As the Governor announced his 18th Disaster Proclamation regarding the "migrant crisis," the Illinois Freedom Caucus was returning home from surveying the disastrous US Southern Border. 

Governor Pritzker, who has spent the majority of his time as Governor operating under Executive Orders and Disaster Proclamations, wants to roll out the red carpet for Illegal Immigrants, no matter the burden placed on working Illinois taxpayers.

If the Governor is going to continue to declare this a disaster, and yet do nothing to shut off the flow of Illegal Immigrants into Illinois, then we deserve accurate and truthful metrics on this crisis. Illinoisans deserve to know where these people are, how much money is being spent, and any public safety concerns to local communities.

As far as the Illinois Freedom Caucus is concerned, there is only one "Disaster Proclamation" necessary; CLOSE THE BORDER!”

The Illinois Freedom Caucus is comprised of State Representatives Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich); Chris Miller (R-Hindsboro); Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville); Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City),Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur), Jed Davis (R-Newark) and David Friess (R-Red Bud).. The members of the Illinois Freedom Caucus are members of the Illinois General Assembly who are advocating for limited government, lower taxes and accountability and integrity in government.
