Illegal aliens fearful of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids under President Donald Trump are staying inside, reportedly causing foot traffic to drop by 50 percent in a busy Chicago shopping district known as “Mexico of the Midwest.”
Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood dotted with taquerias and Mexican grocery stores “turned into a ghost town” by Monday afternoon, after Trump was sworn into office, according to a report by Bloomberg.
By Tuesday morning, several shops in Little Village, which is also known as the “Mexico of the Midwest,” were closed.
“Business was just down, people were staying home, people were worried about: one the cold, but two, they were fearful of engaging with ICE,” Mike Rodriguez, an alderman for the 22nd ward, which includes Little Village, told Bloomberg.
Rodriguez added that he was “walking the business corridor three days ago on Friday,” and spoke with a street vendor who told him sales were down about 60 percent. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
