#1 Before there was the Babylon Bee there was Jean Raspail.

#2 Punish the productive and reward the non-productive. You will have more of the latter and fewer of the former.

#3 How about issuing the homeless a Gunny Sack.

Hunter can arrange the Gunny Sack purchase deal and reward the right people.

Then tell the Homeless to fill the sack 3 times a day with trash & street waste. Deliver it to a collection point for a voucher. After 3 vouchers, issue the person a designated sleep space in a vacant, but soon to be owned by the Biden family, warehouse and 3 basic MRE type meals.

Biden can arrange for the DOD to send MRE's expiring in 1 year to Chicago.

The M.I.C. will order the MRE's from CCP, then sell the US DOD replacement MRE's, which Biden will then send 3/4's of to the Ukraine.

Of course the Chicago Sanitation Union
would have a $hit fit and threaten a strike,
and will get more $$$$ for doing even less.

#4 I see they really want to keep property-owning residents in Chicago, don't they. I'm sure all those owners of guns in gun-free Chicago are all outstanding homeowners and members of their respective neighborhoods.

#7 We will own nothing and be happy with our gunny sacks.

#8 Before there was the Babylon Bee there was Jean Raspail.

Hey, he is the guy who wrote The Camp of the Saints!. I read that one summer a few years back. Wikipedia sums it up: A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world.

A short tale well told, but I found the premise rather preposterous. European nations are simply going to lie back and be overrun with 'migrants'? The same people that spent most of the 20th century fighting each other over blood and soil? No way! Apparently, yes way! As I paged through the book, I also watched the story play out in real time on the nightly news. More than a little surreal. As for the preposterosity of it all, it shows you what I know.
