Illinois House Blocks Arrest Of Illegal Immigrants, Makes Voter Registration Automatic
The Daily Caller ^ | 5/30/2017 | Anders Hagstrom

Posted on 05/31/2017 9:12:35 AM PDT by stars & stripes forever

The Democrat-controlled Illinois House approved protections for illegal immigrants, made voter registration automatic for state residents, and passed more severe punishments for gun crimes Tuesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Senate President and Democrat John Cullerton, who supported the immigration bill in the Senate, said it will “provide stability” for Illinois’ estimated half-million illegal immigrants by preventing state and local law enforcement from arresting them. Democratic legislators admit the measure is a direct response to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which they say has caused Illinois communities to “live in fear.”

How the heck can anybody pass a law forbidding law enforcement from enforcing the law?

The Democrat Party is a clear and present danger to the United States of America.

The Democrat Party sued Jan Brewer in Arizona, making PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE argument.

Cut off all federal funding to the state until they comply. Every penny. Cut off voting for federal offices. Remove their reps from federal office.

Supremacy clause anybody?

Will be interesting to see if the 9th will botch this one up too, but we have examples and ample case law just from Arizona during Jan Brewer’s governorship.

Okay.
NOW it is time to deploy the armed forces, and arrest the entire elected government of Illinois, and revoke its status as a state, and appoint a Territorial Governor.

Illinois needs to be cut off from federal funds until they decide they want to be part of the USA.

Illinois (my state) is totally controlled by Democrats and has been for decades. Chicago Democrats run Illinois. Illinois SHOULD lose every penny of Federal funds. Illinois is broke and is a disgrace to the rest of the country. Before you ask why I haven’t moved, my Grandkids are here and as long as they are I will be here too.

Democrat bosses are all for automatic registration as it expands the universe of fraudulent ballots they can cast. They don’t want the voters to actually show up to vote, however, unless they can guarantee they’ll vote Dem. They prefer that voters don’t show up so that Democrat officials can cast those ghost ballots themselves. The unmotivated but registered person is the ideal Democrat as far as the party bosses are concerned.

What little peon Democrats don’t realize is that by supporting their party bosses on this point, all they are doing is ceding their own power away to some crooks who, once they have these guaranteed ghost ballots, will be less dependent on real voters to stay in office.

Before you ask why I haven’t moved, no one is moving into Illinois to buy our house.

So Illinois has effectively sent out an invitation to all 7 Billion people on the Planet to come to America and live off the American Tax Payer in exchange for their Democrat votes and our Government has no response to this?

Just for the record:

ALL illegal aliens must be deported to their country of origin.

Now.

Thanks for listening.

They will cast your vote for you as well. Count on it. And then count it four more times.

So when does the DoJ or Judicial Watch or the RNC or any other entity on the right side of this take Illinois to court?

Remove electoral votes from states that support illegal aliens and/or won’t allow voter ID. Remove federal funds from sanctuary cities. Purge ALL voter rolls and begin re-registration. Eliminate motor voter laws. Enough is enough.
