Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

Look at this another way. Undocumented immigrants are willing to work worse jobs for less pay and less desirable conditions and drive down what should be the natural cost of labor for those with legal status. It erodes pay and standards for those who are here legally. This is how you end up with markets where the workers can’t even afford to live there.
