New babies in Illinois


My brother-in-law's son and his wife just had a baby in central Illinois. Little Liam Timothy Kimmel (and a last name I won't reveal) was born by C-Section, and born with $10,000 of Michael Madigan's debt. THANKS Mr. Madigan and all you scum-ocrats. This kid is already burdened by the  scum-ocrats in Washington, DC. and now he has the scum-ocrats in Springfield piling on more debt. Geez.

Yep, no-bama is all about redistribution of YOUR wealth

Private pay shrinks to historic lows: "Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds."

Here is the Arizona legislation concerning ILLEGAL immigration

GO TO THIS LINK (SENATE BILL 1070) for the Arizona law on ILLEGAL immigration. When you read it you will be better informed than no-bama, the AG, and the Homeland Security Secretary (and probably most of this disturbing president's administration). Obviously they don't have the time or the inclination to actually read the bill to have the facts, not the bull-sh*t they're tossing around.

"The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of  Arizona. The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the  United States."

And then it says VERY CLEARLY:
A PERSON IS PRESUMED TO NOT BE AN ALIEN WHO IS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES IF THE PERSON PROVIDES TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR AGENCY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. A VALID ARIZONA DRIVER LICENSE.
2. A VALID ARIZONA NON OPERATING IDENTIFICATION LICENSE.
3. A VALID TRIBAL ENROLLMENT CARD OR OTHER FORM OF TRIBAL IDENTIFICATION.
4. IF THE ENTITY REQUIRES PROOF OF LEGAL PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES BEFORE ISSUANCE, ANY VALID UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDENTIFICATION.

So here is pretty important stuff for the police officers to consider:
"A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE MAY NOT CONSIDER RACE, COLOR OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS SECTION EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE UNITED STATES OR ARIZONA CONSTITUTION."

Seems pretty clear to me. I might only have a Master's Degree in Law, but that law is pretty darned explicit in it's requirements. So why the hoo-haw about it? Yep, pure politics on the part of demon-crats. Maybe a few of them should actually READ THE LAW and take a spin through some police training manuals which are very specific about forbidden behavior.

This says a lot about the immigration issue in Arizona

The more they threaten the more people will push back and enforce the immigration laws. If only we had a president who would get off his ass and actually ENFORCE the federal laws--ya, like that's gonna happen!

Another Blago program that costs us ba-jillions and is unnecessary

From today's Illinois Review (LINK HERE)
"The Illinois Auditor General's findings on the 2005 All Kids program showed serious inconsistencies that is prompting a call for more investigation from House Republicans. Last week, the Auditor General found the controversial program, first initiated by the impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich, cost taxpayers in excess of $70 million, is not run efficiently, allowing coverage when it should be terminated, and 70 percent of All Kids' medical claims were for undocumented immigrants. 
Auditor General William Holland's All Kids' findings of  showed:
  • In FY09, 94,525 children whose family income was greater than 200% of the federal poverty level or were classified as undocumented immigrants were enrolled in the expanded All Kids program.
  • Total claims paid in FY09 for the expanded All Kids enrollees were $79.1 million. HFS received approximately $8.9 million in premiums from enrollees, thus making the net cost of the All Kids expansion approximately $70.2 million.
  • HFS does not terminate All Kids coverage when the enrollees fail to pay premiums as required by administrative rule and statute. 
• Annual reviews of All Kids eligibility – also called redeterminations – were not being adequately implemented by HFS.
• Only one pay stub is used to check income eligibility and no cross-reference to other state records occurs to double check income level.
• HFS paid nearly $50,000 in claims for individuals who exceeded the age limit.
• 43% of enrollees did not provide proof of birth and 6% of cases could not have the identity of the enrollee confirmed.
• 70% of the medical claims incurred were for citizens with undocumented citizenship, although due to program integrity deficiencies, some legal immigrants were actually misclassified as undocumented (thus failing to earn federal match).
• The results of the audit were delayed because it took HFS more than 6 months to provide some of the requested data.
• HFS paid a third party contractor over $8 million from FY 2006 – FY 2008 for marketing of the program (initial RFP stated that the marketing contract would be $3 million). 
 
This is what happens when demon-crats have total control of government. This should really remind everyone why they should vote them out of office.

And you wonder why all the landscapers are named Jose or Jesus....


"In a state with the nation's highest jobless rate, landscaping companies are finding some job applicants are rejecting work offers so they can continue collecting unemployment benefits.
It is unclear whether this trend is affecting other seasonal industries. But the fact that some seasonal landscaping workers choose to stay home and collect a check from the state, rather than work outside for a full week and spend money for gas, taxes and other expenses, raises questions about whether extended unemployment benefits give the jobless an incentive to avoid work."
