<p>Lawlessness comes in many forms.</p>
<p>It’s millions of aliens crossing the U.S. border illegally. It is murders, rapes and drug smuggling by ruthless gangs that are exploiting a White House that is intent on creating a new electorate regardless of the cost to Americans.</p>
<p>It’s misusing the law ruthlessly against political opponents, such as a former president of the United States and his former aides.</p>
<p>It is turning security agencies like the FBI, the CIA and the National Security Agency into partisan, one-party enforcers and pressuring media and social media to suppress dissent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/04/democrats-lawlessness-knows-no-bounds/" 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>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>As you watch hundreds of thousands of military-age men storming the southern U.S. border, your eyes should be trained more on our cities than on the border itself. That is where all these criminal and belligerent elements are settling — and where they are changing our culture, society, and security for the worse.</p>
<p>What we are witnessing is the counterintuitive immorality of the open-border left on display in real time, as we allow our cities to become the very hellholes from which leftists supposedly want to save migrants.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/what-the-border-invasion-is-doing-to-americas-cities/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Government officials go before U.S. Senate Committees all the time to testify about various things. When they do so, they are expected to answer the questions posed to them by our elected officials – that is the purpose of such inquiries. But lately, we have increasingly seen Democrats stonewall, obfuscate, and demonstrate an outright inability to answer basic questions about their respective jobs. A prime example of this is when U.S. Senator <strong>Ted Cruz</strong> (R-Texas) recently questioned the Secretary of Homeland Security, <strong>Alejandro Mayorkas</strong>, about the disaster that is the United States&#8217; southern border.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/04/u-s-senator-cruz-grills-secretary-mayorkas-on-his-failure-to-protect-america/" 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>Have you ever boarded an airliner during a rainstorm and then, minutes later, broken through the clouds to bright sunshine? It can be quite startling. People blink like moles emerging from their burrow.</p>
<p>The sun has been there all along, of course, but when we&#8217;re unable to see it from below we can forget how bright it can be.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how believers view this world under God. No matter how bad things get, there is a Creator God who loves us and inspires hope in this life and the next.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/12/darkness-before-the-dawn/" 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>

<p>Is there anything the left won&#8217;t blame on their fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don&#8217;t bet on it. Their latest dodge is blaming the border crisis, which they created, on the climate crisis, which they invented.</p>
<p>A Politico article is headlined, &#8220;<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/07/19/guatemala-immigration-climate-change-499281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It&#8217;s Not a Border Crisis. It&#8217;s a Climate Crisis</a>.&#8221; That&#8217;s a convenient twofer. Never let an opportunity to blame a crisis on climate change go to waste. Well played.</p>
<p>But to the left, I guess the border catastrophe isn&#8217;t a crisis.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/07/bidens-baleful-border-betrayal/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<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>
