South Suburban Mayors Want To Slow Down Gambling Expansion In The Region Continued from page 1

BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

The State of Illinois recently passed a new law that allows for a major gambling expansion across the state including a new casino in Chicago, a casino in the South Suburbs, and the addition of racinos, a combined race track and casino, across the state.

The Southland Regional Mayoral Black Caucus recently came together and signed a resolution that asked that immediate action on the approval of a proposed racino be put on hold until a feasibility study can take place to determine whether or not the region could support more than one gambling destination.

The recently passed Gambling Expansion

legislation stated that a south suburban casino could be located in Bloom, Bremen, Calumet, Rich, Thornton or Worth Townships and a racino could also be located in any one of those same six townships or Orland Township.

“Signing on for a racino should be delayed until a fully comprehensive feasibility study has been completed to determine if it is viable to have a racino near a casino. My view is that it just will not work,’ said Sheila Chalmers-Currin, mayor of the Village of Matteson.

Having a south suburban racino and casino operating near each other would put them in competition with each other and many are worried that there are not enough gambling dollars to go around.

“They’re putting a racino up against the ca-

sino and there is no way the two can exist. It’s not just me, but several of the South Suburban mayors want to put a hold on the plans for a combination harness racing track and casino,” said Chalmers-Currin.

Chalmers-Currin said that she has a great vision for what the south suburban casino could be if they were able to incorporate dining, entertainment, and a hotel to make it a travel destination in the Southland Region.

Both Chalmers-Currin and President of the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association, Tyron Ward, said the inclusion of a racino in the south suburbs in addition to a casino went somewhat under the radar as the legislation was being pushed through.

“All the focus was on a casino and the racino

sort of went under the radar for the most part until the actual bill came out and we saw that it was rendered to a specific location. Once that came out and they actually named a location, it created a little issue and we are asking that particular piece be reconsidered during the Governor’s veto session,” said Ward.

In asking for a comprehensive feasibility study before approving plans for both a casino and racino in the south suburbs, Chalmers-Currin and Ward are hoping to guarantee that the best interests of south suburban residents are put first.

If precaution isn’t taken in executing the plans for housing both a casino and racino in the region, Ward said that “in the end, the only real winner would be the casino.”

Americans’ support for immigration is at record highs – but the government is out of sync with their views

BY MARIANO SANA

Since its start, the Trump administration has implemented policies to step up immigration enforcement and reduce the number of immigrants admitted into the U.S. Many of these efforts – like the border wall, the travel ban, family separations, DACA termination and detention centers – have received wide media attention. In addition, the White House slashed refugee admissions, ended a number of special programs and changed rules used to adjudicate visa applications.

As a result of these and myriad lesser-known administrative changes, legally immigrating to the U.S. has become a lot harder, as evidenced by the sharp increase in the number of visa denials in 2018.

President Donald Trump heads the most immigration-restrictive administration since the 1920s.

Yet decades of public opinion polls show that Americans have never felt warmer toward immigrants, nor have they ever been more supportive of immigration.

Rolling out the welcome mat Consider the trends recorded by Gallup, a polling firm.

Since the 1960s, Gallup has been asking this question: “In your view, should immigration be kept at its current level, increased, or

Mariano Sana

decreased?” Those who answer “decreased” have historically outnumbered those who say “increased,” with the gap peaking in the mid1990s at an overwhelming 65% who wanted decreased immigration, to 7% who wanted increased immigration.

Since the turn of the century, however, preferences changed significantly. The last measurement, from this year, showed 35% who want immigration to decrease versus 27% who want it to increase, with 37% of respondents supporting keeping current levels.

That means that nearly two-thirds of Americans are at least fine with immigration as is.

The same trend can be seen for refugees. In my own research, I reviewed questions on refugee admissions from opinion polls covering the period 1938 to 2016.

The refugee flows coming into the U.S. in the last 20 years have met substantially less opposition than nearly all their predecessors.

Americans’ evaluation of immigration is largely positive: Two different polls recently reported that three-quarters of Americans consider immigration to be “a good thing.”

Furthermore, Americans tend to like immigrants. In one survey, 73% of respondents were not bothered by encounters with immigrants who cannot speak English, 69% felt sympathetic toward undocumented immigrants and only 27% thought that giving unauthorized immigrants legal status would be a “reward for doing something wrong.”

As for undocumented immigrants, most Americans, from 62% to 81%, consistently support offering them legalization with a path to citizenship.

Americans care about border security, too. While most respondents oppose a border wall – 60%, according to Gallup – they do support hiring more Border Patrol officers, and say that the government should “halt the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S.” A July poll by Politico/Morning Consult reported that 51% support the current wave of ICE raids. However, a closer look reveals that the question specified that the targeted immigrants “have outstanding court www.thechicagocitizen.com

orders to be removed from the U.S.” This wording suggested that the immigrants in question were criminals, increasing support for the raids. As news reports indicate, this is inaccurate. On Aug. 7, for example, ICE raided seven food processing plants in Mississippi, arresting 680 suspected undocumented workers.

Public opinion versus policy The government is out of sync with public opinion. While immigration is at its highest historical level of support, the government is hostile to it. Many questions arise, but I will address only two.

First, since what the American public wants is clear, can Congress and the president reach a compromise where the U.S. grants amnesty to unauthorized immigrants while also implementing measures to effectively control the U.S.–Mexico border?

Such a compromise appears impossible. When Trump suggested trading temporary protection for those brought illegally into the U.S. as children for border wall funding, he was lambasted by his conservative base.

Meanwhile, the increasingly influential progressive wing of the Democratic Party adopts pro-immigration stances that appear to give the message that Democrats are against

enforcement and not concerned with border security. This does not bode well for compromise either.

Second, could being out of sync with public opinion cost Trump his reelection? Not necessarily, since he was already out of sync with the majority, in matters of immigration, when he won in 2016. Trump won despite his positions on immigration, not because of them.

The key to explaining this, I believe, is single-issue voters. Poll data suggest that, on immigration, single-issue voters are much more likely to be Republicans, the restrictionist side, than Democrats, the pro-immigration side. Republicans are several times more likely than Democrats to tell pollsters that immigration is the country’s top problem and that it should be Congress’ top priority.

Most Americans want immigration reform with compromise, but they also care about many other things that also influence their votes. Meanwhile, Trump’s base of single-issue restrictionist hardliners gives the president a bloc of votes unmoved by nonimmigration concerns. That is an advantage for the president, even when overall public opinion disagrees with him.

South Suburban Native Uses Creativity And Music to Overcome Obstacles In Higher Education

BY KATHERINE NEWMAN

Growing up between the south side of Chicago and the south suburbs, Arthur Riley graduated from Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights and went on to attend Southern Illinois University where he received a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and hoped to go on to become an occupational therapist.

Once Riley found his passion for Kinesiology, which is the study of the mechanics of body movements, he knew he was on the right path towards becoming an occupational therapist.

“I knew then that this is where I needed to be and I really needed to focus on trying to get more involved and more in-depth in this field,” said Riley.

Before realizing what career path he wanted to pursue, Riley lacked the motivation to work as hard as he could have in his general education courses.

Riley excelled in his Kinesiology classes but unfortunately, because of the grades he received in his non-major classes, his grade point average alone wasn’t enough to grant him admission to a master’s degree program where he wanted to continue on his path towards becoming an occupational therapist.

“At the time, this was the beginning of my junior year and I had a 2.0 grade point average. I started calling out to oc-

cupational therapy schools and finding that I wouldn’t be able to get into this field with that GPA,” said Riley.

Riley had the idea to return to school and get a master’s degree in business as a way to somewhat bury his low undergraduate grade point average. Still, even with a new master’s degree and a higher GPA, Riley was not able to find an occupational therapy program that would accept him.

“At this point, I was trying to be humble but I already had a Kinesiology degree and I had a master’s in business and I couldn’t figure out how they couldn’t see how badly I wanted to be in this program,” said Riley. “At this point, I knew I had to do something to show that I knew the material and that I was creative which is important in occupational therapy because every patient is different.”

Riley began studying the fundamentals of rap music and enlisted the help of a friend who made beats and produced music to create Kinesiology and occupational therapy themed raps. Riley made a music video to go along with his rap and submitted it to occupational therapy programs across the country to show his comprehension of the material and dedication to the field.

By using his creativity, Riley got the attention of admissions advisors and he

was accepted into an occupational therapy program where he could continue on with his education.

“I’m happy that I went this route because a few positive things came from it. I was able to get a master’s in business which I am able to use every day,” said Riley. “I know I made some mistakes but I don’t have any regrets and there wasn’t anything that I couldn’t rectify.”

Historic International Detainee Chess Tournament Held Detainees in seven countries spanning multiple continents recently participated in a historic chess tournament, according to the Cook County Sheriff ’s Office.

Detainees at Cook County Jail competed against prisoners from Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, England, Italy and Russia. After seven matches involving four players from each country, Russia was declared the winner, having amassed 22.5 wins over the two-day event. Belarus and Italy tied for second place, Armenia came in fourth, the United States came in fifth, Brazil sixth and England seventh.

“We are incredibly thankful for the participation of these six countries to make this event truly historic and incredibly competitive,” said Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart. “Chess instills important skills, from patience to strategic thinking, that help individuals better navigate custody and re-entry to society.”

Fourteen players from Cook County Jail competed in the tournament and were selected based on skill from the more than 100 players who are in the jail’s chess program.

The top player from each country will receive a special chess set from World Chess Champion Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov, who helped organize the competition and served as a catalyst for the creation of the Cook County Jail chess program. Karpov was the world chess champion from 1975 to 1985 and again from 1993 to 1999.

“I would like to thank you, our American friends, for their effort and work in organizing such great competition,” Karpov said in a video statement to the tournament.

“I hope everyone plays interesting games, wins matches and has a good time at the tournament. And, as we always say in chess and other sports, may the best player win.”

The Cook County Jail’s chess program started in 2012 and has hosted numerous chess dignitaries over the years, including Karpov. Prior to this event, players from the jail competed in online tournaments against Russia in 2013 and 2016. In 2017, they won an online tournament against prisoners in Brazil.

Parents Encouraged to Include Emergency Preparedness in Back-to-School Plans

Attorney General Raoul Files Lawsuit Against EPA Affordable Clean Energy Rule

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies are encouraging parents to include emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans. New this academic school year, state law requires schools to hold a minimum of three evacuations drills while students are present to better prepare students and personnel for emergencies. Specifically, within the first 90-days of the

Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 28 states and cities, recently announced a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over its Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule.

The ACE rule replaced the Clean Power Plan, the first-ever nationwide limit on existing fossil-fueled power plants.

“The people of Illinois and around the country cannot afford the impact of unchecked climate change,” Raoul said. “The EPA’s Affordable Clean Energy rule is a huge step backward in the effort to address the devastating effects of climate change.

school year, schools must conduct at least one law enforcement evacuation drill. These drills must be conducted according to the school’s emergency and crisis response plans, protocols, and procedures, according to a press release.

Every home, dorm and apartment should have the supplies needed to endure a storm, power outage or disaster.

You can find a list of emergency kit essentials online at www.ready.illinois.gov.

Food Allergy Patient Organizations Join Forces To Launch A PSA Called, “Spell It Out” End Allergies Together (E.A.T.), a non-profit organization that funds research to help solve the growing food allergy epidemic, along with four food allergy patient organizations, recently launched a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) called, “Spell

It Out.” The PSA promotes the need for basic food allergy education in underserved communities and stars teen actors Mace Coronel (of Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn) and Laya Deleon Hayes (of Disney’s Doc McStuffins) as Spelling Bee judges. www.thechicagocitizen.com

It is a misguided policy that ignores the science of climate change and will prolong the nation’s reliance on polluting, expensive coal power plants, and will reverse progress toward clean, renewable, affordable energy.”

The Illinois Attorney General’s office has worked since 2003 to limit carbon pollution from fossil-fueled power plants. Most recently, the Attorney General’s office joined a coalition of states, counties, and cities in filing comments in opposition to the EPA’s proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan, and filed comments in opposition to the ACE rule as proposed.
