You can’t make this stuff up! Can you see a Republican Legislator who was graciously given a trip to the border to see the destruction and carnage of this great Country, and now that he is back, he’s become silent on the issue? I am beyond sad to say that is exactly what is happening in Springfield, Illinois 95th district.
The National headlines has been pretty much a back and forth between the new Border Czar Thomas Homan and Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker.
Illinois State Rep Mike Coffey Illinois 95th district was at the border in September 2023 with numerous Sheriff’s from across the Nation, along with other legislators. How do you express the utter disgraceful behavior of a State Representative who has seen firsthand the utter destruction and disregard of our border and yet remains silent? How do you reason the Facts that Illinois is a Sanctuary State and could very well mean tremendous danger for all of us?
State Representative Mike Coffey has the opportunity to possibly curtail the pain and suffering of his fellow Americans in the 95th District, as well as Illinoisans across the state and our cowardly Republican Representative remains silent.
Illinois State Representative Mike Coffey could be harnessing the power of BEST PRACTICES from all those sheriffs and legislators he traveled with last year to the border. During this time while Illinois is in the spotlight with a Governor who prefers Illegal aliens over the people who voted him into office is stunning. State Representative Mike Coffey could be taking a play out of our Fearless Leader President Donald Trump’s Play book, Displaying POWER, instead of hiding in the basement of the Capital building along with his good buddy Minority Leader Tony McCombie who went to the Border with (NEVER TRUMPERS Americans for Prosperity) and has remains silent about her trip, And she also urged Illinois House Representatives to vote YES to allow NON-Citizens to become Police Officers and arrest Americans. Again with Republican Representation like this, Who needs enemies? Let me remind everyone, unfortunately a young woman liberal activist in Springfield Illinois 95th district lost her life because her boyfriend Gabriel Calixto Pichardo of Bethalto, Illinois. This Illegal alien “DACA” Deferred Action for Childhood Arrives” can be deported at any time!” stabbed her to death and Emma Shafer from Springfield, Illinois was trying to help him get citizenship and she got murdered by him, brutally stabbed to death for her kindness towards this illegal alien.
Unfortunately, Emma’s death has not made the Headlines like Lakin Reiley, but she died the same Horrible Death! I say its because Dick Durbin wanted to keep this DACA recipient out of the News cycle! "But I digress"
With Donald Trump deporting illegal aliens as the majority of the American public wants him to do, If you were an illegal alien, Where would YOU GO? To a Sanctuary State, the Obvious Choice! We need men and woman who asked us to elect them to office, to step up and fight the fight, for your country and the people who are paying the Bills!
Those legislators who think they can stand down as America is being swindled, you will be the reason Good Illinoisans suffer. In other words, Blood on your hands!
Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
They are starting to, but there needs to be more progress.
Illinois “Republicans” are gutless and useless. Glad I moved to Indiana. R’s here aren’t perfect, but at least they don’t try to lose just because a real conservative is on the ballot.
My daughter, just this past Friday, moved to Kansas to be with her fiancé. LUCKY HER!
The only border visit I can find for Coffey was in Oct. 2023, this article dates from then. Coffey seems to be in his first term in the Illinois State House of Representatives, taking office Jan. 2023.
The Illinois House of Represntatives consists of 78 Dems and 40 Republicans.
How much influence do the minority of Republicans in the Illinois State House have on U.S. Border Policy? I would guess not a lot?
From the story linked below:
“Even though his central Illinois district is far from the border, state Rep. Mike Coffey, R-Springfield, said his constituents’ tax dollars are paying for Illinois’ response, including free health care for non-citizens over 65. Coffey recently traveled to the border and put things into perspective.
“The governor’s complaining about the aid they need, well you have to understand, down there at Eagle Pass, that is a town of 28,000 people and 50,000 illegals invaded in two days,” Coffey told The Center Square. “These are poor counties that don’t have the money, the resources.”
While Pritzker blames Republican leaders in border states for sending migrants “to cause chaos,” Coffey said Illinois should reverse its Pritzker-approved sanctuary state policies of not enforcing federal immigration laws.
Coffey said it’s more than just an immigration crisis; it’s a drug, cartel and human trafficking crisis. He said the border needs to be secured now before anything else.

For that matter with this GOP senate, who needs Dems?
That aptly describes all establishment lackey Republican RINOs at all levels of government. Their days are numbered if they do not change in ways that their base wants them to.
And now as mass Deportations are on the horizon, the illegal aliens will look for cover in Sanctuary States like Illinois. Mike Coffey has the opportunity to draw attention to what he saw, network with his fellow legislators and sheriffs who went also, and bring some best practices to the attention of the people of Illinois who are sitting ducks in a Sanctuary State.
That’s was over a YEAR AGO. e in Illinois need some Republican Leader to stand up and be counted NOW NOVEMBER 2024. Again go ahead and in your mind give Mike Coffey a pass. I don’t. He’s another Useless so called Illinois Republican.
Liked “Their days are numbered...”
Become proactive
What can we the people do to help Trump beat the establishment neocons? Well calling, writing, or emailing DC will do absolutely no good. They just completely ignore these avenues of contact.
1. Those on Twitter and those who can hold their noses and get on Twitter should ask them the hard questions in PUBLIC about why they are fraudulently misrepresenting themselves to the voters and not having the voters best interests at heart.
2. Those in the representatives district or Senate seat need to relentlessly burn up their LOCAL office phones asking the hard questions. They will stop taking calls at some point.
This is when we ask them on Twitter why they shut down their phones and cut off the people. And report this fact to all the local media you can. Put the pressure on them to do their job for the party that elected them and/or will reelect them.
3. Make it very clear that you refuse to donate to them and make it clear why you refuse to donate to them.
4. And the most important. Investigate what companies they themselves are invested in and religiously boycott those companies. And be sure to contact them and let them know you are boycotting these companies and why.
Trump cannot do this by himself. It is up to us to give him a hand and make this happen like we want it to. If done in mass it WILL WORK.
The establishment GOP is going to fight him just as hard as the democrats throughout his whole term is WE don’t let them know we are not going to stand for it.
Excellent ideas!
Truth!
If we go down, they go down, and the Democrats will not care, for it means more for them. After all, there really is no honor among thieves.
