They are going to have to find immediate work, immediate housing, immediately get their kids into school and that probably will change the demographics of the region.
They are two Illinois companies who want to do business and expand, ... but they are having roadblocks.
What's your name, sweetie? You look so pretty, ... You made this heart and you decided to give it to Bill Clinton, didn't you?

What remains is the need to review claims that might have been denied, particularly in Illinois, so that we can close that imbalance,
