Illinois governor Bruce Rauner is taking criticism for signing a bill that essentially makes Illinois a “sanctuary state” for illegal aliens.
The governors of California and New York have essentially withdrawn their states from the Union, much like the idiotic Southern governors did in the run-up to the Civil War, when it comes to enforcing laws against the harboring of millions of fugitives, many of whom are rapists, robbers, jihadists, and other killers, from foreign countries. The governors of Oregon, Washington, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Minnesota are ruling along the same lines. Rauner is moving his state in a similar direction. He is the only alleged Republican in the bunch.
Rauner signed legislation in August 2017 that would limit cooperation with federal immigration officials, angering members of his own party who say the law creates a “sanctuary state.” So reported Brooke Singman, a scribe for Fox News, on 8/28/17.
“The Illinois TRUST Act (the bill Rauner signed) bans local law enforcement from stopping, arresting, searching or detaining anyone based solely on immigration status. …it bars local officials from detaining anyone solely on the basis of a federal immigration detainer, unless federal officials have a criminal warrant.” So reported Ms. Singman.
Another woman is questioning whether Rauner is making Illinois a sanctuary state for bad foster parents.
We were contacted by this woman, who has been trying to gain custody of her grandson and adopt him. Her quest has run for at least four years. Her daughter and the natural father are both druggies, so she wanted to protect the little boy.
Instead, child protective services people in an Illinois county placed the boy with a relative of the sperm donor “in the best interests of the child.”
The woman asked us to look into the sperm donor and the foster couple, who state officials consider good enough to be foster parents.
We found the natural father has a string of convictions and lesser punishments for drug offenses, multiple DUIs, theft, car title violations, a concealed weapon incident, and criminal trespass in Illinois and Kentucky. He was also on the wrong end of a child support case. He is probably not father material in the sense of raising the little boy responsibly and setting him a good example.
The “haven” to where local social workers sent the little boy was the house in which the sperm donor’s uncle and uncle’s current honey live. The uncle/foster dude had financial problems, as evidenced by his conviction related to a bad check, and his eviction, as well as a divorce which showed his first ex-wife was the breadwinner. He also had assault and DUI related convictions, and matching ex-wives. The first one sued him for adultery after she was supporting him. The second sued him for cruelty, and had married him even after he beat her when she was his live-in girlfriend. The woman currently keeping his bed warm had an older son (now moved out) a paternity suit against this son’s natural father, who she later married as her first husband, a divorce, and a daughter (now moved out) who had a baby and a restraining order against a boyfriend before she was 20.
