That won’t work for Senator Government. It’s not about nagging details like “illegal”, “gangbanger”, “felon”, “fraud”, etc.
Anything you can push into dependence on government cheese is a reelection vote. A bribe of cigarettes, cash, amnesty, or been-uh-fits is a small cost to pay if it gets/keeps you in office, where you can legislate and tax more people trying to earn a living into dependence on your handouts.
A nice little circular pattern...
Ci-Cago ize the nation!
