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 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.)
