You are paying child care costs for illegal aliens

By: Diane Benjamin This won’t be the last story. I can prove illegal aliens get Illinois child care subsidies, maybe even more than citizens get. Keep reading. Illinois’ ruling class hides information by letting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) administer the programs they create. The state shovels your money to them—and the trail ends there. Connecting the […]

Change your status to illegal

By: Diane Benjamin Senator Chapin Rose included this chart in a recent email. Compare your coverage to what non-citizens (illegal aliens) receive in Illinois – at your expense. Democrats value illegals, you are just their piggy bank.

Were those tears Tom Crumpler?

By: Diane Benjamin Alderman Tom Crumpler gave an impassioned speech pertaining to the plight of illegals and local housing. Of course his version is “migrants”. He based his comments on this WGLT story: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2024-03-22/it-is-difficult-right-now-housing-coalition-cites-ongoing-challenges-in-bloomington-normal A couple of points that are evidently way over Tom’s head: “Migrants” are abused long before they illegally enter the country.

Citizenship in Illinois is meaningless

By: Diane Benjamin Citizenship in America is meaningless as illegals continue to flood the border. They are handed benefits paid for by you. If you haven’t asked yourself why tax dollars are used to house them you probably went to a public school that didn’t teach what immigration as always been: opportunity, not freebies. You […]

Where “Welcoming Ordinances” are leading

By:  Diane Benjamin We have a blueprint for the future.  Just look at Sanctuary State California. The Trust Act made Illinois a sanctuary state, Chicago declared itself a sanctuary city.  The “Welcoming Ordinance” Normal passed is just short of that, but the local open borders activists aren’t going to stop there.  Progressives never stop. Did […]

  It passed with 2 no votes by Scott Preston and Jeff Fritzen.  Video you won’t want to miss tomorrow! By:  Diane Benjamin Monday night Normal will consider a “Welcoming Ordinance” for people who have no legal right to be in this country. We pass laws to protect law breakers? We pass law for specific […]

LWV aren’t non-partisan!

You might not think so when you see the State League of Women Voters Website:    http://www.lwvil.org/gun-violence-prevention.html Automatic guns have been banned since 1934 unless […]

No difference between Democrats and Republicans in Illinois

The #GOP leadership is supporting drivers licenses for illegal aliens.  http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x1156351109/State-GOP-leaders-back-drivers-licenses-for-illegal-immigrants According to the GOP, it’s okay to break the law by being in Illinois, work in Illinois, but somehow they will magically follow other laws?  What makes them believe illegals will buy insurance? Pandering to illegal immigrants, just like the Democrats do, will not win any […]

Why illegal aliens should NOT be issued a drivers license

1)  They are illegal!  Why should anybody who entered our country illegally, breaking the law to do so, be given any privileges? 2)  If the law keeps bending to accommodate illegal aliens, why have any laws at all?  or is that the point! 3)  American laws have always worked on the “honor” system.  Citizens aren’t assigned a personal monitor by […]
