LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
— A collision between the welfare state, immigration – Editorial (DIERSEN: What percent of immigrants need/want massive government assistance to succeed?)
https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-a-collision-between-the-welfare-state-immigration-1950356/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America is built on the hopes and dreams of immigrants. But for the first 190 years of this nation’s existence, those immigrants arrived on our shores largely without any expectation of public handouts for food, shelter, medical care or anything else. Today, progressives advocate turning that equation on its head in a race for votes cynically cloaked as compassion. It was only 24 years ago that President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, signed a law holding immigrant sponsors responsible for the costs of any welfare benefits received by their charges. Current law also already prevents legal immigrants from collecting means-tested federal benefits for five years. Is it so unreasonable that many U.S. taxpayers might balk at immediately subsidizing migrants who enter the country illegally? The debate over illegal immigration is too often dominated by extremists locked in a cage match over whether to throw open the borders or to conduct mass deportations. The distinction between legal and illegal immigration — along with the costs and economic value of each — becomes clouded. Where is the reasonable middle ground? A recent Harvard study, Reason magazine reports, found that many Americans would be less hostile toward immigration if advocates made “the case that immigrants don’t need handouts to succeed.” Viewed through that lens, perhaps the administration plan to restrict public assistance can be seen as pro-immigrant, while the Democratic demand that taxpayers write a check so illegal immigrants may collect the “free” stuff they propose is, ironically, precisely the opposite.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20200130/an-opportunity-for-you-to-help-strengthen-protections-a-newspaper-provides
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Efforts by these groups and others have documented direct connections between the loss of local newspapers and increased taxes, increased government costs and decreased interest in local government, including fewer options in races for local leadership offices. “When important stories are not told, community members lack the information they need to participate in the political process and hold government and powerful private actors accountable,” writes Clara Hendrickson, a Brookings research analyst in a November 2019 essay titled “Why America Must Revive Its Local Newsrooms.” A newspaper is more than the printed pages you hold in your hand or scroll on your computer or smartphone. It is a team made up of editors, photographers, artists, reporters and more who keep watch on local affairs and seek out the information that readers use to manage their government and enhance their quality of life.)

I would focus on a) the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Illinois Republican Party (IRP), b) the candidates who MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP constructively endorsed since 2000, and c) the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP members, including me, who MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP destroyed. Since 2001, those who dominate the MTRO, DCRCC, and IRP have viciously destroyed me for supporting Pat O’Malley for governor in the primary instead of Jim Ryan.

I should write a book about those who have worked the hardest to drive me out. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican.
