Democrats Prioritize Illegal Immigrants Over Law Enforcement in Illinois

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Radical Democrats in Illinois, led by Governor JB Pritzker and Rep. Mike Levin, have signed a law providing taxpayer-funded student financial aid to illegal immigrants, while demonizing law enforcement officers who protect the community. This perilous pattern of prioritizing criminals over law enforcement has resulted in a surge of assaults on brave officers, including a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer being shot in the face by a criminal illegal immigrant in New York City. National Democrats are further complicating the situation by fundraising to stalk ICE agents and film their activities in real-time.
