Americans are very compassionate people and our hearts were melted this week by the distress shown by Democrat Governor J. B. Pritzker of Illinois. The Governor’s state is apparently being overwhelmed by “migrants”, a.k.a. illegal immigrants. And he is begging the person he considers responsible to stop it. That person is strangely not President Biden, the man in charge of enforcing immigration policy in the U.S. Neither is it himself, the man who signed into law legislation in 2021 which expanded protections for immigrant and refugee communities and established Illinois as the most welcoming state in the nation for illegal immigrants.
No, the man who should be blamed is Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas! Pritzker explained why in a heartfelt letter he wrote to the Texan on January 12th. Abbott has been bussing Illegals to ‘sanctuary’ cities and states for the last year or so. Sanctuary states are defined as states where governments refuse to work with Federal Agencies to deport Illegals and provide various services to house and feed them. ‘Democrat-run’ is the shorter definition.
Pritzker’s plea to Abbott was an Oscar contender: “I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please… suspend your transports and do not spend more people to our state.” Abbott’s response was a little different and can be summed up as “Hell, No”, with his reasoning being “Until President Biden steps up and does his job to secure the border, Texas will continue transporting migrants to sanctuary cities to help our local partners respond to this Biden-made crisis.”
The scope of the problem for Pritzker lies mostly with Chicago. It has received 32,000 illegals since August 2022. Most of these came from Texas, which claims its illegals delivery service has transported 30,800 to Chicago in that timeframe. The cost to Chicago can be seen by its expenditure of $138 Million in just 2023 alone. Plus it has no space left to put the illegal immigrants, and is being reduced to using O’Hare Airport as a temporary internment camp and building “winterised base camps” (this being Chicago the only one to be built so far had to be closed down as it was on a toxic waste site).
Throw in a nasty winter for the northern parts of the U.S. and it looks like Pritzker may have a point. Unless, of course, you compare this with the situation in Texas. Figures from CDP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) show that the Biden Administration has let in nearly 11 million people into this country – nine million through border ports of entry and 1.7 million estimated ‘got-aways’ (those who did not bother stopping at ports of entry). Nearly all of these are economic migrants who are entering the country illegally, i.e., if you turn up at our borders you can enter the country without documentation only if you are a bona fide refugee. Of these about 45% enter through Texas. Since Texas has made the delights of Chicago available to illegal immigrants in August 2022, 2,081,485 folks have entered through Texas ports of entry plus a good portion of the ‘got-aways’. Pritzker is moaning about having to deal with 1% of the number facing Abbott. And Abbott also has to deal with the massive human trafficking that has overrun the Texas border, as well as the destructive amounts of fentanyl and active terrorists being smuggled in through an open border.
One feels you would have to have a heart of stone to read Pritzker’s plea for relief from his self-inflicted difficulties without laughing (apologies to Oscar Wilde).
Pritzker is not doing anything other than pleading of course. As a Democrat, his modus operandi is to complain about others rather than doing anything himself. But even if he pushed Illinois to get rid of all vestiges of being a sanctuary state the border would still be wide open and the ever-growing ranks of illegal immigrants would continue to swell. The real villain is of course Biden. Biden promised to throw open the borders in his campaign and he, or rather whoever is running the show in the White House right now, is delivering spectacularly on that promise.
For the remainder of Biden’s term as President we are stuck with a situation getting worse by the day. And it is becoming easy to see where this may all end this year. Pritzker’s problem of where to put illegals is starting to become a nationwide problem and we have all seen the beginnings of what housing and feeding 11 million (and counting) extra folks will actually mean.
Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, reports over 150,000 illegal immigrants have come to New York. He cannot blame Abbott too much as Abbott has only bussed 37,000 folks there. The rest have come in on the Biden Administration organised transport. He does not have the space and has been reduced to throwing kids out of their school in order to house illegal immigrants, who did not want to be in an Adams tent city in a rainstorm.
Democrat Governor Healey of Massachusetts has come up with another plan to deal with the illegal overload. A few months back Massachusetts shelters were all full with illegals as they are so sanctuary statist that they have a law that guarantees any homeless family access to emergency shelters. Her plan to deal with this was not, as you might expect, overthrowing said law, but was something a little more worrying. In the words of her Lt. Governor: “Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need and become a sponsor family.” Today’s suggestions have a nasty habit of becoming legislation with the Healeys of this world.
Even as little as five years ago, no-one would have forecast folks actually suggesting in the USA that your kids should be turfed out of their school building to provide accommodation to citizens from other countries. Equally, of course, they would not have forecast the half a trillion dollars being spent on the needs of non-citizen criminals (it being a criminal felony to enter the U.S. illegally), the horrible human trafficking that takes place on the border, the fentanyl plague that has hit the country hard and the serious terrorist threat we have so blithely let enter our borders.
Or as Biden’s team might say: “Job well done.”

Well when you take a vaccine that is programs your cells to create the toxin created by a virus throughout your body with very little control this will happen…
These days I wonder what a virus is because the last time I checked coronaviruses were pretty harmless common colds and now we have a killer pandemic from one?
Oh thats right, its all a lie and they are making it up as they go along…
The truth will come out when the seasonality of coronaviruses kicks in over the winter months. If we’ve already gone from 99% to 77%, I think we’re in for a rude awakening as it begins to dawn on people that the vaccination drive has not been nearly as effective as made out.
Who knows, maybe there’ll also be a new found appreciation that 99% of people are completely fine after being infected anyway and we have to move on…we’ve got 3 people off work just now with symptoms of a runny nose for pete’s sake!!!!
It would be interesting to compare the vaccinated and unvaccinated for hospitalisations, intensive care admissions and deaths for ANY reason, not just “covid” (ie a positive pcr test result). I suspect a much less favourable picture might emerge. Is it just me, or do there seem to be a whole lot of (vaccinated) people ill with a wide range of health issues at present?
Yes! That’s exactly what I’m seeing, but they are all absolutely vehement that it has nothing to do with the experimental unlicensed drug they just had injected into them
Since the beginning of this year, among my vaccinated acquaintances and friends there has been one death from a stroke, one minor stroke, one major bleeding episode, one person diagnosed with fibrosis of the lungs who was perfectly healthy last year, one person, single jabbed, who had high numbers of inflammation markers in her blood which three courses of antibiotics failed to shift and several people “testing positive” for Coronavirus.
Am I being overly suspicious?
I’m a bit worried about spike protein shed myself (though I heard pine needle tea can help), and T worry that “vaccines” and NPI’s could create the conditions for worse variants. I wonder how things are going in South Dakota – and Belarus (even if they are threatening to invade the Baltic states).
yes
The Israeli data confirms all cardiac anecdotal evidence.
I suspect that we will now live in an era of generally very poor health, with the cult members adamant that it has nothing to do with the vaccination or boosters they keep having. This is going to get very interesting, and I still believe they will somehow blame us lot for it all!
Not just you.
We really need to see figures for vaxxed and unvaxxed in fairly narrow age bands, with information about their state of health, what else they were ill with. I’m sure we never will. The government are not in the slightest bit interested in vaccine efficacy, or any other covid related data.
Now surely “our” NHS” wouldn’t cover it up, would they?
I don’t like the sound of this.
Microchips for September? Because drugs, vaccines and the mark of the beast are the way out of this (or not)…
Hotel California springs to mind.
And I ask again, what do scientists independent of pharmaceutical companies and their proxies have to say about the vaccines?
Is this the ventilator treatment that Doctors stopped using in the US because they discovered its use was lethal to the patients in some instances?
My experience at the moment is that pretty much all of the vaccinated people I know are all getting sick with covid! Which is privately very amusing as they are all committed Guardian reading covid cult members.I just had covid, as an unvaccinated persons, and suffered four days of very mild sniffles! They simply don’t work!!
Antibody Dependent Enhancement, anyone?
Guardian readers? Maybe they don’t like work…
Give me an “A”
Give me a “D”
Give me an “E”
What’s that spell?

The good news at least for team apocalypse is that at least now they will get the “dark winter” they were pining for. Yeah Team Apocalypse!
Woooooo! Oh my god.
My missus and I were double vaccinated in May (alright, stop shouting at me!). Three weeks ago she had summer cold symptoms and tested positive. Probably the very transmissible Delta variant, so transmissible that I didn’t get it!
I had a very very mild dose back in March 2020 which has probably served me better than artificial jabs.
So the point of the vaccine, sorry, experimental gene therapy, is what exactly?
I’ve said it before, but the point of the “vaccine” is
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
A coup d’etat, without people even realising. The perfect crime?
You can NEVER drug/jab a body back to health. Medicine is meant as a support while you heal.
The figures show that old people die.
We simply cannot allow that to happen! (….I’m old’ish)
That’s good news isn’t it? The 3rd shot might not cause blood clots.. but may cause infertility, autoimmune disease, heart damage and early death.. I expect by the 6th or 7th shot you actually become younger and you develop superhero powers.
The 8th shot may undo all the mistakes you have made in life.. by the 9th shot you are a millionaire, by the 10th shot you own your own home and your children are perfect. By the 11th shot your mother and father are rich and you are at Eton, with not an original or sensible or decent thought in your head, ready to run the country into the ground because ‘save the planet’…
By the 12th shot, you live as long as a greenland shark.
Are they the ones who got mistaken for the Loch Ness Monster?
maybe.. they live perhaps to be 500… cold temperatures and slow metabolisms are good for health it seems.. that and sharks are some 400 million years old, surviving whatever killed the dinosaurs.. their immune systems are such that they don’t seem to suffer much illness.. bats on the other hand also don’t suffer much illness, yet apparently they harbour lots and lots of viruses.. despite a high metabolism and body temperature their immune system doesn’t go cytokine crazy.. some species can live 30 odd years.. with very little illness..
Bow whales possibly reach 300 plus years… again, well developed immune system that has developed over 50 million years.. good thermoregulation, slow metabolism.. less wear and tear…
I expect they’ll miss the 13th and go straight for 14th – just in case…
“This phenomenon warrants further investigation.” Well, I never! What a surprise! How about buying an old banger from the guy down the road, and relying on it to get along? A similar level of trust, perhaps.
You jest, but I know many, many people who have bought cars on the basis of a promise of reliability. I try to point out that such a promise is meaningless, since you cannot buy a car that WIL BE reliable since no one knows what will happen to it tomorrow, you can only buy a car that HAS BEEN reliable, but surprise surprise, they prefer the comfort of the meaningless promise…
Did anyone else notice the headline in the Telegraph a few days ago – cardiac events at home surge by over 30%. They were blaming lockdowns but it put me in mind of something else…
