As the cost of housing and other necessities increases, more people feel financially pinched and doubt whether they can keep up, let alone get ahead. The promise of upward mobility has long been a core tenet of the American Dream. Is that dream still real? www.chicagobusiness.com/news/ccb-ame...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
