WSIL
— Media the enemy? Trump is sure an insatiable consumer – AP  (DIERSEN: To keep up to date with government and political news and commentary in Illinois, it would be great if Trump would read GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails.  But short of that, it would be great if he would have his staff read the emails.  Illinois is a very important state.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34711054/media-the-enemy-trump-is-sure-an-insatiable-consumer
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Before most people are out of bed, Donald Trump is watching cable news. Indeed, with Twitter app at the ready, the man who condemns the media as “the enemy of the people” may be the most voracious consumer of news in modern presidential history. Trump usually rises before 6 a.m. and first watches TV in the residence before later moving to a small dining room in the West Wing. A short time later, he’s given a stack of newspapers – including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and, long his favorite, The New York Post – as well as pile of printed articles from other sources including conservative online outlets like Breitbart News. The TVs stay on all day. The president often checks in at lunch and again in the evening, when he retires to the residence, cellphone in hand. It is a central paradox of the Trump presidency. Trump is a faithful newspaper reader who enjoys jousting with reporters, an avid cable TV news viewer who frequently live-tweets what he’s watching, and a reader of websites that have been illuminated by his presidential spotlight, showcasing the at-times conspiratorial corners of the internet. No recent president has been so public about his interest in his media coverage, nor seemed so willing to mobilize the powers of the federal government based on a media report that he has just read, heard or watched. In fact, the power of Trump’s media diet is so potent that White House staffers have, to varying degrees of success, tried to limit his television watching and control some of what he reads. The president’s cable TV menu fluctuates. Fox News is a constant, and he also frequently watches CNN despite deriding it as “fake news.” Though he used to watch “Morning Joe,” a Trump aide said the president has grown frustrated with his coverage on the MSNBC program and has largely stopped. For Trump, watching cable is often an interactive experience. More than dozen times since his election, he has tweeted about what he saw on TV just minutes before.)

NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TELEVISION
— Council Moves to Make Naperville a “Welcoming City”  (DIERSEN: As everyone knows, “Welcoming City” is code for “Sanctuary City,” that is, it is code for a city that says individuals, organizations, and companies that are members of the following groups are NOT WELCOME: Trump supporters, Protestants, conservatives, Republicans, Americans, Whites, males, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
http://www.nctv17.com/council-moves-to-make-naperville-a-welcoming-city/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At the most recent City Council meeting, Councilwoman Becky Anderson directed staff to write up a resolution declaring that Naperville is welcoming to everyone regardless of religion, race or sexual orientation. This after residents spoke during public forum at recent meetings, requesting that the council take some official action to help all feel welcomed in our town. “We make sure that everyone is accepted within our city boundaries who are residents and who are visitors. I think there are a lot of people with the rhetoric that’s going around right now in the country, there are a lot of people of the Muslim faith who are frightened,” said Councilwoman Anderson. The proposed resolution, which was backed by many council members, would not be considered a legally binding ordinance, but more of a statement that says the city serves everyone equally.)

Trump Tweets Support for Women on Int’l Women’s Day (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians a) to hire, retain, and promote Democrat minorities and Democrat females and b) to make way for them by getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, I ALWAYS complied with all their Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion mandates, that is, I always gave preference to my superiors, to my supervisors, to my coworkers, and to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger.  However, I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, and that is why they wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— Gowdy: ‘Congress Is Much Better Equipped To Do Investigations Than Journalists Are’ – Christian Datoc  (DIERSEN: GAO is Congress’ investigative arm. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently, $94,610-$122,991. For 3 of those 18 years, I worked on audits of IRS. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt.  I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and a Forensic Accountant.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/06/gowdy-congress-is-much-better-equipped-to-do-investigations-than-journalists-are-video/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trey Gowdy criticized journalists reporting on alleged wire-tapping at Trump Tower in New York City, for relying on “anonymous sources” and “leaked information” during a Monday interview on Fox News. “I think Congress is much better equipped to do investigations than journalists are,” the South Carolina Republican told host bill Hemmer. “We can’t rely on anonymous sources. We can’t rely on leaked information, classified information which in and of itself is a crime.” “So with all due respect, to the reporters, I can’t cross-examine anonymous sources. You can’t even directly examine them. It’s a lot easier to write a news piece than it is to conduct an investigation.”  “What Congress needs is access to the witnesses, access to the documents and they need to understand we don’t run parallel, criminal investigations,” Gowdy continued. “We have a job to do, but it is not to investigate crime.”)

ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— Is White Privilege merely “Fake News?” – Oliver Perry (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I have always benefited immensely from White Privilege. They hint/imply/argue/shout that were it not for White Privilege, I never would have gotten the jobs that I did doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent federal taxes, and auditing federal agencies. But wait, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn all the aforesaid jobs as being so “bad” a) that they themselves would never take those jobs and b) that no minority, no female, no younger person, and no veteran should ever have to take those jobs.)
https://illinoisfamily.org/education/white-privilege-merely-fake-news/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White Privilege concept claims that white people have certain invisible advantages. These advantages might merely be the result of acquiring income, education, or a residence in “nice” neighborhood. A Department of Education study states that “Black students are suspended and expelled at a rate three times greater than white students.” But was the study covering disparities in just one school? Or were some data gathered from schools in peaceful communities and other data from schools serving as substitute gang battlegrounds? Again, all of the details matter. An important part of the White Privilege concept is that you can’t lose it, avoid it, or fix it. You’re guilty of racism just by living. This is important for activists, for guilty people are easily manipulated, and you’ll keep doing whatever the accusers ask for. Finally, the White Privilege concept creates its own definition of racism. The common definition of racism judges a person on their thoughts, words and deeds. The White Privilege version says that you’re guilty because the accuser doesn’t like how society is currently structured. These advocates are moving the goalposts to encourage a political and social reengineering of America. So what do we know about White Privilege? It was invented to push people into accepting a socialist or Marxist society. You are accused of being racist, but not for anything you did. There is no way for you to fix this so-called racism. Your only hope is to join your accusers and reshape society to their plans. That sounds like “fake news” to me. It is guilt inducing without cause. Throw it out.)

http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/04/news/economy/h1b-visa-expedited-suspended-reaction/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: H-1B visas allow employers to bring in skilled foreign workers; about 85,000 will be given out this year. The visas are in high demand and given out by lottery. It can take six months or longer for an application to be reviewed. But the government announced Friday that, as of April 3, it will suspend the “premium processing” option, which ensures an application will be reviewed within 15 days. It costs $1,225. Trump has accused companies of abusing the H-1B program as a way to hire foreign workers who take jobs away from Americans, at lower salaries. The Trump administration says it’s doing away with quick-turn processing so it can sort through a large backlog of applications and try to “reduce overall H-1B processing times.”)

BRADENTON HERALD
— Progressives wants to silence foes – PATRICK NEYLAN, BRADENTON
http://www.bradenton.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article136275133.html
(FROM THJE LETTER: After four years of national malaise, conservatives were devastated by the presidential election results of 2012 even though they recaptured the House and Senate. While this was a definite setback for Democrats, the incumbent president defiantly declared he had a phone and a pen to enact his vision for America. The progressive reaction to the presidential election of 2016 is something to behold. Unlike conservatives, they destroy property, hold hate rallies, and spread a blizzard of lies, vulgar invective and fake news. The left wants to silence or destroy anyone who doesn’t fit in. They use terms such as the subject is settled, the discussion is over or the subject is not politically correct. This helps their lemmings avoid the headache of independent thought or objective inquiry. The national debt is never mentioned because it might cause the naïve to realize that America cannot afford the benefits that we currently enjoy. World-citizen progressives lobby for open borders and amnesty; this will provide excellent competition for the race to the bottom in jobs, wages and benefits, etc. Progressives’ idea of multiculturalism supports anti-western cultures and laws which document (in writing) a terrible human rights and antidemocratic record. They call it diversity. Qualified conservative professionals have about a one in 14 chance of gaining employment in the news media or academia. Does that sound democratic to you? Before this bias destroys America, laws like Equal Employment Opportunity must be passed. Perhaps readers will notice that world-citizen progressives avoid addressing the economy, existing unenforced laws, patriotism, borders, security, debt control and time-honored ethics, etc. What do they really have in mind, not even their lemmings know?)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Working Longer May Benefit Your Health – CHRISTOPHER FARRELL (DIERSEN: For my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government, destroying their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran was always their top priority.  In September of 1997, they made it very clear that if I did not take their early retirement “offer” by the end of the month, they would viciously kill me figuratively if not literally.  All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being physiological terrorists.  Should I write a book about them?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/business/retirement/working-longer-may-benefit-your-health.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are there health benefits to staying in the work force longer?  The scientific research is inconclusive, though it tends to tilt toward “yes.” This is particularly pronounced among people who find work fulfilling in the first place, who tend to be office workers, teachers and others whose workplace is not, say, a factory or a construction site. More so than people in most previous generations, baby boomers are continuing to work past their early 60s, often well beyond. Sometimes, this means delaying retirement from a longtime job, but it can instead involve some kind of bridge job, part-time employment or self-employment. It turns out that, these days, older Americans who retire — in the sense of completely withdrawing from the paid labor force — are increasingly in the minority. “What is the benefit of work? Activation of the brain and activation of social networks may be critical,” Nicole Maestas, an associate professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School, said in an interview.)

— Like Rauner, AG Madigan snubs Trump in Washington – Kim Geiger  (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps can/will hint/imply/argue/shout that a) Rauner represents all Republicans in Illinois and b) because Rauner snubs Trump, all Republicans in Illinois snub Trump.  What do the following have to say about that: your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, the officers of your township, ward, and/or county Republican Party organizations, your representative on the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC), the IRP officers, the IRP National Committeeman and Committeewoman, the Lieutenant Governor, your Republican Congressman, the Republican State Senate Leader, the Republican State House Leader, your Republican State Senator and Representative, and the Republicans who represent you in your municipality, township/ward, and county?  What if the IRP SCC passed a resolution calling for Rauner to work with Trump?)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Staying home from New Trier – Shia Kapos
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/kapos-making-political-oratory-great-again/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New Trier High School’s seminar day examining civil rights has gone off without a hitch. No numbers yet on attendance, but the auditorium seating was nearly filled. At least one family, however, chose not to send their student to school. Robert Blackwell Jr., a Chicago entrepreneur and friend and supporter of President Barack Obama, says his daughter stayed home. While the school took some heat from conservative parents who thought the curriculum leaned too far left, Blackwell worried the content just wasn’t appropriate. He lives on the South Side and his daughter lives on the North Shore with her mom. Blackwell said negative images were being reinforced, and he pointed to a session called “Blackenomics 101,” based on a rap song that uses the N-word. “This session tells white teenagers that blacks need to express themselves through vulgarity and violence,” he said. Blackwell is chairman of EKI-Digital, which helps companies monetize technology investments, and he’a chairman of Killerspin table-tennis company. Keynote speakers were Colson Whitehead, who wrote “The Underground Railroad,” and Andrew Aydin, who with U.S. Rep. John Lewis, co-authored “March.”)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Did the 2011 White House correspondents’ dinner spur Trump to run for president? – Amy B Wang  (DIERSEN: Democrats are disciples of Saul Alinsky.  Alinsky’s fifth rule encourages the use of ridicule.  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who use ridicule.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump-20170226-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If several media and political pundits are to be believed, President Donald Trump sits in the White House today as the result of several hours one warm April evening nearly six years ago: the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. That year, at the invitation of none other than The Washington Post, Trump — then best known for “Celebrity Apprentice” – attended the event, an annual gathering of journalists that typically has been headlined by the sitting president. Or, as The Post’s Roxanne Roberts once described it, a dinner “devolved from a little-known media evening into a black-tie mash-up of the Super Bowl, the Oscars and Davos, Washington-style.” Trump was no ordinary celebrity guest in 2011, however. In addition to being a reality TV fixture, he was one of the most vocal opponents of President Barack Obama, leading the “birther” movement that had demanded Obama release his birth certificate. Trump had also been hinting, not for the first time, that he might launch his own bid for the presidency. All of those things coalesced to make Trump the target of a large swath of jokes at the 2011 correspondents’ dinner. First came Obama, who roasted Trump for a full five minutes that evening, seeming to delight in directing zingers at the man who had questioned whether he was a legitimate president. (Unbeknown to the world then, the president was also, at the same time, authorizing the raid that would kill Osama bin Laden.) “No one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald,” Obama said. “That’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like: Did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?” Obama also joked about Trump’s experience to lead the nation. “All kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience,” he said. “For example, no, seriously, just recently in an episode of ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership and so, ultimately, you didn’t blame Little John or Meatloaf — you fired Gary Busey. And these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well-handled, sir. Well-handled.” But it was comedian Seth Meyers, the host of that year’s dinner, who really laid into Trump. For several minutes, Meyers lobbed one joke after another at Trump’s expense, even wedging in a prescient imitation of Trump hosting a White House news conference: “Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make an excellent president. Of course, he said the same thing about an old, rusty birdcage he found.” “Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican – which is surprising, since I just assumed that he was running as a joke.” “Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.” Video from the dinner would later show Trump seemingly frozen in the audience, lips pursed, staring straight ahead with his face set into something between a squint and a hard scowl, as Meyers continued. Several publications have since seized upon the 2011 dinner as the moment in which Trump’s political ambitions crystallized. “That evening of public abasement, rather than sending Mr. Trump away, accelerated his ferocious efforts to gain stature within the political world,” the New York Times wrote last March. “And it captured the degree to which Mr. Trump’s campaign is driven by a deep yearning sometimes obscured by his bluster and bragging: a desire to be taken seriously.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— More taxes? Really? – PAUL FICHTNER, Member, DuPage County Board
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170224/ISSUE07/170229911
(FROM THE LETTER: I read with interest a recent opinion piece (“Here’s a way to stop Illinois’ shame spiral,” Feb. 15) by Michael Belsky that calls for a “tax revision commission.” I suspect his main goal is to call for a tax on services when he says, “Today only 17 percent comes from the sale of goods and 71 percent is derived from services. The service economy is benefiting from the state and not sharing in the cost. This is wrong.” In 1965, there was no state income tax. Today it is 3.75 percent, soon to go higher. Sales taxes that were 4 percent in 1965 are now over 10 percent in Chicago. These large increases in taxation rates over the years have made up for any “lack of service tax revenue” and were probably designed with the fact that services are not taxed. Last year, 37,508 people moved out of Illinois, and companies have made decisions not to locate here. Residents are leaving because of high tax rates that have also caused businesses to not move or expand. An additional service tax will hurt the very service industry that he shows is such an important part of our economy. It is very disappointing to hear the drumbeat of more revenue as the “only way” to recover from bad fiscal management. The crisis I see is the lack of urgency in addressing ideas to reduce expenses, smart consolidation of governments and exploring privatization of some government functions. Pushing aside my 10.75 percent sales-taxed breakfast in Chicago this fine morning, I call for the creation of an Expense/Efficiency Revision Commission, on par with any Tax Revision Commission.)

They ignored/belittled my GS-12 IRS Special Procedures Staff position description that I worked under 1976-1980.  They ignored/belittled the GS-12 IRS Revenue Officer position description that I worked under 1974-1976. They ignored/belittled that had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.  They ignored/belittled the fact that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.  They ignored/belittled the fact that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976.  To transfer, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $71,326.)

— Know your candidates before voting – Michael H. Prueter, Naperville  (DIERSEN: How long has your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain held that position?  How well does he/she know the candidates?  I have been the DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman since 1999.  How active is your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain in your township/ward/county party organization?  Since 1999, I have the best record by far for attending Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meetings and events. Sadly, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC) does not allow DuPage County Republican Precinct Committeemen to attend its meetings.  However, since 1999, I have one of the best records for attending DCRCC events.  Further, since 1999, I have one of the best records among rank-and-file Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains for attending Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee meetings and events.  I attended the IRP State Party Conventions as a delegate in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016.  I served on the IRP Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2008. The aforesaid, plus my serving as a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman for almost 7 years 2005-2012, as the MTRCC webmaster for 6 years 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member for 4 years 2003-2007, and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, I have a very strong basis on which to form opinions on Republican activists, Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, Republican party leaders, Republican major donors, Republican political consultants, etc., especially in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-voice-letters-opinion-st-0226-20170225-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Local city and township elections are coming Tuesday. Do people really know who they are voting for? Many people are swayed by signs and advertising but don’t really know the quality and abilities of the candidates. The Naperville Township Low Tax Team has excellent incumbent and new candidates on the slate. Rachel Ossyra is the township supervisor and has done an excellent job of keeping taxes down and services at an optimal level. She has been an international business executive, and develops and maintains budgets, manages the township with professionalism, and has earned the support of the people of Naperville Township. She is an excellent public official and deserves to be re-elected. The team of trustees is also a good mix of incumbents and new people who will represent the township with solid backgrounds in business and public service. As a former GOP chairman, I have worked with many great elected officials and party committeemen and supported many of them. People really need to find out who their elected officials are at every level of government and learn about the candidates. It is their local government and their tax money being spent.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/ct-nvs-voice-letters-opinion-st-0226-20170225-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Got a kick out of “Toby Keith decried as too ‘political’ for Naperville Ribfest.” I mean, really, we wouldn’t want too much diversity! One big reason Trump handily beat Clinton was that a lot of decent, moral people are getting really fed up with liberal hypocrisy, liberal judgmentalism, liberal self-righteousness, liberal name-calling, liberal violence and hate, liberal intolerance and liberal bullying. We need to encourage the “politically correct” mob to keep opening their mouths so they can make fools of themselves. We’ll keep winning elections, and they can look in the mirror to see the losers that they are.)

BELLEVILLE NEWS DEMOCRAT
— Highest pay in nation not good enough for Illinois workers – Editorial
http://www.bnd.com/opinion/editorials/article134721029.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Someone apparently needs to check the state of Illinois’ email system, because the 38,000 members of the American Federation of State, Callous, Me-First Employees failed to get the three messages from Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner that this state is so broke that we are in a crisis and cannot afford another $3 billion a year in raises. The state’s largest employee union authorized a strike rather than take the same deal 20 other state unions already accepted. They were the nation’s highest-paid state workers at $63,660 in 2015, which is double your private sector average Illinois salary of $32,206. Not to mention, they only work 37.5 hours a week, pay about one-fourth of their platinum health care coverage while taxpayers put in $15,000 a year and their early retirements at age 50 and their premium pensions are the main reasons Illinois taxpayers face a $130 billion liability. It would be interesting to see them strike and watch what happens next. The folks manning the prisons and responsible for law enforcement can’t walk off, so public safety would be OK. Illinois can legally replace striking workers, and Rauner’s office said there are already 18,000 applicants, including 2,000 veterans. The unholy alliance between the state’s Democratic majority and the state employees financing their campaigns is what put us in the $130 billion pension hole and with $12.4 billion in unpaid state bills. We are fools if we make the tax burden even worse in Illinois, which already has the nation’s highest state and local taxes. Jobs and workers are already fleeing Illinois. Missouri gains 20 people a day from Illinois, so which area with the largest population concentration outside Chicagoland stands to suffer the most? Illinois property taxes last year averaged more than double Missouri’s. Missouri just became a right to work state. That rumble you hear is the sound of even more moving vans starting. The thud that follows would be state AFSCME workers refusing to get out of the way.)

— Sanctuary issue draws dueling demonstrations to Capitol – John Reynolds  (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats treasonously encourage people to come to America illegally, to stay in America illegally, and to bring others to America illegally.)
http://www.sj-r.com/news/20170225/sanctuary-issue-draws-dueling-demonstrations-to-capitol
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A pending bill in the Illinois House that would create sanctuary zones for undocumented immigrants drew demonstrators from both sides of the issue to downtown Springfield Saturday. Rosanna Pulido of Springfield, founder of The Illinois Minuteman Project, organized a noon rally at the Abraham Lincoln statue at Second Street and Capitol Avenue. The rally was in opposition to HB 426, which would allow schools, medical treatment and health care facilities and places of worship deny access to state and local law enforcement officers who are enforcing immigration laws, unless the officers have a court-issued warrant. “It’s absolutely ridiculous,” Pulido said. “I think the biggest question we have for Governor Rauner and any legislator who would want to pass this bill is: Does making it easier for illegal aliens to stay in Illinois improve the lives of Illinois residents?” About five minutes into Pulido’s rally, which drew about 50 people, a group of about 30 people marched down Capitol Avenue chanting “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” The counter-protestors set up shop on the northeast corner of Second and Capitol near the Martin Luther King Jr. statue. The counter-protest was organized by the same people who did the Nov. 19 Springfield Stands United rally, and other local groups, said Valerie Liesenfelt of Springfield. The Springfield Stands United rally started out as a demonstration against then-President-Elect Donald Trump, but morphed into an anti-hate rally. Speaking Saturday, Liesenfelt said they don’t want to see children ripped away from their parents. “We aren’t going to tolerate people who want to close our borders from people who are trying to just seek a better life. That’s what America was founded on,” Liesenfelt said. Hot-button issue  The bill that got the two groups out in the 33-degree weather was introduced by state Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, D-Hillside. His district includes west suburban Cook County. Welch wasn’t at the rallies but spoke about the legislation during a Friday telephone interview. “I think this is an important piece of legislation that sends a signal to the rest of the state and the rest of the country that Illinois is a safe place to live and we are a welcoming state,” Welch said. Welch said HB 426 is not a sanctuary city bill but was specifically written to create safe spaces. Those places are state-funded schools, nursing homes, health clinics, hospitals and churches. “People shouldn’t live in fear of deportation,” he said. “They should be able to go to school and receive an education without feeling like federal law enforcement officials are going to bust in and raid their classroom. They shouldn’t fear going to the hospital. That’s a place of treatment and recovery.” Welch said that after the November presidential election he got calls from school officials who said they had a lot of scared children in their classrooms. “The day after the election, teaching and learning did not go on in school,” Welch said. “Teachers spent the entire day counseling very distraught children who were crying and worried about being deported themselves and worried about whether or not they would go home and their parents wouldn’t be there.” State Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, was at Pulido’s rally, which was billed as an “Illinois America First Rally.” His district is also in the Chicago area, and includes the communities of Crystal Lake and Elgin. Skillicorn has proposed a bill, HB 2942, to counter Welch’s. He disagreed with the assertion that children need to be protected from immigration officials while in school. “I haven’t heard of any children or school children having a risk of being deported or seized by (federal agents),” Skillicorn said. “People who are criminals or felons who don’t have legal status, those are the people committing the DUIs, who are committing the crimes. Those are the people we should really worry about.” Fiscal concerns A synopsis of HB 426 posted on the Illinois General Assembly’s website includes a fiscal note that the estimated cost of the bill is $5 million. Welch said the estimate is a one-time cost, and he believes the number is inflated. Skillicorn is opposed to spending state money on HB 426 and added he’s concerned about the potential loss of federal funds if state and local law enforcement do not cooperate with federal authorities. “Realistically, Illinois is broke,” Skillicorn said. “We need to save money everywhere we can. The idea of spending millions, if not billions of our federal matching dollars, is just something we can’t afford right now.” Pulido shares his concerns about the state’s fiscal condition. “We’re broke. We have the disabled not getting funds, we have schools getting their funding cut, seniors getting their funding cut, and now we’re going to talk about $5 million to help the illegal aliens to stay in Illinois. No,” Pulido said. The people in favor of sanctuary for undocumented immigrants chanted throughout Pulido’s rally. At one point, they chanted, “No ban, no wall, sanctuary for all.” Several of the people on Pulido’s side of the street, the ones opposed to sanctuary, waved American flags and occasionally chanted “USA, USA, USA.” Some of their signs said, “Illegals welcome is fake news” and “No sanctuary. Help our vets.” The two sides stayed on their respective sides of the street. There were no physical altercations between the two groups. Pulido’s rally wrapped up after about an hour, which is how long she expected the event to last. “I knew they would be here,” Pulido said of the counter-rally. “That’s fine. That’s what freedom is all about.”)
