Dear editor;
In his letter to president Joe Biden, governor JB Pritzker complained about the refugees being bussed to Chicago from Texas and how federal aid hasn’t kept up.
Pritzker rightly points out that the situation is “untenable.”
Immigrants are sleeping in police stations, airports, and temporary shelters, to make Chicago bureaucrats scramble to provide food, clothing, and medical care by putting a greater strain on already limited services.
Instead of enforcing border security and upholding the legal process, they are spending gobs of tax dollars for the basic needs for tens of thousands of new arrivals.
Although Democrats continue to parrot the we are a welcoming city mantra, taxpayers are expected to pay the price for billionaire Pritzker’s generosity to those future voters who are intentionally skirting the U.S. immigration process.
USA Today reports approximately 2.2 million without a health exam or criminal background check have crossed the southern border so far this year. Those numbers have risen to approximately 8,000 per day. And it’s expected to get worse.
Thanks to Democratic Party policies, the borders remain wide open. Yet, they want us to believe that big government and more tax dollars are the solution. Don’t believe them! They are failing the American people on so many levels, including upholding their oaths of office.
Sincerely,
David E. Smith, executive director, Illinois Family Action, Mokena, IL.
