[Townhall] Late last month, we learned that Jose Medina-Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, not only murdered 18-year-old Loyola College student Sheridan Gorman as she walked around Chicago with friends, but that he missed a court appearance because he was hospitalized with tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious infection that primarily impacts the lungs (but can harm other organs).
In March of 2024, Chicago was also the epicenter of a measles outbreak, thanks to the open border policies of the Biden administration as well as Illinois' sanctuary policies. After spending all of 2020, 2021, and most of 2022 insisting we had to keep COVID restrictions in place to "flatten the curve," Democrats were quick to open wide our borders to all comers, regardless of their vaccination status and while ignoring any diseases they may have carried.
Now another virus is on the rise in Chicago, and this time it's HIV. Infections rates grew nearly 30 percent between 2022 and 2024, and it's likely thanks once again to the Democrats' love of illegal immigration. |
