Illinois GOP Senate nominee Don Tracy says Operation Midway Blitz was chaotic only because Chicago wasn't "cooperative." "Immigration interior enforcement has actually gone pretty well in other places ... because the local authorities cooperated, just like they used to in Chicago."

Juliana Stratton on education: "My grandmother had an eighth grade education. My grandfather had a sixth grade education. And because they focused on education with their children, now their granddaughter is running to represent the state of Illinois in the United States Senate."

My grandfather had a sixth grade education, went to work at 12 circa 1914 after his hod carrier dad died at 37, drove a cab, longshoremen then NYPD, homicide detective then Detective Lieutenant. Even had a B movie made about him. 3 kids went to grad school. My aunts (b 1941) were programmers. .
