The women emerged from the rooms without the merchandise visible on their strollers and left the store, where they were stopped by security and found with $297 of unpaid merchandise, police said.

Gee, I'm so glad we have an "open door" policy for immigrants from Palestine. If convicted, can we send these alleged criminals back, along with the two who were charged with stealing $10K from Sandburg?
Oh, I forgot. Obama has decided only to deport VIOLENT felons. Thievery and fraud in immigrants doesn't seem to bother him.
BTW, this was probably not just something that these two figured out to do on their own. The methods they use seem to be part of some orgainized theft ring in our community.
I won't even go into that community's involvement in the Granat murders.
It's time mayors Jerry Bennet and Heileman, as well as the vast majority of successful, honest Palestinian immigrants in the Bridgeview Mosque community, took some action to investigate, isolate, and perhaps ostracize this element that seems to be growing in Palos Hills, Worth and Oak Lawn.
This was done successfully about a decade and a half ago when Stagg HS was a battleground for Arabic/ HIspanic gangs that moved from Chicago to our area.
Perhaps it's time to "clean house" of this element again, if local leadership has the political GUTS!

You forgot to mention the two people who sounded quite white, including the drunk drive who could have killed youl

I'm pretty sure changing immigration policy won't quell retail thefts.

Ben, it won't end them, but it sure would cut down on them. I haven't been able to find the statistics in Illinois, but I know that in California about 40% of Federally incarcerated criminals are illegal immigrants. I don't think they keep records about legal immigrant felons.
You can't deny that crimes commited by immigrants, especially illegals, are not VERY disproportionately high. Just sit in the courthouse at 26th and California sometime if you don't believe it.
Many good people immigrate here and prove themselves assets to our communities. The problem is the substantial numbers who come here to break the law and hurt us and the fact that our immigration policy and enforcement neither keeps them out nor deports them when they do crimes.
By the way, I suspect that the "Kryzsztof Pomorski, 26, of the 13600 block of Meath Circle in Homer Glen" had his origin in some nation other than the US. It's not a matter of skin color. It's a matter of failed Federal immigration policy that puts "rights" of foreigners to enjoy our country ahead of citizens safety and property rights that's putting us at risk.

Whether it would cut them down or not, it sounds as though you assume these people are illegal immigrants because they don't have Anglo-sounding names.
