Thanks, but it was easy and I'll share with everyone so they can check their states.

I just Googled "illegal immigration in Illinois" and it was all there. In fact there was at least another 12 pages I didn't even get to (yet).

But I was surprised to find such a pattern being exposed; I'm still spinning myself.

And YES we have to take back our state! (Poor Abe Lincoln has got to be turning in is grave)

We are watching Mexifornia formerlly known as California go down the crapper because of Illegal Immigrants and Illinois, Florida, New Mexico, Texas are not far behind

Welcome too Amerika and the New World Order

Dont bitch, dont cry.. it is too late for all of the silly sentiments.

Just pray your children and grand children survive. go back to your lazy boy.. get fat eating your TV dinner and take your medication as directed

You get what you pay for AmeriKa.... you pay for Sh_t you get George Bush and all that he wishes for you in the land of Oz

Were OFF to see the Wizard... the Wonderful Wizard of Oz... Because, Because, Because, Because, Because.... will be the last thing you hear as your medication kicks in ... All is Well and life is OK; sleep well in the land of Oz... see ya on the other side

He is really pushing it Big Time and I would guess DHS and/or citizens of IL will bring him down.

I have good friends in Champaign/Urbana,IL (I used to live there) and they tell me in the last couple years the hispanic population has soared and speculation is a lot of them must be Illegals since there are so many.

I suspect that you're right in that prediction.

And, it looks like the citizens of Illinois now have the golden opportunity to enlist the help of the feds in bringing this guy down with success.

DHS has already taken legal action against the state and issued a harsh warning to Illinois....and other states who would follow that lead.....that this type of interference in, and blatant disobedience of, Federal law, will not be tolerated in any form or fashion. You just have to know that the Feds are doing a slow burn over this man's continued actions so utilize it to your full advantage and strike while the iron is hot!!!

This may also just what is needed to knock Obama off his campaign horse!! You really have to wonder about someone who wants to be President who remains totally mute about the governor of his home state repeatedly and purposely violating the laws of a country this man wants to be placed in charge of.

The Feds are attacking for us, so there is hope after all.
Lets hope they can publicly link the Governor, and then we can take him down too.

Merry Christmas, Governor

Chicago Tribune Editorial

A governor already under siege took another pounding Thursday. Grab a tall eggnog:

Bad enough that Rod Blagojevich can't fashion a compromise among leaders of his Democratic Party in Springfield. Worse yet that Tony Rezko, his one-time top fundraiser, goes on trial in February. He's accused of using his ties to Blagojevich to extort businesses.

On Thursday a second close Blagojevich associate, fundraiser and adviser Christopher Kelly, was charged with tax fraud. A federal indictment accuses him of filing false returns and illegally structuring monetary transactions. Kelly's attorney says he is innocent. Rezko, too, was on the griddle yet again Thursday, charged in a separate indictment with an expanded role in a previously alleged loan fraud. That case is apart from charges alleging Rezko's involvement in a pay-to-play scheme to bribe investment firms that wanted business from the state's teacher retirement system.

Also: P. Nicholas Hurtgen, a former executive at Bear Stearns & Co. in Chicago, was reindicted Thursday; a judge had dropped earlier charges against him. He's accused of participating in a kickback scheme to secure state permissions for hospital expansion projects.

Whew. What does this December blizzard of charges mean? Let's shovel the snow slowly:

Federal prosecutors previously alleged that Rezko and another fundraiser schemed, almost from the beginning of Blagojevich's administration, to use their clout for corrupt purposes. The Tribune has reported that the other fundraiser is Kelly. The feds said Thursday the new indictment against Rezko is part of that probe, nicknamed Operation Board Games.

Remember, these are charges against people associated with Blagojevich, not against Blagojevich. No one accuses him or his administration of breaking the law. And U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald said Thursday, "We are not linking the indictments returned on the same day."

Maybe not in any formal sense. But Rezko, Kelly and Hurtgen, all in one day? What coincidence. Another point worth noting: Fitzgerald and Rob Grant, the FBI's top G-man in Chicago, took time to announce these indictments.

That has no significance in federal court. In the court of public opinion, though, this flurry (sorry) of indictments sends one unmistakable message from the feds:

If Kelly and Rezko by chance have any information about public corruption involving anyone, anywhere, the Department of Justice is all ears. And talking into those ears might help shorten any prison sentences that Kelly or Rezko might face if convicted.

And Blagojevich? Governors don't burnish their legacies when people they trusted get indicted. Kelly was Blagojevich's liaison to the Illinois Gaming Board during tense deliberations over where to locate a 10th casino.

So none of this helps Blagojevich. He and his friends Rezko and Kelly can spend the holidays ruminating about the old days, and pondering the pile of presents Patrick Fitzgerald has delivered.

Gov. Blagojevich and Operation Board Games ::
Public Official A: 'Shots landing all around him'

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald cautioned Thursday that people shouldn’t jump to conclusions about three people linked to Gov. Blagojevich being indicted on the same day.

But, for the second time, the governor is identified in a federal corruption indictment — this time as “Public Official A,â€

Thanks for this article Madeinchicago,I enjoyed readng it.

Looks like the Govenors chickens are coming home to roost and lets hope they lay a whole bunch of guilty,guilty,guilty eggs.

Hopefully Illinoinians are awake now and will VOTE .Part of the problem across the country has been voter apathy but I think alot of citizens have awakened.
