Deering Calls out Democrats Attempts at Political Theater, Delivers the Truth

SPRINGFIELD, IL… State Representative Regan Deering (R-Decatur) issued the following statement after House Resolution 504, a resolution to condemn the Trump Administration's 'Operation Midway Blitz', was brought to the House Floor:

"While my colleagues on the other side of the aisle continue to criticize the Trump Administration and law enforcement, I'd like to clear up some seeming misunderstandings as to how we got here, and the real reason 550,000 illegal immigrants came to reside Illinois in the first place," began Rep. Deering. "Thanks to President Biden's lawlessness, our border was opened to a flood of millions of illegal immigrants. Illinois, with its relaxed Sanctuary State policies, acted as a magnet to these illegal immigrants, costing taxpaying citizens billions."

HR 504 begins with discussing due process, but quickly deviates to tear down the important work that the Trump Administration has done regarding the illegal immigrant crisis plaguing Illinois, through 'Operation Midway Blitz'. The operation, thanks to the work of federal agents, has captured and deported thousands of criminal illegal aliens for the most heinous of crimes, such as rape and murder.

"We shouldn't need our federal government to step in and enforce the law in Illinois, but politicians who lead our state and largest city are busier demonizing law enforcement and inciting violence against them, rather than restoring and respecting the rule of law," continued Deering. "The bottom line is this: Federal law enforcement officers are doing their job-removing criminal illegals from our state."

HR 504 was included in a set of radical resolutions heard on the House Floor, including those calling for Secretary Kennedy to resign and claims that the media is controlled by the Trump Administration.

"To my colleagues, Governor Pritzker, and Mayor Johnson: we all have a job to do. We took an oath to serve the constituents of Illinois, and yet some of you are preoccupied with giving speeches and attacking the Trump Administration, while you should be working to repeal the TRUST Act and end our disastrous Sanctuary State laws. Let's put Illinois citizens first," concluded Deering.
