Chicago Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote more and more and more illegal immigration. Illegal immigration harms those who are poor the most. In Chicago, those who are poor are overwhelmingly Democrats who are minority, female, younger, lack education, lack job skills, and/or have health problems. Illegals drive wages down because they work for less money than citizens of America. Employers want illegals because employers want cheap labor.

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/10/27/white-house-demands-action-from-gop-lawmakers-on-gun-control-after-latest-mass-shooting-1407744/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The White House called for Republicans in Congress to get with the program and help to pass sweeping new anti-Second Amendment laws after another mass shooting, exploiting the tragedy to bully lawmakers at the height of public outrage. The determination of Democrats to get the guns out of the hands of law-abiding Americans was once again the order of the day on Thursday following the horrific events in Lewiston, Maine where a disturbed gunman opened fire at a restaurant and a bowling alley, killing at least 18 people and wounding many more in a bloody rampage from the front lines of America’s mental health crisis. The alleged shooter who, according to law enforcement, is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, is reportedly a man with issues so serious that was he hearing voices, recently underwent a mental health evaluation for erratic behavior, and was on the radar as being potentially violent. Yet to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and their fellow left-wing authoritarians, the real problem is guns.)

GAO works for Congress. GAO audits IRS. I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,270-$104,583/year. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $109,732-$142,650/year. My Democrat GAO superiors kept me off of audits of IRS for all but 3 of those almost 18 years.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0acb6ea4-7408-11ee-b6d2-17c0c2c516cd.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the IRS plans for a $78 billion investment that could transform the agency over the next decade, Democrats and Republicans have starkly different views about the challenges it faces going forward. The tax-collecting agency has struggled for years with customer service issues, delays processing tax returns, hiring and retaining key staff and safeguarding taxpayer information, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The IRS has a big job. It collected more than $4.9 trillion in taxes, processed about 260 million tax returns and issued more than $640 billion in refunds and outlays in fiscal year 2022, said Jessica Lucas-Judy, director for Strategic Issues with the Government Accountability Office. The agency is already preparing for a major overhaul as a result of the $78 billion included in the Inflation Reduction Act for the agency through the end of fiscal year 2031. This includes nearly $3.2 billion for taxpayer services, nearly $4.8 billion for modernizing business systems, and more than $25.3 billion for operations support, which includes the operation and maintenance of IRS’s IT systems.)

DAILY MAIL
— Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is slammed ‘for locking huge crowd out of public meeting about plan for migrant camp in crime-ridden city – even though there was plenty of space inside.’ The city is planning to erect a tent shelter camp to house up to 2,000 asylum seekers. But locals claim they were not consulted and have safety concerns for themselves and the potential residents. Close to 20,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022 as the city struggles with an accommodation shortage. – ISABELLE STANLEY
