Residents of Illinois’ 16th congressional district have a message for Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, stop supporting amnesty and work to secure the border.
That was the overwhelming thought behind Saturday’s immigration town hall meeting at the Ottawa American Legion hall.
Before the start of the August recess Kinzinger was one of eleven GOP lawmakers to vote against a bill put forth by Tennessee congresswoman Marsha Blackburn and Texas Senator Ted Cruz that seeks to block President Obama from expanding his deferred deportation program, known as DACA, or from instituting any additional amnesty via executive order. That bill along with another to fund increased border security passed the House at the end of July, at present Senate majority leader Harry Reid has yet to call back the Senate to consider either of those bills.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger Rep. Adam Kinzinger
Kinzinger’s spokesman told Illinois Review after the vote that the congressman voted against the anti-DACA bill because it would only make the immigration situation more confusing and inefficient.
With Illinois Democrat congressman Lois Gutierrez saying that he expects President Obama to issue a new executive amnesty order within the next few weeks granting work or legal status to at least 5 million illegal immigrants the people of Kinzinger’s district are upset at his lack of leadership on the issue.
From mandating universal compliance with E-verify to increasing the fines on employers who hire illegals, to fixing the anchor baby issue, those in attendance want Washington to take measures to stop the influx of illegal immigrants along the southern border.

Amen!!!!
Looks like this Rove Rino is in trouble.
Good riddance to this RINO hack, sooner or later.
I HOPE Kinzinger is listening! I hear him often with Roe Conn and he seems smart and conservative ... Then he does things like this that perplex me. I know he has to do a lot of middle-of-the-roading simply because he represents Illinois, but this is a guy who needs to take a STAND, and stick with it!
and to think I sent this A-hole a donation a few years back when he first ran. He sent be a donation envelope...I sent it back and gave him an earful!
This guy has just turned into a smarmy creep!
Obviously what Rep. Kinzinger needs to do is stop holding these town hall meetings. We’ll tell him what he needs to do, no need to involve his constituents in the decision-making process.

What’s even more sad, is this guy is an Air Force Vet.
