So Long Arizona... Moving to Illinois
Illegal immigrants are boycotting Arizona by the thousands, showing their outrage with Arizona's controversial new SB-1070 law by moving elsewhere.
In the small town of Guadalupe, AZ, south of Phoenix, Manuel Renaldo is one of those who is punishing Arizona by leaving. As he loaded his stolen car with his stolen belongings and family of ten, Renaldo told this reporter through an interpreter "It's a matter of principle; I refuse to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal!"
The effects of the exodus are being felt by Arizona retailers, who are reporting dwindling sales of beer, spray paint, and ammunition. Also hit hard are the state hospitals, which have reported a dramatic decline in births and emergency room visits. Tattoo parlors are in a state of panic.
Renaldo told a reporter through an interpreter that he and his family are moving to Illinois, a democratic state with high taxes where hard working people will support him and his family with dignity!

The town in central IL I used to work in had a flood of illegal mexicans back in the late 70's.
They just keep coming and coming.
I worked 3rd shift and at last break I would go outside for some air. You could see all the illegals sneeking around the shadows as there car pool came.( it was usually about 1/2 hour before day break)
They are mostly employed by one big factory. Some have green card and most don't. The don't pay any taxes at all. One person showed me their pay check and I was so pissed.
If they are going to work and live in the USA make them pay taxes just like the rest of us.
They live 15 people to a house about the size of a 1 1/2 car garage. You never could tell if thats how many live there with everone in and out. They can get gubment assistance because all the kids they have. They don't have to claim income from the other 4 adults living with them.

Sanctuary state Chicago has long been known as a sanctuary city aswell, and they just passed a dream act of sorts. Except the state is one the most likely to default here real shortly.
What would happen if all of the states surrounding Illinois were to suddenly not allow anyone with an Illinois plate to cross the state borders?
The federal government would step in and enforce the interstate commerce clause correctly.
If you worship totalitarianism/no freedom,love corruption where practically everything is illegal(except illegal aliens)and want to be taxed into poverty them come on in.[xx(]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
That just about nailed it on the head.

Any chance the company that hired illegals was Cargill, Oscar Mayer, or Excel??
You guys are right. [:(]

Yeah, I read this subject line and laughed out loud. I thought it was a joke! Out of all the places to go if you're gonna move that far... If you're the only car on the interstate heading in and there's a traffic jam headed out, it's not because of a natural disaster. It's because IL gov. is a disaster. NO concealed carry. Try to pass it but there's so many Chicago politicians you just can't get it done. We just had a huge majority vote for carry but since it wasn't a "super-majority", specially required by Chicago (not Springfield), it could NOT pass.
I just finished filling out my intrusive FOID card renewal form today. Have to get a pic of myself to cut down to 1x1 and tape it on the form. Which they will not use since they use your driver's license pic now...but it's required anyway. Along with a $10 check. Have to get it in soon so I don't morph into a felon come January. Based on the wait times, hopefully I'll have my new one by then. That's just so I can have something at my home!
It's a hostile environment for gun owners and almost everybody that lives here is completely oblivious to the fact that every other state has citizens carrying. Our citizens are afraid of it but are not afraid to travel to other states. Go figure.
Also a hostile environment for taxes. Wouldn't go anywhere near Cook Co. But we're all going to be hurting soon. They just jacked up income tax 2% and it will probably have to go up again soon. Corporate taxes were just raised 4%+ and drove some businesses out.
Unemployment rate is 10 to 11% depending on where you go. Just trying to save you some time and some grief. After a few years here, you'll be so pi--ed off you'll be ready to move again. Guaranteed.
What's my excuse? Well, I was born and raised here and do what I can to try to change things. Not an easy task with so many idiots involved. If you absolutely have to come here, we'll welcome any 'friendly', voter, we can get.

feds would refuse highway funds. but it would be fun, even if for a day.
Why not be out front and list this at the get go as as a joke or satire and take it at least over to the Forum for Politics. [V]
Everyone knows 99% of the stuff over there is pure bull chips. [:(]
Libman Broom factory is the place you were asking.
