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.”

Is that or is that NOT illegal and a federal offense?

Great, maybe they will all flock to Illinois. Then the stupid lefty taxpayers there can watch their taxes rise even more to support the bloodsuckers.

And those new, more severe punishments for gun crimes? Those are to be selectively used, ie, against a white male. They already have very strict gun laws, and the judges constantly allow gang members convicted of gun crimes to do a month or two and then get early release.

Who in their right mind wants to live in Illinois? Apparently a lot of people agree with me as we see a significant influx of people from Illinois moving into central Wisconsin.

ALL Illinois House & Senate members who vote for this, and if signed by the governor then the governor too, should be arrested.

8 U.S.C. § 1324 (a)(1)(A)(iii) Any person who knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation; shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B)

8 U.S.C. § 1324 (a)(1)(B)(ii) A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;

5 years per violation.

LOCK ‘EM UP.

We live in an age where the illegal immigrant has more rights than the American. The plantation is stronger than I thought. If that were me living in the Democrat Ghetto, I would encourage Baltimore riot like actions. Slavery never really ended, it just took on a different form and expansion.

That seems to be the case in a number of areas in this country.

Los Angeles and San Franppsycho in Cali. Manhattan in New York,

Phili in PA.

Urban areas are just awful.

I used to be a resident of New Orleans, now I live in the country in Florida.

I would never go back. I’d rather die.

Illinois should go back to being a territory until they decide what country they want to be a part of.

Cannot arrest illegals?

And automatically registers them to vote when they apply for a driver's license.

IL Elected Al Franken who is still defending Kathy Griffin

ILLINOIS cannot take credit for AL FRANKEN.

Since 2009, Al Franken has been working hard for Minnesota families in the U.S. Senate.
