					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Richard Harris</em></p>
<p>Our nation is facing an unprecedented crisis of illegal immigration — one that threatens not only our national sovereignty but the foundational principle that is essential for the maintenance of a free society: the rule of law.</p>
<p>The plain truth is that those who cross into our nation unlawfully have violated the law. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, it is a misdemeanor to enter the United States illegally. That some administrations have failed to enforce these laws does not make these individuals legal residents.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/08/the-rule-of-law-and-the-crisis-of-illegal-immigration/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Democrats are circling the wagons, warning that President Trump and fellow Republicans are out for “revenge.” They are counting on the media to misrepresent any attempts at accountability and justice.</p>
<p>People need to be held responsible for the Biden administration’s lawlessness, especially for the bald-faced deception over President Biden’s mental decline. Somebody other than Mr. Biden has been running the country into the ditch for the past four years, and Americans deserve to know who it was.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/democrats-and-the-liberal-medias-grand-deception-merits-justice-not-vengeance/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ acceptance speech.</p>
<p>The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/democrats-new-way-forward-one-lie-at-a-time/" 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>In the same week that a 13-year-old girl was raped by recently released illegal immigrants, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> unilaterally and illegally granted amnesty to more illegal immigrants. Republicans have no better issue, timing, or political opportunity to engage in a government funding fight. Why does U.S. House Speaker <strong>Mike Johnson</strong> (R-LA) refuse to draw a line on September 30 funding? And why is Trump giving him cover to sell us out?</p>
<p>Biden has flooded the border for more than three years.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/why-wont-mike-johnson-draw-the-line-on-illegal-aliens/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It’s March, and you know what that means — lots of change and celebration in the air.</p>
<p>Daylight saving time begins March 10. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17. On that day, everyone’s Irish — even the English among us. The spring equinox is March 20. And there’s March madness.</p>
<p>I’m not talking about watching 68 colleges battle it out for the NCAA basketball titles. Or even the advent of baseball spring training, with opening day (March 28) only weeks away.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/03/march-madness-and-its-antidote/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></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>How bad is the situation at the Southwest border?</p>
<p>I attended a hearing Thursday of the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border and Foreign Affairs on the consequences of the current &#8220;catch and release&#8221; policies to observe how members of both parties address an issue that troubles American voters.</p>
<p>The situation at the border is so downright scary, <strong>Jessica Vaughan</strong> of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies testified, that Mexican cartels now are making more money from human trafficking than drug trafficking.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/there-is-chaos-at-the-border-and-finger-pointing-in-congress/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>If you don’t know what the after party is, you should, because it could determine who wins the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and the presidency this year.</p>
<p>Indeed, this movement is so insidious and potentially so powerful that it could determine the direction of the United States for decades to come. If you care about issues such as border security, confiscatory taxes, sex trafficking, how we educate our children, religious liberty, the right to bear arms, private property, energy independence, women’s right to have their own athletic competitions, drag queens grooming first graders in our public schools, and whether or not you can buy a gas stove, you should care about the after party.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/democrats-fund-crusade-targeting-churches/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>You half expect to see the vintage TV show host emerge from a misty backdrop to say, “What you’re seeing is a replica of reality, not reality itself.

<p>The next time you’re fondled at the airport by a TSA agent, look around. You may very well see foreign nationals ushered through security without proper documentation and disregarding every TSA rule. While <strong>Joe Biden</strong> pretends that millions of invaders from 150 countries are a natural occurrence, his administration is using taxpayer-funded nongovernmental organizations to disperse tens of thousands of them throughout the country.</p>
<p>This cannot be allowed to continue. Why won’t Republicans pledge to put an end to it by refusing to fund one more penny of this scheme with the budget deadline looming?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/foreign-invaders-ride-the-taxpayer-express/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On December 18th, officials at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a record number of foreign nationals at the southern border, with over 12,600 apprehensions in a single day. Those apprehended are often processed and released — which allows &#8220;undocumented&#8221; immigrants to remain in the U.S. while awaiting immigration proceedings. CBP agents are mandated, by <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/31/cbp-chief-biden-plan-will-only-delay-migrant-surge-at-mexican-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a>, not to hold illegal aliens for more than 72 hours. We are now learning that Immigration and Customs Enforcement asylum hearings are being <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/migrants-check-date-delays-1854332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled eight years from now</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/hordes-of-illegal-immigrants-continue-surge-at-southern-border/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Left-wing lunacy should be Republicans’ best friend. Take California — please.</p>
<p>In Democratic-run Los Angeles, a fire from a homeless encampment got out of hand and caused enormous damage to an Interstate 10 overpass, closing the major freeway. It will be weeks before it can reopen to the roughly 300,000 commuters who use it daily.</p>
<p>In Democratic-run San Francisco, officials cleaned up just enough homeless tents, used needles, human excrement and garbage to give visiting Chinese leader <strong>Xi Jinping</strong> a Potemkin village experience during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit and his visit with President <strong>Joe Biden</strong>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/republicans-must-make-democrats-own-their-radical-politics/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We were told in 2020 that our life, liberty, and property — up to and including our right to breathe freely — were subservient to the government’s capricious invocation of public health needs. As such, under the guise of stopping a virus, state governments were able to mask children for two years, shut down businesses and churches, and even place travel bans on Americans from other states.</p>
<p>Now officials want to use these emergency powers for global warming and, as we saw in <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/tag/new-mexico-gun-ban">New Mexico last week</a>, for gun control.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/09/the-public-health-emergency-the-left-wont-declare/" 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>By almost any measure, Mr. Biden is a proven fraud and a pathological liar of the highest order.</p>

<p>It’s unparalleled in human history. No other sovereign nation has ever voluntarily invited millions upon millions of invaders, primarily young men, to line up at the border and march into the country. With over 140,000 estimated illegal aliens just in the past two weeks (which would be an annual flow of 3.7 million) – even before the official rescission of Title 42 on Thursday – we are out of time to stop this invasion through traditional means.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/gop-governors-must-enforce-border-laws/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the space of a week, we saw three children and three adults executed at a Christian school in Nashville, the indictment of former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, and the advent of the national “Transgender Day of Visibility.”</p>
<p>We also saw the current White House occupant awkwardly joking at length about his love of ice cream before addressing the Nashville massacre. The word “inappropriate” is wildly inadequate. Within moments, he segued into a gun control rant.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/intimidation-101-from-trump-to-transgender-mania-leftists-war-on-america-is-intensifying/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Lots of things today don’t pass the straight face test.</p>
<p>President <strong>Joe Biden</strong> says the main danger to “democracy” is the “semi-fascist” half of the country that doesn’t vote Democrat. He continues to insist that “white supremacists” pose more of a security threat than <a href="chrome-extension://oknpjjbmpnndlpmnhmekjpocelpnlfdi/topics/china/">China</a>, Russia, Iran and the homegrown goons attacking churches and crisis pregnancy centers.</p>
<p>On Thursday, standing in front of two U.S. Marines, he said, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/09/2-informed-voters-and-honest-elections-are-lefts-worst-nightmare/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Wednesday, Aug. 10, <strong>Merrick Garland</strong>, the United States Attorney General, confidently strutted to the national podium and asserted, “No person is above the law in this country. I can’t say it any more clearly than that.” He then went further: “There is nothing … which prevents us from investigating anyone — anyone — who’s criminally responsible …”</p>
<p>As principled as that all sounds, one can’t help but ask Mr. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/why-are-no-democrats-prosecuted-by-garlands-doj/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>

<p>On Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2019, U.S. House Speaker <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nancy-pelosi/">Nancy Pelosi</a> announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> for allegedly asking the Ukrainian president to investigate <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/joe-biden/">Joe Biden</a>. U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responded: “Facts be damned. Democrats are insisting this is their moment to impeach President <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/donald-trump/">Trump</a>. Speaker <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/nancy-pelosi/">Pelosi</a>’s decree changes nothing.”</p>
<p>And, thus, without even intending it, Mr. McCarthy just stumbled into what will be the campaign slogan for the Democratic Party from now until November 2020.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/denial-of-reality-could-become-a-democratic-campaign-slogan/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>“Three dead in national park system accidents as shutdown wears on,” screamed a six-column headline in the <em>Washington Post</em> on January 5.</p>
<p>“The deaths follow a decision by Trump administration officials to leave the scenic — but sometimes deadly — parks open even as the Interior Department has halted most of its operations,” the article said.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/01/a-crisis-when-it-suits-their-purpose/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Jon Schweppe</em></p>
<p>If you’ve been paying attention to the rhetoric coming from elected Democrats and progressive activists in recent weeks, you’ve probably noticed a calculated effort to frame issues in the vein of morality.</p>
<p>U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2019/jan/04/immoral-nancy-pelosi-on-trumps-border-wall-video">declared</a> to reporters that building a border wall would be an “immorality.” Abortion activist <strong>Amelia Bonow</strong> <a href="https://www.lifenews.com/2018/12/31/abortion-activist-tells-children-abortion-is-all-part-of-gods-plan/">told</a> children in a viral video that aborting her baby was “part of God’s plan.” Even social media superstar <strong>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</strong> — who apparently works part-time as a Member of Congress — clumsily <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/01/06/ocasio-cortez_people_being_more_concerned_about_me_being_factually_correct_than_morally_right.html">invoked</a> morality to excuse her aversion to the truth, telling <strong>Anderson Cooper</strong> that it’s more important to be “morally right” than factually accurate.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/01/why-democrats-new-morality-messaging-will-fail/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Peter Heck</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I know that abortion apologists have come to believe it is their strongest counterpoint to say, “You are pro-birth, not pro-life,” but it is not.  At all.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The bizarre statement is utterly false, of course, given the overwhelming numbers of Christian and pro-life adoption agencies, care centers, churches, missions, and foster homes that nurture hurting and abandoned children.  But to demonstrate how morally repugnant of an argument this is for the left, suppose for a second that it was a true statement.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/youre-pro-birth-not-pro-life-is-just-a-terrible-argument/" 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>What is it going to take for Americans to overthrow the inertia of their political masters in Washington with regard to keeping illegal aliens out of the country? Apparently, more than the cold-blooded murder of its citizens by foreign trespassers.</p>

<p>Republicans are <a href="https://www.conservativereview.com/news/congressional-republicans-are-giving-voters-no-reason-to-turn-out/">bleeding their traditional suburban voters</a> at a quick pace. They are without a narrative and nearly out of time to make a difference for this election. When they return from summer recess, they have one final opportunity to either make a big play on the top issue on voter’s minds. Or they could simply monkey it up by running out the clock while they are losing.</p>
<p>According to <a class="external" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-immigration/immigration-top-issue-for-u-s-voters-economy-a-close-second-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKBN1JV31K" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent polls</a>, immigration is the top concern of voters.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/25-no-brainer-immigration-plans-to-make-america-safer-and-win-the-election/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It&#8217;s quite simple: Some political relatives are more equal than others.</p>
<p>Agenda-driven journalists love to exploit familial dysfunction when a prominent politician is conservative and his or her kinfolk espouse liberal views. When a vengeful offspring, sibling, cousin or distant relation wants to wreak havoc, instant fame and adoration are just a tweet or call away. The media schadenfreude over such bloody bloodline battles is thicker than California wildfire smoke.</p>
<p>By contrast, relatives who openly challenge powerful Democrats are dismissed as gadflies and publicity hounds.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/the-theory-of-political-relative-relativity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Can a group of foreign nationals rush our borders, claim to be unaccompanied minors or have a credible fear of persecution, and get in – while there is nothing an American president can do to protect America’s sovereignty, security, culture, schools, and social programs from the invasion? Does the president need permission from the courts or even a new act of Congress to just say no?</p>
<p>The political class would have you believe that, but it is simply not true.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/04/how-trump-can-protect-the-border-without-congress/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
