More American tax dollars being spent on foreigners

Recent lawsuit sheds light on how Chicago migrant funds are being spent

Another example is what Chicago Public Schools spends on a per student basis compared to the results they get (test scores, reading/math levels, etc).
Of course, the CPS is run by the CTU which is all run by democrats.
