Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is continuing to resist Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in his state and the City of Chicago. Now he's being blasted for comments he made recently that seem to disparage both law enforcement officers and service members.
He recently referred to the federal law enforcement and National Guard members being deployed to Chicago as "invaders." This comes as he's continued to refer to illegal alien criminals as "neighbors."
Now, William Gheen, founder of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, or ALIPAC, is calling this out as an example of how leftists prioritize illegal aliens who continue to drive up violent crime. He said, "Liberal Democrats favor the criminals and the invaders over their own countrymen. It's why they're waving every type of rainbow and foreign flag they can."
Gheen also warned that Pritzker could be crossing legal lines with his support of illegal aliens and his sanctuary policies. He explained, "It's against the law for anyone to entice, encourage, aid, or abet anyone who enters the United States and remains unlawfully."
He went on to call this effort by radical Democrats to support foreign adversaries "insane" and said, "I think pretty soon, Governor Pritzker is going to find out how the rest of the country feels about his idiotic statements."
