By: Diane Benjamin YOUR government is advertising benefits to people who are here illegally, in a foreign language, and sending you the bill. Want to know why you can’t find a doctor? This billboard is on the West side of BLOOMINGTON: See the link stated above: https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/ Abe Lincoln would be appalled! Browse around that […]

By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo makes up history and twists facts to fit her own agenda: she wants democratic socialism. She will tell you that democratic socialism is much different from just plain old socialism, but it isn’t. Anybody who thinks government is capable of running your life better than you skipped civics and history. […]
By: Diane Benjamin The local progressives are possessed with bringing in illegal aliens! The latest is Illinois State University: Since we have no borders, these people aren’t illegal, merely undocumented. Yes it was sponsored by ISU: One of the speakers is a candidate for the Bloomington City Council – a former illegal alien […]
By: Diane Benjamin Tari Renner is desperate to score political points that have nothing to do with welcoming immigrants. He is pandering to his base and Karen Schmidt is standing in his way. Illegal immigrants are just pawns in this game. Radicals think they can “progress” their fundamental transformation of America and use illegals to beat […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Bloomington City Council appears to want illegal immigrants and undocumented people welcomed here. Most weren’t fazed by Chief Heffner’s statement that passage would make it less safe for legal citizens. https://blnnews.com/2017/12/18/welcoming-ordinance-tonight/ I’ve wondered ever since how these people are supporting themselves. It’s illegal to hire anyone who is undocumented, the welcoming ordinance […]
By: Diane Benjamin With all the heat Tari Renner has been feeling now for months, was last night’s packed chamber wanting a “Welcoming Ordinance” his way to get some love? Or was it a way to divide people based on ideology? Is the real goal to unravel the threads of a civilized society by turning […]
Ask Tari to explain the contribution illegals make verses the cost: https://www.nationaleconomicseditorial.com/2017/07/04/illegal-immigration-cost-illinois/ _______________________________________________________________ By: Diane Benjamin Mayor Tari Renner wanted to lump 3 controversial items together at Monday night’s Council, but one got derailed. The Council will consider: Bike Lanes on E. Washington to create congestion Welcoming ordinance for illegals The Citizens Advisory Board to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below is what the YWCA sent to elected officials. They left out the word “illegal” when describing the real agenda. Americans do not have a problem with LEGAL immigrants. Sneaking into a country or over-staying a visa means that person has no respect for laws or citizens. They are thinking only about […]

By: Diane Benjamin The bird-cage liner buys into all government spending is good. Today they jeered Gov. Rauner for shutting down the State Museum in Springfield. I didn’t even know there was a State Museum in Springfield! Don’t most people think about going to museums in Chicago, and maybe the Lincoln one in Springfield? Any […]
Or they are the stupidest people on the planet.
Below is a section of the Illinois GOP platform adopted 6/9/2012. This section speaks to immigration issues in Illinois. Note E and F. Where does issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants fit into the platform? Bill Brady, can you answer since you voted Yes? How does your vote “abandon incentives for illegal aliens to settle in Illinois”? […]
The Illinois GOP is going to support giving illegal aliens a drivers license! Anybody surprised? Your GOP representatives won’t care, but try calling anyway! More reasons they shouldn’t: Providing illegal aliens driver’s licenses would not increase road safety or decrease the number of uninsured drivers on the road. New Mexico issues driver’s licenses to illegal […]
by Diane Benjamin All of the below require politicians with guts and the desire to actually fix the illegal immigration problem forever! Since there aren’t many politicians that qualify, We The PEOPLE have to demand changes – they are never going to do anything except amnesty. After amnesty, we will be right back in the […]

Sheriff Emery referred me to a story written by Charlie Schlenker at WGLT radio. It goes into more depth and explains the problems more completely: http://wglt.org/wireready/news/2012/07/05173_CJCC_Immmig_depth_180058.shtml by Diane Benjamin A letter to the Editor in today’s Pantagraph from a local member of Latinos United For Change and Illinois Peoples Action caught my attention. They […]
