Justice Department lay law down on sanctuary cities

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is following up on those who are breaking the laws of the land. Protecting criminals, gangs and illegal aliens has long been a effort with so-called sanctuary cities and counties as they are the people used on the street during elections. Taxpayers have long paid the price for this obstruction. Many politicians think they have the right not to follow the rules but except us to without question. It is good to see someone finally hold them accountable.

Jurisdictions that were found to have possible violations of 8 U.S.C 1373 will have until Oct. 27, 2017 to provide additional evidence that the interpretation and application of their laws, policies, or practices comply with the statute.

The following jurisdictions havepreliminarily been found to have laws, policies, or practices thatmay violate 8 U.S.C. 1373:

• Cook County, Illinois;
• Chicago, Illinois;
• New Orleans, Louisiana;
• New York, New York; and
• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“Jurisdictions that adopt so-called ‘sanctuary policies’ also adopt the view that the protection of criminal aliens is more important than the protection of law-abiding citizens and of the rule of law,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “I commend the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office and the State of Connecticut on their commitment to complying with Section 1373, and I urge all jurisdictions found to be out of compliance in this preliminary review to reconsider their policies that undermine the safety of their residents. We urge jurisdictions to not only comply with Section 1373 but to establish sensible and effective partnerships to properly process criminal aliens.”

Time for change

Obamacare premiums will go up after election but Democratic like Durbin want you to forget this and vote for him; even though he was a leading player in forcing Obamacare down our throat. It was Durbins' dishonesty that allowed all to believe that you could keep your health plan and doctor. He deceived the American people by lying about enrollment numbers, has failed addressing key issues facing Illinois families, is more concerned about illegal people here than the needs of U.S citizens. Are you happy that Illinois is the most expensive state to live in? Are you happy about where your taxes are going? If you don't care, don't vote.

This is the peoples campaign ad that was put up on the southside of Chicago.

 

Oh joy! First day of school

Well, today, Monday is the first day of school and Mayor Emanuel has totally prepared for safe passage routes to be safe by diverting most, if not all, City personnel to cover the 51 Welcoming Schools safe passage routes.

After years of waiting many of the vacant problem buildings have been torn down or secured, tree trimmed, lots cleaned, lights replace, new sidewalks have been laid, 1,600 new signs have been made up and hung to mark the routes and 600 "watchers" have been hired, trained and equipped with cell phones and fluorescent green vest at $10 an hour to walk the still gang infested safe passage routes.  

Over $16 millions, an increase of $8 million, is being spent just to get kids to and from school, that does not include the additional taxpayers money that will be spent from diverting police, firefighters and equipment, street and sands, park district, sewer, water, and everybody else to these routes this year for a period of one or two weeks.

   

Although all this money has not stopped shootings from happening within safe passage routes and has not stopped the planned protest next Wednesday by parents and community activists, who are asking these kids, many who are already failing, to stay out of school so they to can participate.   

No one can say that the schools are better now than they were at the end of last year. Budgets have been cut, programs have been cut, teachers and staff has been cut, overcrowded schools are still overcrowded and the Chicago Public School system still has a deficit that is continuing to grow.
