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.”

Yes, the House Version passed UNANIMOUSLY THIS AFTERNOON!!!

I heard the supposedly “good” amendments made it palatable for the republicans; but nothing in bill or amendments about checking citizenship for voting in presidential elections.

Also, no one could tell me if illegals can vote in state or local elections.

Hoppin MAD!!!

Interesting how first a number of states allowed for motor voter registration where a person could choose to register to vote at DMV and perhaps other state agencies...

Incremental creep...now motor voter jumps to being AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED...

This UNANIMOUSLY PASSED in the Illinois House and in the Senate 6 out of 22 GOP Senators voted for it :(

Illinois is GOING DOWN financially and it's NOT going to be pretty.

They officially have the worst credit rating in the nation and own billions and billions in unpaid bills.

They have NOT had a budget in well over 700 days and frankly the $hit is beginning to hit the fan.

It's going to be a very bad 2017 summer for the "land of Lincoln."

Rauner vetoed this last year, I can’t imagine why he apparently is gonna sign it this time.

May as well cut his own **** off as add a bajillion more democrats to the rolls.

Rauner will probably sign that bill because he thinks that will help him get more votes from independent and moderate voters.

It not only won’t get him more votes from the left, it will cost him big time with those that voted for him in 2014.

Whom do you support for governor? William Kelly, a conservative Republican, is running. He says that the state and city governments should help get rid of illegal aliens, and he’s pro-life.

I agree with you. His signing that bill will cause him to lose votes, in the primary.

He has my vote!!!

However, in meantime, need to pressure Rauner to not vote for this traitorous bill!!! IF this gets signed, it will be harder than ever to get a true conservative elected.

Any more updates on this?

Anyone know why in the world ALL REPUBLICAN Congressmen in IL House voted for this yesterday??? I called and was told my “rep” said “it was a ‘good” bill”

Anyone know why in the world a REPUBLICAN governor (even a RINO) would sign this?!?!

As I recall only 1 GOP State Senator voted against in-state tuition for “Dreamers”.

Last year when this passed it was also overwhelming, beyond veto override level in the House and 50-7 in the Senate but Rauner flexed some muscle and got the House to fail to override.

And I guess they fixed whatever minor problems Rauner had with it. 115-0 in the House, damn.

“Republican state Rep. Mike Fortner of West Chicago says this bill addresses all parties’ concerns.”

Uh, it doesn’t address mine, Mike.

Kelley’s campaign announcement was bizarre

http://www.journal-republican.com/news/politics-and-government/2017-03-30/rauner-comments-prompt-kelly-run-governor.html

It sounds like he’s criticizing Rauner for not compromising with democrats, WTF?
