Now they are arriving by the planeload? Where are these illegals coming from and where are they getting the money to get through customs?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Obama is getting them the money to cross through Mexico. Otherwise it doesn't cost much to just walk on through a wide-open border.

Elmhurst actually has a airly large and certainly growing Asian population, that is almost as large as the Hispanic population there. With that being said, that is not what this is about. It is simply Nimbyism which is pretty much something that many liberal areas, conservative areas and moderate areas all have in common.

Except it's EXTREMELY hypocritic of liberals who pretend to be such bleeding hearts.

If liberals were actually at all sincere, every liberal would have at least one homeless person living with them in their home -- and there would be no more homeless people left.

No. Charity is the conservative position. The hypocrisy is on you.

And if conservatives were sincere about no abortion then they would have a baby living with them. And guess what.... there would be no hundreds of thousands of kids waiting to be adopted.

I live in one of the state's most conservative areas, and this is one of the biggest NIMBY places that I've everseen.

This ain't political.

Yes -- but it's not hypocritical for conservatives to be that way -- it is very hypocritical for liberals to be that. Every liberal should invite a homeless bum into their home --- but if you notice they never do. They only pretend to care.
