Illinois Democrats Pass “Name Change” Bill to Protect Illegal Immigrants
Written by David E. Smith
Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly just passed HB 5164 in the Illinois Senate by a vote of 33 to 16. This bill, which passed in the Illinois House back on April 18, 2024 by a vote of 67-39, will make it almost impossible to find illegal immigrants with a criminal history and/or those who have committed crimes while on American soil, for the purpose of deportation.
In response, Illinois State Senator Neil Anderson (R-Aledo), posted the following information on his Facebook page:
Today, I joined my Senate Colleagues for a press conference following the passage of House Bill 5164 – a name change bill – that enables people, including illegal immigrants the ability to change their name merely based on their word without verification documents supporting their identity.
