DEMENTIA JOE CAN'T PRINT ENOUGH MONEY.

That Illinois budget surplus of a year ago?  "Illinois state government received all sorts of fiat money from the Democrat state bailout masquerading as a 2021 coronavirus relief appropriation."  Oh, and all that posturing about Chicago being a sanctuary city and Illinois a sanctuary state?  There's no more printed money coming in, and the potbellied dictator has had enough.

On Monday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent a letter to President Joe Biden telling him of the unbearable burden of the 15,000 illegal immigrants that have arrived in Chicago and Illinois over the past 13 months. We just had more than 10,000 illegal immigrants cross the border in a single day (though Katrine [c.q.] Jean-Pierre won't admit it).

Pritzker tells Biden something must be done. He recommends, first and foremost, "that there be one person in the federal government who works directly for you in the White House who can lead the oversight of our nation's efforts at the border." Hmm … one person who works directly with Biden.

That's Twitchy, finding the receipts that the ditzy valley girl has that portfolio.  More buses will be coming. The bond markets will have something to say about the money printing the midwest's most progressive governor prays for.  "The governor recommends that President Biden create a single office with an identified leader to oversee the border and coordinate with cities and states, give the state more money for housing, food and social services and speed up the work authorization process for asylum-seekers."

Instead, the Jarrett regency comes up with a cock-and-bull story about how money a Trump-era congress appropriated to build a section of border wall can only be spent on a section of border wall.  The communist wing of the Democrats' coalition promptly pitches a fit.

Environmental protection advocates and immigrant rights campaigners expressed horror Wednesday over a Department of Homeland Security plan entered into the Federal Register that will waive more than two dozen laws in order to expedite the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

The "notice of determination" was entered under Section 102 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act, which was signed by former President Bill Clinton in 1996, and said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas "has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements."

The 26 laws—which include the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Conservation Act, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act—are being set aside "to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas," the Federal Register said.

The waiver will allow construction through the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge and could threaten endangered species including ocelots, as well as the plant species Zapata bladderpod and prostrate milkweed, said the Center for Biological Diversity.

Ocelots don't vote. Woodlawn residents do. A potbellied dictator of a governor, and a potted plant of a president, can grasp that.
