For the first week of March 2017 we chose a vid uploaded on March 01-17 by Big Band Lou - an older YT producer of mostly jazz pieces - frequently accompanied by good jazz vocals. This arrangement features excellent, easily executed but uncredited - vocals - with the whole video sounding very upbeat, fun, cheery and smile provoking. While this vid is about Buffalo, N.Y. which gets brutally cold during the winters - we want to make a few comments about Chicago with its winters - also - fierce - some years. We put an interesting comment under the video - not to be missed.
As a Midwestern "heart" of the U.S. - it is an accurate snapshot of the U.S. Presently - Chicago's vast population of "undocumented" people are in a big uproar - afraid of being deported. A lot of the Chicagoans call them "illegals" - since they either arrived in the U.S. in an illegal manner or overstay their visa in an illegal fashion. The Democratic politicians would not be "caught dead" calling that crowd "illegals" since the Demos - "crawl on their proverbial bellies" for the votes which they think they will get from the - legal relatives - of the "illegals"; the Demos will not get those votes anyway since almost everybody in Chicago is fed up with the Sanctuary city concept and other negative sides of illegal emigration.
Tons of the legal or naturalized residents want the "illegals" - out - especially if they have a criminal record which a lot of them - do. The local, leftist oriented - rich media manipulates the crime statistics to reduce that number. The city of Chicago - itself - is - traditionally - Democratic leftist' - slanted. The surrounding areas and the rest of Illinois baring some big cities' - neighborhoods - voted for Trump and presently - a large block of the huge number of the Independent voters - lean heavily towards the Republicans.
Most of the "illegals" are from Mexico and South America but also from Pakistan and other countries - as well. Currently they keep the immigration lawyers busy - since the ones who can afford one - get one in in a hurry. The free ones - who want the publicity and TV coverage - are not nearly as good as the seasoned ones. The talk of deportations dominates the Spanish speaking TV stations as well as Spanish language printed media full of melodrama while they conveniently forged to mention a lot of the negative aspects of the "illegals" overstaying their welcome.
The regular TV stations also display a pro-immigrant slant. Most of Chicago's media outlets has always had a "leftist" Democratic bias - notwithstanding some Democratic career politicians - rich and hypocritical - who don't give a "hoot" about anybody - since they just want to continue their "political hacks'" - lucrative careers. Still - I heard a conservative commentator stating on the radio the other day that "we need to clean out our city - all the foreign and domestic criminals have to go - that material - has to be cleaned out."
I thought that his - was rather harsh approach since the "illegals" are still human beings and need to be treated with respect. A young "illegal" broke my heart - the other day. He was about thirty - sat alone at the table in a cozy, informal but nice coffee shop - inside a big, terrific Chicago food store "Tony's Finer Foods" - a beautiful, truly democratic establishment. I noticed that he was in poor health - small, scrawny, skinny without the teeth since the outline of his jaw indicated that. He enjoyed his moment of piece when nobody bothered him. I wished that I could send a special angel to protect him.
Maybe God was busy giving the great movie star looks and talent for survival plus general talent - galore - to some other soul born into this world. After they deport him back to his country - probably - Mexico - he will definitely not get any "red carpet and orchestra treatment" of any kind. Mexico frequently likes to unload their poor onto the overloaded U.S. welfare systems.
Enough of sadness - everybody will have a good first week of March 2017! As always - click here - a week from today!
