					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>The only good thing to come out of COVID-19 is the public’s awakening to the fact that government officials will lie to us and the media will help them do it.</p>
<p>We might have suspected it, but it had never been so blatantly obvious, at least not since the Vietnam War or the vanishing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.</p>
<p>If they lied to us six ways from Sunday about a pandemic and reasons to invade other countries, it’s a sure bet they have been lying to us about many other things.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/americans-are-getting-wise-to-the-lefts-chicanery/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Here are two simple truths. First, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed more dangerous people, including known terrorists, to cross our border and be released into the country than ever before. Second, as vice president, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> was appointed as the point person over the border. With the president essentially incapacitated, she is in charge.</p>
<p><strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Republicans must relentlessly connect these two points without distractions. Harris recently <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/13/harris-pledged-close-migrant-detention-centers/">promised</a> to get tough on the border.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/how-trump-and-the-gop-should-call-kamalas-border-bluff/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>President Biden said during July’s heat wave that “extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States.”</p>
<p>Mr. Biden is “wrong by a factor of 25,” wrote Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, in <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. “While extreme heat kills nearly 6,000 Americans each year, cold kills 152,000, of which 12,000 die from extreme cold.”</p>
<p>Mr. Lomborg noted that heat-related deaths have declined for decades in the United States and around the world because prosperity has allowed more people to afford air conditioning and other technology.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/numbers-dont-lie-except-when-democrats-report-them/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">There is good reason for Americans to be concerned about individuals from Afghanistan coming across our southern border.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When <strong>Gen. Michael Kurilla</strong>, commander of U.S. Central Command, testified in the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7 he issued a warning about <strong>ISIS-K</strong>, a terrorist group based in Afghanistan.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;[V]arious groups in the Central Region retain the capability and will to target U.S. interests abroad in under six months with little to no warning,&#8221; Kurilla said in a written statement to the committee.</p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/border-patrol-encountered-932-afghans-at-southwest-border-in-156-days/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>When <strong>George Floyd</strong> died under disputed circumstances in 2020, a spontaneous, rapturous global movement emerged to lionize him and use his death to demand changes to our policing and criminal justice system. The movement succeeded, and it resulted in the worst crime wave in a generation.</p>
<p><strong>Laken Riley</strong>, a young nursing student in Georgia, was brutally murdered last week, allegedly by an illegal alien from Venezuela. Where are the cries of “justice for Laken”?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/joe-bidens-sanctuary-nation-policies-made-laken-rileys-death-possible/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The central lesson of 9/11 is that we had too many dangerous people who should never have been in the country who were able to operate and plot evil acts undetected. We needed to focus on our <em>own</em> border and immigration system rather than saving the world. Yet we did the exact opposite. We squandered two decades refereeing Sunni-Shia civil wars and then bringing in dangerous people from both sides of them.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/the-open-border-reveals-our-backward-homeland-security-mentality-22-years-after-9-11/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When in global history has a sovereign nation’s own government aided an invasion against its own people? At this point, we could build a 2,000-mile border wall up to the heavens, but if we don’t neutralize the malfeasant leadership at the DHS, they will simply bring the invaders through the front door.</p>
<p>Much like gas prices, which spiked to biblical levels and then settled at a very high and unacceptable baseline, the border numbers are still extremely high, but slightly off their peak.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/as-biden-admin-undermines-texas-border-security-states-should-fight-back/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>As family structure declines in America, divorce has skyrocketed. Although divorce is very undesirable, there are times when it’s necessary. At that point, the objective is to forge a separation plan as amicably as possible. After all, divorce is mentioned in the Bible itself. Sure, the wife might still keep the surname and the two divorcing will share custody of the children and inevitably interact with each other regarding both the children and shared assets, but sometimes the most advisable thing to do is to limit the exposure you have in a toxic relationship.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/we-already-have-national-divorce-its-just-one-sided/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Everyone should be deeply troubled by the recent report that the Army is on pace to miss its recruiting goal by dozens of thousands of troops and by the report that followed a few days later, alleging that the Border Patrol is running short of agents in Arizona and Texas. The border is so porous these days that even mayors of sanctuary cities are starting to complain about illegal immigration.</p>
<p>So, what is Congress doing about these crises?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/biden-puts-irs-funding-ahead-of-military-and-border-security/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In one respect, when DHS Secretary <strong>Alejandro Mayorkas</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/RepChipRoy/status/1526272689194913792?s=20&#38;t=5AuOjBBQCq4TRjPIbxKZ-Q">told U.S. Rep. Chip Roy</a> at a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing that the DHS has operational control over the border, he wasn’t lying. His department is now releasing close to 100,000 illegal aliens per month into the interior of the country. Thus, this is actually a controlled and purposeful mass migration, although there are many more gotaways that funnel through our border during the chaos.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/06/dhs-released-nearly-100k-illegal-aliens-in-just-one-month-tip-of-the-invasion-iceberg/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We’re so far beyond media bias that we’ve entered the Twilight Zone, where nothing is as it seems.</p>
<p>Imagine, if you will, a secure border.  You can because the media are blacking out the reality. Hundreds of thousands of illegals are streaming into the United States and are being bused around the country. Despite the extreme severity of the crisis and its implications for America’s future, TV network coverage of the border has plummeted 96 percent since March, according to the <a href="https://www.mrc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Media Research Center</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/living-in-the-liberal-medias-twilight-zone/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David Limbaugh</em></p>
<p>Everyone knows President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> ran as a moderate and is governing as a leftist radical, yet we see little evidence of Democrats, including the liberal media, breaking ranks from him. Why?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve previously written about the lack of Democrats&#8217; dissent from their party&#8217;s undeniable extremism and have always been met with the response that they don&#8217;t dissent because there are no longer any moderate Democrats. Yet when I talk to my Democratic friends, they vehemently deny that they personally are extremists.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/calling-on-moderate-democrats/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>In 2006, a super-majority of Congress passed the Secure Fence Act. It required that no less than 850 miles of double-layer fencing be constructed on our border. But it also codified a sense of purpose and a clearly defined mission for Border Patrol, to which everyone at the time agreed. It required the secretary of homeland security to “take all actions” necessary within 18 months of passage to “achieve and maintain operational control over <em>the entire international land and maritime borders</em> of the United States” (emphasis added).&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/heres-how-far-from-current-law-our-border-debate-has-shifted/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In just the week since <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/09/why-christians-should-support-building-a-wall-part-i/">Part I</a> of this two-part series was published, we’ve learned from <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201193">a new study</a> that the number of foreigners illegally living in the United States is twice as high as the conventionally accepted level of 11.3 million (and could be as high as 29.1 million, as suggested earlier); that Democrats intend to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/28/democrats-seek-to-import-5x-the-number-of-foreign-refugees-to-the-u-s/">pressure President Donald Trump</a> to raise the refugee resettlement number to 110,000 refugees a year (five times the number of foreign refugees taken in 2018); and that the Border Patrol <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/09/20/border-patrol-agents-discover-nearly-200-illegal-immigrants-in-remote-arizona-desert.html">found nearly 200 illegal aliens</a> from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador wandering in the Arizona desert—the third such finding in the last month.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/10/why-christians-should-support-building-a-wall-part-ii/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In 2018, those who are in favor of law and order in America are called bigots who have no compassion. Millions of aliens have crossed the U.S. border illegally because we, as a country, have failed to effectively secure the southern border. We now have a president who is attempting to stop this lawlessness.</p>
<p>Being called a bigot is not the only accusation being launched at those who think that our country’s immigration laws should be enforced.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/07/respecting-the-rule-of-law-is-not-bigotry/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Leftists have a long history of exploiting children to advance the left&#8217;s political agenda.  The most recent case is the left&#8217;s screeching about the fact that when illegals are arrested for trying to sneak into the country, their children are separated from them.</p>
<p>We know that leftists don&#8217;t really care about this because it happened under <strong>Barack Obama</strong>, and they said nothing.  It even happened under <strong>George W. Bush</strong>, and they didn&#8217;t complain about it then, either, even though they hated Bush.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/06/the-big-lie-leftists-care-about-children/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Pete Kasperwoicz</em></p>
<p>The new surge of illegal immigration at the southern border is being driven by the U.S. election and the related debate over whether to ease or tighten immigration laws, according to representatives of border agents and border-state sheriffs.</p>
<p>The last few months have seen a dramatic rise in apprehensions of illegal immigrants, on a scale that rivals 2014, when members of both parties agreed it became a humanitarian crisis. That crisis abated in 2015, but the numbers have spiked again, and federal officials have mostly been silent on why.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/10/u-s-election-driving-new-immigration-crisis/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
