"More Illegals in Illinois than California"

This should and would be no surprise to me or anyone else living here in Chicago or it's surrounding suburbs, of that you can be sure. Greater Chicano-land has been a ground zero dumping zone for illegal immigrants and their families for years and there appears to be no end in sight thanks to our spineless worthless politicians.

There is a plethora of information as to why Illinois is such an attractive state for illegals (along with a few others) that can be found here if anyone's interested. But below is an excerpt of an interview with the director of the Minuteman project and her assessment of the present situation.

"More Illegals in Illinois "The director of the Illinois Minuteman Project, Rosanna Pulido, told me: “There are more illegals in Illinois than there are in California.” That immediately got my attention. The interview below examines the successes and challenges faced by the Illinois MMP.

Sher: “Rosanna, you were one of the original members of the Minuteman Project. Can you give us some background as to how and why you became involved in the MMP?”

Rosanna: “I guess I read one article too many and started to become concerned! I heard about the April 2005 border watch and I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do as an American, so I went down!”

Sher: “You said that there are more illegal aliens in Illinois than there are in California. That was a shocker to me. How did you obtain this information?”

Rosanna: “We got that info from a meeting that was sponsored by us, and Susan Tully, the national director of FAIR. was our speaker. She told us this information, and we were a little shocked, but we knew that Illinois is a targeted state to dump illegal aliens.”

Sher: “Currently, Detroit is a ‘sanctuary city’ for illegals. How has this hampe for illegals. How has this hampered law enforcement’s ability to capture and prosecute illegal alien criminals?”

Rosanna: “If someone from Al-Qaeda is here in Chicago and stopped on a traffic violation, our officers are unable to ask them their immigration status. I talked to a Sun Times reporter three weeks ago who was doing an investigative story on illegal aliens who commit heinous crimes in other countries and come to Chicago and live with their families who are hiding them--because they know it is a safe haven. (ecepeda@suntimes.com this is the reporters e-mail).” " read more
