” drone for ISIS, The National News reported. Al Bared, a doctoral student at the university, began constructing the drone in July 2022. Officials say Bared built the weapon using a 3D printer after speaking to ISIS online. The outlet reported the Birmingham Crown Court heard notes found where Bared said the idea for the drone was “inspired by the design of the Tomahawk missile.” The court heard testimony that Bared intended to make a drone capable of transmitting live video for terrorism purposes and planned to travel to West Africa via Turkey. In September, he was found guilty by a jury that heard testimony that Bared planned to put together a prototype drone that he hoped would be capable of delivering a bomb or chemical weapon. He was convicted on a single count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts to benefit a proscribed terrorist organization. Last week, the sentencing judge said Bared sought to lend his support to the “terrorist agenda” of ISIS. “I have no doubt that you intended your design to be used as a single-use weapon with a range of up to 5 kilometers,” the judge said. “Your preparations were undertaken with a view to endangering multiple lives.” The judge also noted that Bared’s design of the drone was “at best suspect and at worse [sic] fundamentally flawed. This was a work in progress.” The judge continued, “You are a manipulative individual. You are a committed extremist. I have no doubt that you are still today a supporter of ISIS. It is impossible to say whether you will ever surrender your extremist views. You are a dangerous offender for whom the public requires protection. “The seriousness of offending justifies a sentence of life imprisonment.” When Al Bared was arrested last January, officials seized the drone and a mobile phone, where encrypted online chats and other digital material exposing Bared’s support for ISIS were found. Over ten million illegals have entered the United States since Biden’s January 2021 installation. Well over two hundred terrorist suspects entered the United States under Biden. Over 400,000 F1 student visas were handed out last year. Is it possible that within that number that, there are perhaps a few hundred ISIS, Hamas, or Hezbollah sympathizers? A thousand? Maybe more…much more.)

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/so-many-needs-denver-public-school-scrambles-educate-surge-migrant-students/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “There’s a very cute table over here where they’re all speaking Spanish with a couple of English translators,” Boylan described in the lunchroom nearly filled to capacity in the middle of the school day. McMeen has welcomed new students throughout this school year – sometimes as many as 15 new-to-country students a week – and it’s overwhelming teachers and staff. “These are children who have literally walked from Venezuela to get to Denver,” Boylan added. Lyly Zaragoza’s kindergarten class now has 32 students – almost the maximum allowed in the teacher’s union contract. “It’s a big number and it can get a bit overwhelming at times just because there’s so many needs,” Zaragoza said. “Some of them have never been at school before, so they don’t even know how to hold a pencil.” And many students have struggled to get through the school day. Zaragoza said, “I have kids that will spend most of the day crying and asking what time, what time do I go home? What time do I see my mom? And since they’re so stuck on that they can’t really learn.” “His integration process has been slow. It has been tough for him. He is the one who’s been most affected by the change,” describes Genesis Salloum in Spanish about her son Maikol who is in first grade at McMeen. Salloum says she and her husband and three children walked across seven countries to get here from Venezuela. She saw five dead people along the way, trying to shield her kids from seeing them. “Yes, the trip was hard, it was a little difficult, getting here was not easy,” Salloum said. Her baby Giancarlos has a seizure disorder. The family was granted a humanitarian parole at the border given the baby’s health. He’s been able to get treatment, but brother Maikol is struggling to adapt and misses the support of his large family back home. McMeen projected enrollment this year at 546 kids. It’s now serving 671.)

That left five battleground states up for grabs: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. To determine the winner in each of those states, Newsweek then factored in the most recent averages from RealClearPolling (RCP) to calculate the total electoral vote count.)

Trump won 82 percent of Miami-Dade grassroots Republicans, far more than DeSantis. – KIMBERLY LEONARD (COMMENT: I should write a book about the many straw polls that I conducted at Milton Township Republican Organization and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois fundraisers. I would focus on those candidates who lost those straw polls. I would focus on those losing candidates who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their losses. I would focus on those losing candidates who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

What positions do the following have on Democrat and RINO leaders allowing/encouraging anyone and everyone in the world to come to America illegally and to stay in America illegally if they claim asylum: a) your Republican Congressman, b) your Republican state senator and representative, c) the Republican leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district, d) the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) leaders, e) your representative on the IRP State Central Committee, f) the leaders of your Republican county and township/ward party organizations, and g) the Republican candidates on the March 19, 2024 Republican primary ballot in your precinct? Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, anticipate/expect that sooner or later, virtually all the citizens of all the countries of the world will seek asylum in America.

As a part-time substitute carrier/clerk for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, I worked many more hours because my coworkers took lots of sick leave and annual leave. My Civil Service Retirement System is higher because my more than a year of unused sick leave was credited as though I had worked that time.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3bgJQF7go
https://news.yahoo.com/just-fraction-migrants-living-chicago-001300483.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With more than 14,000 migrants still living in one of more than two dozen city-operated shelters in Chicago, only a fraction of all the asylum seekers who have arrived in Chicago over the past 16 months have received the permits they need to start looking for jobs. As of Monday morning, city officials said 14,717 asylum seekers were staying in the city’s 27 shelters, and more than half of those are coming up on the city’s 60-day limit for staying in shelters. . .It’s not clear how many applications have been submitted, but as of Dec. 29, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services had processed work permits and temporary protected status applications for only 1,480 new arrivals, according to city data obtained by CBS 2. Once those applications are processed, they also need to be approved. Sources said only 284 asylum seekers in Chicago have gotten work permits, and 279 have received their Social Security card. That’s about 1%. Worse, city data suggests applications did not start processing until the week of Nov. 9.)

— Monday was deadline for Illinois owners of assault weapons prior to ban to register their guns – DARIUS JOHNSO
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As of last week, only 15,000 people completed the disclosures, according to Illinois State Police. There are nearly 2.5 million firearm owner’s IDs in the state. However, it’s unclear how many of those FOID holders own assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, or rapid-firing triggers. . .In November, state police said it is up to prosecutors in the state’s 102 counties to enforce the law, but it’s unclear what penalties would be in store for those who fail to register their weapons. Penalties can vary for illegal weapons. Carrying or possessing unauthorized assault weapons could result in a misdemeanor, with one year in jail or a fine of up to $2,500. Manufacturing, selling, or purchasing an unauthorized weapon could constitute a felony and result in up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.)

— FRONT PAGE WITH PICTURE: Here’s what to know about the job market in 2024. – Talia Soglin (COMMENT: What was the Chicago-area job market like when you graduated from college? It was not good for me when I graduated in August of 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. Potential employers viewed me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. My mother had never worked outside the home and she had never attended high school. Further, employers were under ever-increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Further, my GPA was not that high because instead of studying, I had worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got, it was from Firestone to be a Retail Store Sales Manager. I soon learned a) that my job did not really require a college degree, b) that I was not using what I had learned at NIU, c) that my duties frequently included pumping gasoline, mounting and balancing tires, changing oil and filters, installing batteries, delivering major appliances, etc., d) that advancement would be very slow, and e) my boss disapproved of my being a college graduate, draft avoider, Protestant, German American, and Crete resident. I was assigned to his store by the Firestone Store district office. He never would have hired me.)

— Jefferson County Sheriff shares gun control concerns (FROM THE ARTICLE: “Anyone wishing to delay registering their firearms, waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court rule on this matter would be safe to do so.”)
https://thesouthern.com/news/jefferson-county-sheriff-shares-gun-control-concerns/article_0507950e-8162-5f0b-98fe-c17ae972838e.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Bullard, however, took to social media ahead of the affidavit deadline to share that he believed the law was unconstitutional. In a question and answer style video posted on the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page Friday, Bullard said he had been receiving many concerned calls from gun owners who wanted to know if they should register their firearms as constitutional challenges to PICA carry on in state and federal courts. He directed people to the ISP website for registration and more information, before claiming, “Anyone wishing to delay registering their firearms, waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court rule on this matter would be safe to do so.” He continued, saying, “I would never advise anyone to knowingly violate the law, but the law has to be constitutionally valid on its face, and this gun ban is not,” citing previous Supreme Court cases he believed demonstrated his argument, included New York State Pistol and Rifle Association v. Bruen and D.C. v Heller. Bullard said he and other, unnamed Illinois sheriffs who oppose the law “won’t enforce it” and “won’t support it in any way, shape, or form.” Bullard stated that he believed the best way to combat violent crime was “aggressive policing, investigations, prosecution, that is supported by sound sentencing decisions by our judges.”)

HOMETOWN REGISTER
— IRS ready to test free-file program in 13 states (COMMENT: As long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax. In 1978, the Democrats who ran IRS disallowed the graduate a) business courses that I had taken at Loyola 1972-1976 and b) accounting courses that I had taken at DePaul since 1976. I was 29, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years, and my salary was $106,785/year (GS-12 Step 4) in today’s dollars. They would not have disallowed those courses I had not been a union member or if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. They disallowed those courses to punish me for my complaining about their use of “up-or-out” to get rid of me, that is, their use of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination to get rid of me. They had made it extremely clear that they would never promote me to GS-13 because I was too old. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the aforesaid course work and that I was on track to pass the CPA examination which I did in 1979. They outrageously/disgustingly/unethically argued that the courses were not job-related, that they did not help me carry out my job duties, that they qualified me for a new trade or business, and that I took them to get a job in the private sector. They ignored/dismissed/belittled the requirements of my position descriptions and the fact that I stated in my Loyola and DePaul applications that I wanted to take the courses because the employee manual that IRS gave me in 1971 encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. They helped Money Magazine make my deducting the courses look improper in its 4-page February 1978 article on me. Again, as long as Democrats run IRS, Republicans should use TurboTax.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Making Discrimination OK Again. The losers in a 2020 California referendum are back again with a sneakier version. – William McGurn (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action and DEI to get rid of Republicans. Congress is run by Democrats and RINOs. GAO works for Congress. In Diersen vs. GAO, constructively, GAO successfully argued that it treated me exactly like Congress wanted it to treat its employees who shared my demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, old, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. GAO wasted my career, took many adverse actions against me, and forced me to take its early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. It is called political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.)

BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS
— December 31, 2023 Newsletter: The Sanctuary Problem
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/blog
(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: Here are some important questions to ask your uncurious elected officials: 1. How many “newcomers” have entered your schools in the last two years and how does that compare to the previous five years? 2. It is against the law for landlords to ask about immigration status. Do you have any way of tracking how many illegals are renting in the community or being otherwise housed by non-profits? 3. How many illegals are using local food pantries, and are they having supply issues? 4. What hard benefits are illegals receiving? Debit cards, transport, housing support? 5. What is the usage and cost of services at medical facilities by illegals, and are the organizations getting paid for the services, or is it documented as charity care? 6. Is there a separate tracking system the public can see that shows incidents of any crimes committed by illegals, and if not, why not? 7. What are our community’s specific responses to the migrant issue? 8. For state officials – How much is this costing? Who is getting the contracts for all the support? Is there a daily tracker on the costs and numbers of illegals?)

I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

— Republicans Have a Great Chance to Retake the Senate in 2024 – Lindsay Wise (COMMENT: The Republican Party platform is conservative. RINO leaders much rather see Democrat candidates win elections than conservative Republican candidates. RINO leaders want Republican candidates to run as “Democrat-Lite” candidates, that is, to dump the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and the rest of the planks in the Republican Party platform. I should write a book about all the Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have lost elections. I would focus on those who dumped the most planks in the Republican Party platform.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?”)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam. The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing? – Michael Wines (COMMENT: The Vietnam War continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to punish me for my avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They punished me the most while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. They stress that I should have enlisted because I am conservative, Republican, and deemed 1-A for the draft. They stress that I am unmitigated coward because with my health problems (could not run because of a bone disease, eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and partially red/green color blind), I would not been sent into combat. They stress that if I had not avoided the Viet Nam War draft, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970, d) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, g) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, h) buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, i) etc.)

https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/12/21/diversity-just-means-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, has revealed that no white males can be recruited to senior posts without her say-so. Speaking last week at a Treasury Select Committee hearing on sexism in the finance industry, Blanc said that there can be ‘no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer’. It was an admission that revealed a lot about the impact of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda on employment and public life more broadly. Thanks to DEI, it is now acceptable for a CEO to state that she will subject ‘non-diverse’ candidates – a coded reference to white males – to extra scrutiny. Which sounds very much like discrimination to me. This captures the through-the-looking-glass logic of DEI, a logic that menaces every principle of fairness and equality. After all, a fair approach to recruitment would ensure that vacancies are widely advertised so as to broaden the pool of applicants. That way, an organization can maximize its chances of finding the best applicant with the best set of skills and talents for the role advertised.)

WGN RADIO
— The importance of putting together a budget – Ashley Bihun (COMMENT: When I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Treasurer office in 2004, I had served as the Treasurer for the a) Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter for 3 years, b) American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter for 3 years, and c) Illinois Center Right Coalition for 2 years. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul, and I had become a licensed CPA. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years. I stressed to MTRO members that budgeting was a very important planning exercise. I stressed that I would draft a budget for MTRO each year, get the other MTRO officers to approve a draft budget, get the MTRO membership to approve a budget, and get MTRO to follow that budget. But my opponent for that MTRO Treasurer office, his operatives, and his dupes, including two CPAs, not only viciously attacked budgeting, they viciously attacked me personally. Just before the vote, they demonized, denigrated, and condemned me as not being a team player and that I irritate everyone around me. My opponent got 69 votes and I got only 13 votes. Since 2002, MTRO has punished me for Jim Ryan’s losing to Blagojevich because I supported Patrick O’Malley in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Since 2004, MTRO has punished me for my not covering up the wrongdoing of a MTRO officer and for Andrew McKenna losing the Republican U.S. Senate primary because I allegedly rigged a major MTRO straw poll. Since 2006, MTRO has punished me for Judy Baar Topinka’s losing to Blagojevich. MTRO continues to punish me for the aforesaid.)

— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, they assigned me to supervise all their new-hired Democrat employees who were disabled. Further, they assigned me to supervise all their newly-hired Democrat employees who were minority, female, veteran, unmarried, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, had performance problems, and/or who they wanted to get rid of. Of course, they did everything that they could to turn the aforesaid employees against me.

https://nypost.com/2023/06/10/marco-rubios-new-book-explains-how-globalization-transformed-immigration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) explains how these newcomers served as convenient sources of cheap labor — while upended long-standing patterns of assimilation and integration. . .many elites believe “it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government” . . . For decades now, since our elites began to believe that global market integration was an inherent good that should take precedence over all else — particularly patriotism, national unity, and the welfare of American workers — this country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor. . .But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. . .More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/12/20/will-lawsuit-dei-state-bar-n2632570
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The State Bar of Wisconsin is being sued for promoting discriminatory DEI practices based on race and sexual orientation. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) launched a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin State Bar on behalf of a State Bar member who is compelled to pay mandatory membership dues that functionally fund DEI programming he argues unfairly discriminates against him as well as thousands of Wisconsin attorneys on the basis of racial and sexual identity. Specifically, the State Bar of Wisconsin’s “Diversity Clerkship Program” offers exclusive internship opportunities—ones that should be open to everyone, WILL’s client says—only to certain minority law students or those who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Some of Wisconsin’s largest law firms and government agencies participate in the race- and sexuality-based Diversity Clerkship Program, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The application itself requires prospects to submit personal statements, “an extremely important factor” in the “race-based selection criteria,” detailing how they “contributed to diversity” and have “demonstrat[ed] their commitment to diversity.” . . . WILL additionally argues that the program “advocates for supplanting equal opportunity with equal outcome” and “violates the free speech rights of students by discriminating against those who will not profess a commitment to this [DEI] ideology.”)

To stay up-to-date with news and commentary of interest to Illinois Republicans, what do my critics/opponents want you to read instead of my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters? My critics/opponents do not want anyone to read my newsletters; however, many of them read my newsletters for “opposition research.” Those who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican but who reject many of the planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote in my newsletters do not want anyone to read articles that promote those planks. As everyone knows, I promote my direct newsletter competitors. But many of my direct newsletter competitors ignore, dismiss, if not belittle the planks that I promote. Further, many want cheap labor, that is, they want mass/illegal immigration. Again, what newsletters do my critics/opponents want you to read instead of my newsletters? What arguments do they make for that?

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Historic Levels of Immigration: Who Decides? – RICH LOWRY (COMMENT: Democrat leaders want illegals because illegals vote for Democrats. RINO leaders want illegals because RINO leaders want cheap labor.)
https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/12/who-decided/
(FROM THE ARYTICLE: Historic levels of immigration shouldn’t be on autopilot. Do you remember the big national debate on whether the United States would adopt a policy to make the foreign-born share of the population the highest it’s ever been? Neither do I. For the simple reason, of course, that there wasn’t one. That doesn’t mean that the policy wasn’t adopted, through inertia and the Biden administration’s unilateral imposition of a de facto open border for a large swath of asylum seekers. An analysis of Census data by Steve Camarota and his colleagues at the Center for Immigration Studies has found that a 4.5 million net increase in immigrants since President Biden took office has boosted the share of the foreign-born to 15 percent, the highest ever recorded. You know all the black-and-white photos of immigrants coming to Ellis Island, the lore about names being changed upon arrival, “your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”? Today, we are eclipsing the “great wave” of immigration with an even greater wave. We hit 14.8 percent in 1890 and 14.7 in 1910, in what were, until now, the most historic decades for immigration. Just last month, the Census Bureau was still projecting the foreign-born share of the population wouldn’t hit 15 percent for another decade, in 2033. Now, we could keep going up from here. “If the immigrant population continues to grow,” Camarota writes, “it will set new numerical and percentage records every year going forward.” A straight-line projection shows the share of the foreign-born rising to 15.5 percent by the end of Biden’s term, and to an astonishing 17.3 percent by the end of a potential second term. This is not the normal course of business. According to Camarota, the foreign-born population has grown on average by 137,000 a month since the beginning of Biden’s term, higher than Donald Trump’s pre-Covid 42,000 and Barack Obama’s 68,000.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A number of Hispanic and Latino members of Congress, as well as advocacy groups, are becoming increasingly concerned that President Joe Biden may strike a deal with Republicans on immigration that they find unacceptable in order to secure passage of his high-priority Ukraine and Israel aid package. The fear, one Capitol Hill Democrat with knowledge of the negotiations said, is that the president will accept border policy changes proposed by Republicans that are “unimaginably cruel.” Democrats in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus demanded an “urgent” meeting with the White House over one week ago. Yet even though the president was in Washington for much of that period, it never happened.)
