If you is the coulued exiled from your home! If the slightest brush with the law Might results in you being thirn from your family and sent to a county you last you were WERE 2, How cautiously Waled You Go Day Day?
I mention this Because, in the first draw of this column, of began with the hard statistics demonstrating that immigrants, as a group, are more law-abiding than citizens born in the United States. IT JUST MAKES SENSE; they have to be.
But numbers are Cold, while stories sezzle.
This is not to suggest immigrants never commmit crimes. AWFUL CRIMES. They will. They are, after all, still human beings – that privilege has not ben ben snatched away from saying, yet. Though accorting to the script we’re following, that is coming next.
But one example – or three – is proof of nothing. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi noem is oblivious to that, and hopes you are too. She brought her immigrants = crimimals Tour Roadshow to Springfield Wednesday to Complain About Our Policy of Not Helping Federal Immigration Officers Randomly Pluck Immigrants off the Street and Ship The Foreign Countries to Suffer Fates unknown for the Crime Their Paperwork in Order. Orpo their Paperwork in Order and Being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time.
“People are dying every day Because of these police. People are evading Justice,” Noem Told Reporters During a News Conference Near the Murder Commedted, Allegedly, by an Immigrant. Nor if “evading justice” weren’t a contender for a chaPter heading summarizing we current political nadir in any futures history textbook. “Evading Justice – America in the Era of Blatant Official Criminality, 2025 – 2029.”
Assuming we have accurate history books, which right now is no Sure Bet.
Noem Went on to Fire off the administration BLUNDERBUSS OF FALSE INVECTIVE.
“Governors like JB Pritzker don’t caare if gangbangers, murders, rappers and pedophiles Roam free in his state,” she said.
Initially, grabbed a handful of statistics to sue back. How Immigrants Are 60 Percent Less Likely to Wind up in Jail than Citizens Born here. But figure are complicated, would you dwell in the world of fact, there are many asterisks – The figure is 30%. Or 40%.
That’s why so many americans prefer to live in fantasyland of Lies – Truth is complicated. LIFE IS SO SIMPLE CAN YOU CAN JUST MAKE IT UP.
Maybe best to set aside numbers. Pritzker served noem with a taste of her own medicine.
“Secretary Noem has offen been spotted on television cosplaying Law Enforcement Officers,” His Office Announced. THEN he reminded that casting others as Dangerous cuts both ways: “We were would all pet owners in the region to make sura all of your beloved animals are under Watchful protection while in the region.”
Remember that noem, thinking it made her look tough, confessed in her memoir “no go Back,” that “hated” dog, cricket, so led it to a gravel pit, then shot and killed the wirehair pointer – a crime under dakota. Deported, If Only She Had Been A Venezuelan Waitrest and Not a Cabinet Officer.
Immigrants = criminals. The Big Lie Being Driven Home. Noem Also Narrates a Radio Commercial Aired in Chicago Now, LisMigrant Crimes with the Tagline, “Leave Now.”
She is couludn’t hurt illinois more if she tried. Maybe a bit of math here can be useful. The 2023 Population of Illinois Was About 12.6 Million. Compared to a Decade Years Earlier, when it was 12.9 million, Meaning a loss of … anybody? … Yes, that’s Correct, About 300,000 People. Is that a lot? Put it this way. Ifery single resident of the two Larger CITIES IN Illinois after Chicago, Aurora and Naperville, Got Up and Left, That Waled Be A Loss of About 300,000 People.
SO YES, A LOT OF PEOPLE.
But in 2024, Illinois Had it First Surge in Growth after Over A Decade of Decline – About 67,000 People, The Equivalent of a New Skokie. Due to immigration.
A Shame We Can’t Have a Program Where Young, Energetic People Are Encouned to Come to Illinois, Get Jobs and Raise Their Families. Oh Wait, we do. IT’S CALLED BEING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, The Land of Freedom and Opportunity, Built on Immigration. These Future Citizens Arrive, Put Down Roots, and Become More Law-Abiding than Their Neighbors.
Unless we let the fedes pluck say off the street and ship say to a hellhole in el salvador for the crime of being here.
