Illinois Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE

In a controversial move, Illinois Democrats are pushing forward a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to change their names legally to help them evade detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposal, which undermines the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, further highlights Illinois’ troubling trend of prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants over the safety and security of American citizens. While supporters argue the move is about protecting immigrants from deportation, critics see it as a blatant attack on the rule of law and an irresponsible effort to shield individuals who have entered the country illegally from accountability.

[[and lose their assets and pensions to the victims
of the illegals.]]

Excellent idea! Make it very very expensive to coddle criminals and ignore their victims!

I recommend that the the Leftists running Illinois take a tour of Joliet before going too far with this plan.

Also an excellent idea! Maybe even $25,000- heck, $100,000- sure it will be expensive to pay informants, BUT, when the illegals are mostly gone, our nation will NOT be spending over $1 TRILLION DOLLARS every single year on illegals when all the expenses both direct and indirect are added up, and we will save that amount every single year thereafter, so aying informants a large amount will be expensive in the short run, but will pay off massively by getting rid of the massive expenses illegals cost us each year

YANK the federal highway funds of ANY STATE aiding and abetting the illegal acts.

It's actually only been since Trump was reelected that the fog of demoralization has lifted sufficiently such that I see a viable and hopeful path forward. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

The more that comes out about how weaponized the federal government has become against our individualism as Americans the more resentful I feel against not only the Democrats but also those in the media who prop them up, those who feel justified in cheating to try keeping them in office, and those like Soros who have disdain for American individualism and care only about their own egotistical world view.

“Ha...what a joke! AS IF names were EVEN taken when they crossed. Don’t make me laugh”

They have PLENTY of names, and fingerprints, and photos of Illegals (assuming they didn’t wipe the databases), probably over 90 percent. For starters, the visa overstays, then those arrested in the US, then the ‘refugees’ that enter through checkpoints and were released by Biden.

I also suspect that the relative handful that actually cross illegally and make it to the interior - many of them likely have records in the US, or they would take the easy ‘refugee’ route.

IMO, facilitating a name change for an illegal to evade capture IS substantively helping them evade detection and capture. I think it’s a federal felony.

According to 8 USC 1324, the penalties for harboring an illegal alien that kills any person include the DEATH PENALTY!

The LAW MUST BE ENFORCED!

According to the demonRATs, “Nobody is above the Law.”

Right?!

Prosecute anyone who aids and abets the crime of illegal entry or presence in the USA.
