    A band of newly arrived migrants who may be part of a bigger crime ring are allegedly behind a string of retail thefts and burglaries plaguing a Chicago suburb, police said.

    In all, 47 migrants have been arrested since October in the village of Oak Brook, about 20 miles west of the Second City, Chief of Police Brian Strockis told Fox News, adding many of the incidents have targeted a Macy’s in the local mall.

    Oakbrook is used to be a nice mall. The village itself is very upscale

    63% white
    30 % Asian (lots of docs live in Oakbrook)
    Median household income: $158K

    The other thing about Oakbrook is that it's not in Cook County. It's in DuPage County. The prosecutors in DuPage are a bit less forgiving.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              "Crowds...""

              No. A rabble or mob. Your choice.

              But not a crowd.

                It popped up with the whole Ilhan Omar trip to Somalia and talking about the war with Ethiopia.

                  It’s also one of only two countries in the world that requires all its citizens to file annual income tax returns regardless of their place of residency.
