ILLINOIS REVIEW
— IL GOP WARNS NOT TO BELIEVE “MISINFORMATION” CIRCULATING ABOUT IMMIGRATION LAW
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/il-gop-warns-not-to-believe-misinformation-circulating-about-immigration-law.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Republican Party leaders are being told that the bill Governor Rauner signed into law Monday concerning how state and local law enforcement are to deal with non-citizens is really no big deal and not to overreact. They say some media and “other influencers” are not being truthful with party members and conservatives about what the new law does. The misleading sources say the law is to protect those in Illinois that are in America illegally by banning contact between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials unless local law enforcement has been notified of a federal criminal warrant concerning the illegal. In addition, local and state law enforcement are protected from accountability if a person they didn’t detain due to illegal status commits a crime. But that’s not accurate, the ILGOP leadership says. Effingham area’s Brian Milleville says the email was disturbing and confusing to most he’s talked to. When asked for a comment, Milleville told Illinois Review,  “I can only comment right now on what former law enforcement officers both state and local, in-state and out-state have told me. That is that this law does nothing but thwart federal law and endanger the citizens of Illinois in the name of political correctness and political pandering.” “I also know, based on what others have told me in response to SB31,” Milleville said, “that yesterday was the day Rauner officially lost his re-election.” “it’s our job to make sure” the governor succeeds, IL GOP Chairman Tim Schneider (also a Cook County Board Member) and IL GOP County Chairmen Association’s President Randy Pollard (also Rauner’s Downstate Chairman) wrote in and email sent out Monday night:)

 

ILLINOIS BUSINESS IMMIGRATION COALITION
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Those individuals, organizations, companies, and governments that reject the immigration plank in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform crow over Rauner’s signing SB 31. If you got elected or appointed to a government office or a political office in Illinois as a Republican, and if you take any kind of action against the IRP platform, you should resign immediately. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform.

(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We thank Governor Bruce Rauner, SB 31 Chief sponsors Illinois Senate President John J. Cullerton and State Representative Emanuel “Chris” Welch; GOP leaders Christine Radogno, Bob Pritchard; co-sponsors Representatives Elizabeth “Lisa” Hernandez and Theresa Mah, Senators Martin Sandoval, Don Harmon, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, Illinois Sheriffs Association, and many stakeholders for achieving this smart, sensible policy for our state. We congratulate the Campaign for a Welcoming Illinois for their leadership on the Trust Act.)

 

REAL GOP ILLINOIS
— ANTI-AMERICAN: Rauner approves $1M grant for group behind sanctuary state bill
https://realgopillinois.com/2017/08/29/rauner-approves-million-dollar-grant-sanctuary-state-coalition/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s official: thanks to GOVERNOR BRUCE RAUNER, Illinois is now a sanctuary state. Rauner signed SB31 into law Monday morning, surrounded by a coalition of open border groups, proudly undocumented immigrants and Democrat officials. Over the weekend, Rauner also signed two other popular Democrat bills – an automatic voter registration bill and a gender ID bill, which allows transgender people to change the gender on their birth certificates. Rauner’s allies getting the heat for sanctuary state bill  Rauner’s conservative allies can no longer claim the Governor is a conservative – but will they still support him after this betrayal of principle? As more conservative voters learn of Rauner’s betrayal, they are taking to social media to express their outrage and anger. The outrage is quickly spilling over at Rauner’s supporters. Rauner’s allies know the sanctuary state time bomb has been detonated and they’ve been hit with the shrapnel. The wounds are deep. They will not heal. There’s more. Rauner Administration doled out $1 million to immigrant group behind SB31. An investigation by Real GOP Illinois reveals that the Rauner Administration continued to pay a state grant of nearly $1 million dollars to the group who pushed the sanctuary state bill, SB31. The group, ILLINOIS COALITION FOR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE RIGHTS, was approved to receive more than $956,000 in state funds and received more than $500,000 in funds approved by the Rauner Administration despite the budget impasse. Look….Governor approved these amounts in 2015: 8/17/2015 – $148,119.21, 8/11/2015 – $187, 368.70, and 8/11/2017- $134,907.66 . . . The Rauner Administration also approved $684,000 in state grants for a group called MIGRANT EDUCATION, INC. . . . What is Migrant Education, Inc. anyway?  How horrible is Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights? The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is a group that promotes open borders. Why is it receiving any state money when Illinois’ debt backlog exceeds $14 billion. In 2013, the group also spearheaded the bipartisan legislation to allow undocumented immigrants to get Illinois driver’s licenses. With Rauner’s approval of automatic voter legislation, the stage is set for large-scale voter fraud. With a Republican Governor like Rauner, who needs a Democrat?)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: But the Illinois Republican Party sent out a news release Monday defending the TRUST Act, quoting law enforcement officials who supported it. “Don’t believe what you may be hearing – this is not a sanctuary state bill!” Republican Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran was quoted as saying in the release. “The relationships built because of this bill will give police officers and investigators a much better chance at convincing victims and witnesses of violent crime to come forward.” Rauner’s re-election campaign will require him to thread the needle between conservative backers of tougher immigration enforcement, and the more moderate voters of a state that tends to vote Democratic.)
