Trump’s Jobs Boom Skips Illinois—Thanks to Pritzker’s Tax Hikes

CHICAGO – The Trump administration isn't sitting on its hands after states like Illinois and California passed state measures that restrict local law enforcement from working with immigration law authorities. 

After eight years of virtually no immigration enforcement including placing entire classes of illegal aliens off-limits to enforcement, the Administration has returned to policies that existed before President Obama decimated them, says the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

These moderate levels of enforcement have resulted in shock, horror, hysteria, petulance, and consternation, on the part of some state and local politicians who are responding by implementing ever more radical sanctuary policies, just like laws Illinois' Governor Bruce Rauner and California's Governor Jerry Brown signed late last week.

Congress could respond to Illinois' and California's defiance of federal law by cutting off targeted funding to these jurisdictions, FAIR said. Likewise, the Department of Justice could sue these jurisdictions to force an end to these illegal policies.

But in the meantime, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is sending a gentle reminder to these jurisdictions: You are still part of the United States and the federal government has the power to enforce its laws whether you like it or not. In fact, ICE has responded by stepping up enforcement efforts in places where sanctuary policies endanger public safety.

The move by ICE is more than just retaliatory. Willie Sutton-like, ICE is focusing enforcement on places where they are most likely to find criminal aliens who pose a threat to the American people: namely, sanctuary jurisdictions. The message to local sanctuary politicians is clear: If you won't turn over the criminal aliens we are asking for, we'll go find them ourselves. Not only that, if we happen to run across other illegal aliens, even ones who have not committed other illegal acts, we're going to take them too. 

"Ironically, sanctuary policies – which are often passed in the name of improving public safety – actually endanger the lives of innocent Americans, immigrants, and even other illegal aliens…the very people pro-sanctuary politicians seem to care about the most," FAIR said.
