On Thursday, June 12th, during a U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing titled “A Hearing with Sanctuary State Governors,” Governor JB Pritzker was confronted about Illinois’ sanctuary policies and their perceived impact on public safety and state resources.
U.S. Representatives Mary Miller (R-Quincy) and Darin LaHood (R-Peoria) grilled Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on the devastating consequences of his sanctuary policies and his failure to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
Miller highlighted the tragic murders committed by illegal aliens in Illinois who should never have been allowed into America, emphasizing that these policies are putting American lives at risk:
Illegal aliens in our state have overwhelmed local communities, causing untold pain and suffering, while costing Illinois taxpayers billions.

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg
Back in 2021, Governor Pritzker signed HB121, SB667, SB1596, and SB2665 into law. All four of these pieces of legislation enshrined into law Illinois’ stance on immigration as being one of the most welcoming in the entire nation.
The new laws strengthen the TRUST Act and make Illinois the second state in the nation to require local officials to end partnerships with ICE, address hate crimes against immigrant communities, expand workplace protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, and create the Illinois Immigration Impact Task Force to ensure state programs and policies best serve immigrant residents.

This week, the White House celebrates the first 100 days of Donald Trump‘s second term as POTUS by focusing on the progress that has been made securing the border. In fact, the lawn outside the White House was lined with posters of 100 of the “worst illegal immigrant criminals” arrested under the new administration, including rapists, murderers, and criminals who attacked children.
At the Monday morning press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was joined by Border Czar Tom Homan to report on the significant progress that has been made during this time period.… Continue Reading

For the past couple of weeks, aside from bashing President Trump over tariffs, the media have been fixated on an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland, is reputedly a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S. government-designated foreign terrorist organization. He was summarily shipped off to his home country. Cue the outrage.
The Democratic Party and the media, in lockstep, have made this the case of the century.… Continue Reading

When Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 78 that the U.S. Supreme Court would wield “neither force nor will” over politics, he never envisioned the judiciary having the final say on every political decision in the country. Now imagine his reaction if he were told during the American Revolution that, in the future, a single lower-court judge could unilaterally grant citizenship to illegal immigrants’ children, override the will of elected branches, and even force the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to maintain information about transgenderism on its website.… Continue Reading

Written by Daniel Horowitz
Should we allow people in the United States to say hateful things? Absolutely — that is the essence of America. We cannot start down the slippery slope of punishing people for their beliefs, as we saw under the Biden administration with the treatment of January 6 defendants.
Does that mean we should admit foreigners who hold pro-terrorist beliefs and spread them on social media? Absolutely not! Freedom of speech is a right, but no foreigner has an affirmative right to immigrate.… Continue Reading

In a Jan. 26 interview on CBS “Face the Nation,” left-wing program host Margaret Brennan asks Vice President JD Vance, “Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?”
The Vice President quickly points out that protecting America and Americans, including migrants here legally, is the Trump Administration number one priority. And when Brennan highlighted the concerns of the U.S.… Continue Reading

Do we, as a society, hold the inviolable right to control our sovereignty and, through our elected representatives, prevent individuals from asserting immigration and citizenship rights against our will? Or do foreign nationals and governments possess the authority to assert jurisdiction in our country, obtaining citizenship and its accompanying rights — without recourse for our citizens to oppose it, even prospectively? Those are the key questions before us as we navigate our journey as a nation-state.… Continue Reading

The day after Donald J. Trump took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, left-wing federal lawmakers gathered for a press conference to decry the new direction of the nation. According to their own website, the “Congressional Progressive Caucus is comprised of nearly 100 progressive members from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate…” and exist to “fight economic and social inequality, and advance civil liberties.”… Continue Reading

President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take over [today], relieving the nation of the Biden administration’s train wreck.
Even many liberals are breathing a sigh of relief. President Biden and his fellow Democrats have done incredible damage to their party. They have turned it into a clown car full of Marxists, sexual radicals and outright lunatics who are good only at ruining entire cities and states. For reference, see San Francisco’s homeless camps, the Los Angeles fires and the Golden State of California under the rule of Gov.… Continue Reading
