CHICAGO: The United States government is shut down due to the ‘NO’ votes of Illinois 8th District Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy, Senator Dick Durbin, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats who are more interested in establishing citizenship for illegal immigrants than making sure our military, and needy children, and others who rely on government funding are properly taken care of, according to Vandana Jhingan, a candidate for the US Congress 8th Dist. Illinois
Congressman Krishnamurthy, rather than voting for a continuing resolution to keep the government open, or, better yet, negotiating a long-term plan that reduces spending and balances the budget, was on Fox News grandstanding and promoting an open borders style immigration policy.
Vandana Jhingan said, “The Congressman has to put our American citizens, soldiers and children ahead of illegal immigrants. And he needs to support immigration policies that respect the rule of law, solve skilled immigration problem, limit chain migration, end the unfair lottery system, and prioritizes the 200,000 legal dreamers waiting in line first while securing our borders.”
She observed that while she was “equally sympathetic to the plight of the DACA kids and young adults, shutting down the Government does not help these kids. Congress has until March 5 to solve the DACA issue. Why shutting down now? People are tired of political talk, they want action and real solutions to real problems. That’s what I will provide if elected to Congress.”
Jhingan, a front ranking Indian American community activist, is often described as Chicago Jhansi Ki Ranni as she is fighting for just causes, is a resident of Schaumburg and a member of the Schaumburg Board of Health.
