CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Rauner facing pressure from Downstate Republicans to veto ‘very reasonable’ immigration bill – Monique Garcia and Kim Geiger (DIERSEN: It certainly seems like Rauner’s advisors are saying to him that he has to dump the “conservative wing” of the Illinois Republican Party and pander to Libertarians to win in 2018. Libertarians want open borders, pot, and prostitution. It certainly seems like his advisors are saying to him that the more that he dumps on conservatives, that is, on Republicans, that is, on Trump supporters, the more votes that he will get in 2018 from voters who are Libertarian, anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors. But the aforesaid are going to vote for the Democrat gubernatorial candidate no matter what Rauner or Trump do.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the governor also has faced intense lobbying in opposition from Republican Party’s conservative wing. . .The issue could figure into Rauner’s 2018 re-election bid, as the governor will need the support of Downstate voters, some of whom want to see immigration policy that cracks down on those who are in the country illegally. State Sen. Kyle McCarter, a Republican from Lebanon outside St. Louis, said that if Rauner does not veto the bill “this could be the last straw” for Downstate voters who have backed the governor. “There was a reason the president won so big in Downstate Illinois, this is one of those issues that we stood with the president on,” McCarter said. “I understand it’s a difficult decision for the governor to make, but he’s going to have to decide if this should be the priority, or meeting the basic needs of the legal citizens of Illinois.” McCarter said he has reached out to the governor’s chief of staff to encourage Rauner to veto the bill. “I think I can speak for downstate Illinois and most Trump supporters, this isn’t the direction that I want the country to go or the state to go,” he said. “We are a country founded by immigrants, but those were legal immigrants, and I think the last thing Illinois wants is to see a sanctuary state, and this moves us in that direction.” There are also concerns that the legislation could put Illinois crosswise with the federal government and in the crosshairs of the Trump administration’s attempted crack down on sanctuary cities. Also critical of the bill is Rep. John Cabello, a Republican of Mexican heritage who is a Rockford police detective and also co-chair of the Illinois Trump Victory fund. Cabello said the measure puts police in the position of choosing whether to uphold federal law or state law. “We can’t cherry pick which laws we are going to enforce, it doesn’t matter if this bill is signed into law or not, law enforcement will do what we have to do,” he said. “I think this bill is symbolic, no law enforcement officer is going to follow this bill.” The bill passed with mostly Democratic support. In the Senate, five Republicans voted for the Trust Act. In the House, only one Republican voted for the bill. Supporters of the legislation argue that it will help build trust between police and the immigrant community, and will give immigrants confidence that they can come forward to help police solve crimes without having to worry about being punished because of their immigration status. Cabello disputed that notion. “If people can’t trust law enforcement without this bill, they are not going to trust law enforcement with this bill,” he said.)
