Illinois Democrats have gone into full damage control mode, refusing to defend their shameful votes against the Laken Riley Act after yet another American student was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant with a criminal record.
Sheridan Gorman, a student at Loyola University, became the latest victim of the Democrats' open border policies when she was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant - the same type of repeat offender the Laken Riley Act was designed to keep off our streets.
But where are Illinois Democrats now? Crickets. Complete silence from the very lawmakers who voted 'no' on legislation that could have prevented this tragedy.
Blood on Their Hands
The Laken Riley Act, named after the Georgia nursing student brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant, requires federal authorities to detain illegal aliens charged with theft-related crimes. It's common-sense legislation that prioritizes American lives over political correctness.
Yet Illinois Democrats - the same party that turned their state into a sanctuary for criminals - couldn't bring themselves to support even basic protections for American citizens. Now another family is grieving, and these cowards won't even face the cameras to explain themselves.
This is what happens when Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over the safety of American students. Sheridan Gorman should be studying for exams, not lying in a morgue because Illinois Democrats value virtue signaling over American lives.
Trump Was Right All Along
President Trump's mass deportation agenda isn't just policy - it's a moral imperative. Every day Democrats delay and obstruct means more American families could face the same horror as the Gorman and Riley families.
Illinois Democrats thought they could quietly vote against the Laken Riley Act and hope nobody noticed. Well, Patriots are noticing. We're watching. And we're keeping score of every politician who puts illegal immigrants before American citizens.
How many more Sheridan Gormans and Laken Rileys will it take before Democrats admit their open border policies are a deadly failure? And why won't a single Illinois Democrat defend their indefensible vote?
