By forcing us to feed & house those “migrants,” the (seeming) government of the United States is doing as the British Empire did in quartering its soldiers in colonial homes

The biggest difference is that Americans back then were not (of course) called “xenophobes” for their resistance to that foreign presence, or to the Hessian soldiers later used by George III

The Migrant Tax

Confiscation + Moral Rectitude = Governance

The Illinois, Cook County, and Chicago chief executives are arguing about how much money each should allocate to house and feed the new migrant population, those people who jumped the border’s natural and constructed barriers and entered the country ahead of many who were patiently waiting for visas. They are the celebrated, instant “dreamers” demanding our sympathy and support on pain of being labeled a narrow-minded, bigoted xenophobe. Hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds are being drafted for their care (in Illinois alone). What decent human being, we are asked, would suggest otherwise when families with babies and small children are begging for help?

The presence of the migrants is evidence of the contempt our “democratically elected” overlords, I mean, leaders, have for the electorate, the common men and women whose wallets they regard as fodder for their plans, their power and control of the population. If you add the federal income tax and all the other taxes and license fees-state, county, city-it’s a whopping percentage of one’s paycheck and in return we get poor roads, a healthcare system fraught with inequities and problems, vaccine mandates, censorship, surveillance, and an increasing number of rules with fines and penalties looming on the horizon.

(and speaking of surveillance, the intel “community,” and policing authorities spend billions, trillions over time, in the name of keeping us “safe,” but despite their violation of our rights, the spying, the censorship, they can’t possibly keep people from firing guns into a Super Bowl-celebrating crowd?)

Have a gas stove? Drive an old car? Haven’t accepted your “smart” energy or water meters? We’re coming after you. Even though social security benefits are taxed if you earn even a pittance, and life savings are taxed, and if a couple sells their principal residence for more than 500,000 (in cities where real estate is sky-high) they pay taxes. But, really, as Leona Helmsley said, “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.” That is, the very rich don’t pay. Her prosecution was the exception that proved the rule. Even the Oracle of Omaha has condemned the disparity between what the masses pay and what the Uber classes pay (12 percent, anyone?).

So, the addition of the migrant population that is overwhelming the visibility of Chicago’s native-born homeless population has created a moral imperative for the migrant’s well-being and care, and we are their saviors whether we like it or not, and despite their often sullen, demanding posture you’d better like them, damn it! The Migrant Tax isn’t a monetary one only, but a dispiriting burden, an unwanted layer of ugliness and chaos thrown into the volatile urban mix, as are mask mandates and mask-brainwashing and pro-vaccination propaganda.

I often see them in threes, as in the two images posted here. This dispels any doubt in my mind that they deliberately use their babies and small children as sympathy props in their morality play, because one of the adults could remain in the shelter with the baby while the other goes out begging for money. And that wouldn’t matter except, baby, it’s cold outside (today it was 28 degrees with a nasty wind chill) and that’s no way to treat a child, certainly not an infant.

Given the role of the public-private partnerships that have encouraged the recent parade of refugees, the NGO’s who distribute maps and no doubt write the signs for the migrants to bring into the streets, we might say that governments have “…forged…a diverse and decentralized administrative apparatus into a network of organizations acting in unison” [see Raul Hilberg, Perpetrators Victims Bystanders] to accomplish ends we can only speculate about in this case, but in the case of the global vaccine coercion, the vaccine “catastrophe,” (to again, borrow from Hilberg), that network of partnerships confiscated the lives and health of people all over the world.

If they can confiscate your health, your life, revoke the natural rights of humans and animals in the name of morality, what aren’t they capable of?
