*** UPDATED x5 - Shriver Center, Cullerton, Senate Latino Caucus, McCann, Pritzker respond *** Rauner says he will veto three immigration bills, talks about Mollie Tibbetts case

Friday, Aug 24, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Earlier today on a southern Illinois radio station…



* The governor called the three pieces of legislation “bad bills.” Former Gov. Jim Edgar penned an op-ed earlier this week calling on him to sign the bills. Here’s Edgar’s take on the first bill Rauner referenced today

The Immigration Safe Zones Act (SB 35) addresses the all-too-common fear among many immigrants of law enforcement agents swooping them up as they go to court, seek medical attention, pursue education, and seek other assistance. This bill would direct the Illinois Attorney General to develop model policies for courthouses, schools, libraries, medical facilities, and shelters on how to handle immigration enforcement activity. These model policies would send a strong signal that education, public health and justice should be available for all Illinois residents, while ensuring that any enforcement activity at these locations meet basic legal standards.

Gov. Rauner said today the “bad” bill was “part of the whole sanctuary concept that I’m against.”

…Adding… I posted the wrong bill above. He’s vetoing SB35, but signing SB3488. Change made in text.

* Edgar

The VOICES Act (SB 34) would set consistent rules for law enforcement agencies that work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and certain other crimes. These survivors can seek federal protections if law enforcement agencies certify that they have come forward and actively cooperated in the prosecution of their case, but too often these agencies delay or deny these certifications. By setting standards for handling certification requests, this bill would encourage the untold numbers of survivors who have yet to come forward to report and cooperate with law enforcement, and improve public safety for all.

“That ties the hands of law enforcement,” Rauner said. “It can delay deportations which should otherwise occur. And again, that’s a bad bill and we’re gonna be vetoing that. We don’t want to tie the hands of our local law enforcement.”

* Edgar

The Immigrant Tenant Protection Act (SB 3103) would protect immigrant renters from unscrupulous landlords who might seek to avoid their legal obligations under Illinois law and local ordinances by issuing threats and illegal evictions based solely on immigration status.

“Again,” Rauner said, Wwe should not be tying the hands of any property owners in the state or supporting illegal immigration in that way.”

* The show’s host then mentioned that Illinois has more illegal immigrants than any other state. Rauner’s response

That pushes up our unemployment rate, and that holds down wages in Illinois and takes jobs away from Americans.

* Rauner also talked about how the state Democrats “tried to ban E-Verify as a tool for employers to check on legal status of immigrants before they hire anybody.” He said that “fortunately, they lost that in the courts.” The governor said he wants E-Verify everywhere in the country. Click here for background on that fight.

The show’s host suggested that perhaps the alleged murderer of Mollie Tibbetts, who is reported to be an illegal immigrant, might not have even been working in Iowa if his employer had used E-Verify, which is a website that allows employers to determine the eligibility of their employees to work.

Rauner

Well, you know I did read, I did read that, that that individual, the alleged murderer in that case, who was an illegal immigrant, had been working in the US for a while and the employer did not use E-Verify to check on his status and that may very well have made a difference.

Some Republicans, including former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have been pushing Republican candidates to use the Mollie Tibbetts case in the fall campaign.

*** UPDATE 1 *** Pritzker campaign…

“Bruce Rauner vetoing a majority of the immigration bills on his desk is a cowardly, political move that exploits divisions he and Donald Trump try to make in our society,” said JB Pritzker. “When Trump leads chants to ‘build the wall’ and bans refugees from entering our country, Rauner applauds his administration and follows his lead by vetoing bills even Republicans call ‘practical, common sense solutions to urgent issues that immigrants in our state face.’ We have 1.8 million immigrants in Illinois, and their governor refuses to protect and support them — that’s a disgrace. As governor, I will sign these critical bills, stand with our immigrant families, and work to improve educational opportunities, increase healthcare options, and foster economic opportunity for immigrant youth and their families.”

*** UPDATE 2 *** Sen. Sam McCann…

Governor Rauner’s sudden change of heart on immigration is disingenuous and clearly driven by his staggeringly low poll numbers. Rauner willingly signed a bill into law reigning Illinois in as a sanctuary state and has remained silent in much of the national immigration debate. Choosing rather to side with a Chicago liberals rather than POTUS Donald Trump.

Now that polls show him trailing by nearly twenty points, Governor Rauner has decided his only political option is to flip-flop and pretend to be conservative, thinking Illinois voters won’t see right through him.

Illinois voters have one candidate who has been consistently tough on immigration, and they can count on me to stay vigilant in protecting jobs for our citizens.

*** UPDATE 3 *** Press release…

The Illinois Senate Latino Caucus denounced statements made by Gov. Bruce Rauner today while announcing his veto of three immigration-related bills on the basis of inaccurate assertions and false generalizations that all undocumented immigrants are murderers.

Senate Latino Caucus members released the following statements:

Latino Caucus Co-Chair Martin A. Sandoval (D-Chicago):

“These are measures that would have given immigrants basic human rights and protected them from deportation simply for reporting crimes. As we draw closer to November, Rauner gets closer and closer to being a Donald Trump clone than an independently-minded leader.”

Assistant Majority Leader Antonio “Tony” Munoz (D-Chicago):

“The governor’s comments today are misguided. I find it offensive that he would attempt to hurt members of our community to join in with President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. He has completely ignored the intent of these pieces of legislation while failing to lead our diverse state once again.”

Assistant Majority Leader Iris Y. Martinez (D-Chicago):

“The governor is trying to score political points during a week when anti-immigrant rhetoric is high. It’s a shame that he cares more about appealing to certain voters than really reading this legislation and understanding that it is beneficial to the many immigrants living in our state.”

Senator Omar Aquino (D-Chicago):

“Gov. Rauner chose to side with the racist rhetoric that is spewed from the White House instead of focusing on the people he represents. He was wrong for using such a tragic incident to benefit himself and hurting our community by completely undermining legislation that helps everyone.”

Senator Cristina Castro (D-Elgin):

“This once again proves the governor is no friend of Illinois’ diverse immigrant communities. Gov. Rauner continues to flock to President Trump’s hostile right-wing agenda instead of embracing the contributions diversity brings to our state and society. Illinois needs a leader, not a Trump follower.”

*** UPDATE 4 *** Press release…

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto Friday of legislation intended to improve relations between immigrant communities and law enforcement is a step backward that will punish victims and shield criminals, said Illinois Senate President John J. Cullerton, the lead sponsor of the proposal.

“This is a slap in the face to crime victims who happen to be immigrants. The whole idea was to foster trust between police and immigrant communities. You want immigrants to report crime, because criminals aren’t checking immigration status,” Cullerton said. “Gov. Rauner’s veto is a misguided step in the wrong direction that will ultimately shield criminals and punish victims.”

Cullerton sponsored the proposed Voices Of Immigrant Communities Empowering Survivors (VOICES) Act to add teeth to an existing federal law designed to encourage people to report crimes and help police regardless of their immigration status. Federal law creates special immigration visas for victims of crime.

Here’s how it is intended to work: When victimized immigrants help police and prosecutors bring criminals to justice, they are supposed to, in turn, get assistance from law enforcement with their official immigration paperwork.

That deal already exists in federal law. The problem is there’s no deadline for that paperwork assistance, leading to criticism that immigrant victims are too often left in legal limbo. These are often victims of human trafficking.

Cullerton’s proposal required Illinois law enforcement to sign off on the immigration paperwork within 90 business days.

The VOICES Act, Senate Bill 34, passed the Illinois Senate with bipartisan support.

*** UPDATE 5 *** Press release…

The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law condemns Governor Rauner’s veto of SB3103, the Illinois Immigrant Tenant Protection Act. The ITPA protects all Illinoisans by prohibiting landlords from harassing, mistreating, or evicting tenants based on any perceived immigration status. The bill would make Illinois a better place to rent property and a fairer place to live. It is disgraceful that in the year of the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act Governor Rauner has chosen to veto SB3103, putting hateful and discriminatory politics ahead of sound policy.

    So Rauner, it’s okay to abuse immigrant tenets? What if your Swedish great grandfather had rented his farm and had been threatened for deportation because he complained that the well ran dry?


  2. - Montrose - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 12:28 pm:

    “Again,” Rauner said, Wwe should not be tying the hands of any property owners in the state or supporting illegal immigration in that way.”

    This bill is about stopping landlord’s from using immigration status to scare and intimidate renters. Such landlords are benefiting from illegal immigration. Tying these landlords hands is exactly what he should want to do if he believes the second half of his statement.

    The whole “Some Republicans, including former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have been pushing Republican candidates to use the Mollie Tibbetts case in the fall campaign” makes me sick to my stomach. Campaign on accomplishments and ideas not on the death of a beautiful young life.

    Let’s talk about policies that lead to unnecessary deaths.

    Like Veterans that died of a legionaries outbreak that didn’t need to in the State of Illinois under Rauner’s administration.

    === the employer did not use E-Verify to check on his status and that may very well have made a difference===

    He’d worked for the same employer for four years. That employer is also a major republican donor.

    See, if one’s bad, they’re all bad, amirite?

  9. - Perrid - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 12:40 pm:

    So police officers don’t need to help survivors of sexual abuse if they are undocumented, and landlords can do whatever they want, like turn off the heat in winter, to their tenants if they are undocumented. Rauner doesn’t want to take THOSE options off of the table; that’s what it means when he says he doesn’t want to tie their hands.


  10. - Dupagedem - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 12:41 pm:

    The illegal immigrant that killed Mollie Tibbets had fake papers, so he would most likely not been caught with e verify.

    We have thousands of murders in this country by legal residents.

    At some point, the United States is going to have to get serious about putting out the immigrant welcome mat. States like Illinois are losing population.

    The Tibbetts case is sad because a young person was murdered. Another sad event was the guy in Colorado killing his wife and two kids. One case is not more or less awful than the other because of the immigration or citizenship status of the murderers. It’s too bad that not everyone understands that.


  18. - Roman - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 1:02 pm:

    This represents a major policy reversal by the Governor.

    None of those bills go nearly as far as the “Trust Act,” which Rauner signed at big ceremony last year. That law prohibits Illinois law enforcement from honoring federal ICE detainers on criminal suspects.

    Fascinating political strategy here. He’s sprinting back to the right.

    What’s next? A nasty confrontation next week on the Kennedy Expressway with the anti-violence protest.

    No, it doesn’t.

    These bills were all collectively part of the original version of the Trust act. It was signed in part because they were removed from last year’s bill.

    “There is a massive difference between a worthwhile comment and an anonymous drive-by.

    With respect, it seems like an anonymous drive by but in all that Edgar states, he uses the word “immigrant.” And I think there is a huge difference between an immigrant who comes here legally, and one who does not.

    These bills, along with many others at the state and federal level blur the line between that status.

    I agree there should be humane treatment of all those who enter illegally, some of the recent actions by this administration were disgusting.

    But, we can’t afford to leave immigration unchecked. I said it years before the clown in the white house said something similar - we either have borders or we don’t.


  23. - The Dude Abides - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 1:09 pm:

    Rauner said “That pushes up our unemployment rate, and that holds down wages in Illinois and takes jobs away from Americans.”
    What a hypocrite. Holding down wages is one of the main reasons that he ran for Governor. He loves cheap labor. I heard him tell the asphalt pavers association that they need cheaper labor. Ending Unions, the prevailing wage issue is all about cheap labor.


  24. - Responsa - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 1:13 pm:

    The Iowa DOT has confirmed (Using facial recognition technology) that the murderer of Mollie Tibbits had neither a state ID under any name –which was legally required for him to be employed, or an Iowa Driver’s license to enable him to be driving the truck in which he abducted Mollie. Yes, these are issues with respect to the broken immigration system and blatant non-compliance of existing laws that are going to come up during the fall campaigns. As they should.

    You are wrong. From the Trust Act:

    (5 ILCS 805/15)
    Sec. 15. Prohibition on enforcing federal civil immigration laws.
    (a) A law enforcement agency or law enforcement official shall not detain or continue to detain any individual solely on the basis of any immigration detainer or non-judicial immigration warrant or otherwise comply with an immigration detainer or non-judicial immigration warrant.


  27. - Anonymous - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 1:22 pm:

    Roman, you said “criminal suspects”…a detainer accompanied by a warrant can be complied with. You also left out the provision of the bill that states nothing in the law prevents law enforcement from communicating with the Feds

  36. - Roman - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 1:59 pm:

    == a detainer accompanied by a warrant can be complied with. ==

    “Warrant” is the key word there. Because of the Trust Act, a “detainer” is now meaningless in Illinois. Previous to the Trust Act, ICE did not need a warrant to get an Illinois police agency to hold an undocumented person. ICE merely had to send a “detainer” (a simple written request, usually via fax) to the police agency — and the police department would not release the suspect, even if that suspect posted bail. The Trust Act forces ICE to go to court, appear before a judge, and ask the judge to issue a federal warrant to hold the individual.

    It’s a much more time consuming process than sending a fax or email — and ICE rarely bothers with it.

    The Cook County Sheriff and the Chicago PD had been refusing to honor ICE detainers for a few years. They’d effectively tell ICE: “we don’t care about your detainer, go see a judge and get a warrant if you want us to hold this guy.”

    The Trust Act made that policy a statewide law. It represented a major change in the way local law enforcement handles undocumented individuals they arrest on a day-to-day basis. None of the three bills that passed this year would have that much of an impact on law enforcement operations.

    The owner where the illegal immigrant worked was a Republican and former Farm Bureau president and lost the Secretary of Agriculture election in Iowa recently. 47 percent of crop workers are illegal immigrants in US. This country has long depended on immigrants to do the labor that non immigrants cannot or will not do. The system seeks cheap labor and illegal immigrants provide it. The employers need these immigrants for their business. The resistance party portrays the immigrants as having citizen rights and protections. In reality the illegal immigrant working in this country provides cheap labor so consumers can by cheaper food with limited rights. Cheap labor allows other stuff to bought more cheaply. US has a long history of obtaining cheap labor using indentured servants,african americans, native americans, slaves, mexican, european and asian immigrants, and illegal immigrants. It is not easy finding manual labor to work in the fields, packing houses and canneries from the existing US citizens.

  46. - Veil of Ignorance - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 2:53 pm:

    Extremely disappointing. The VOICES Act (SB34) got 76 House votes, including Republican Leader Durkin and several female GOP members. It’s meant to help immigrant victims of crime get a baseline level of assistance from law enforcement and encourages folks to report crimes. So to bring up the Tibbetts tragedy in the same conversation is just disingenuous and sad. This is politics at its worst.

    == Yes, mainly because a suit was filed in Federal Court in Chicago, where a judge ruled those detainers cant be enforced as issued. ==

    No, the Cook County Sheriff and CPD were ignoring detainers because the county board and city council passed welcoming ordinances mandating them to do so. Almost every other law enforcement agency in the state was honoring ICE detainers until the Trust Act became law last year.

  50. - Veil of Ignorance - Friday, Aug 24, 18 @ 3:10 pm:

    @Roman: that’s funny because the Sheriff Association said the exact opposite than what you claim because ICE detainer requests aren’t judicial warrants. In other words, there’s no legal basis for law enforcement to hold a person in custody based solely on an administrative immigration warrant.

    - Veil of Ignorance -

    Before the guv signed the Trust Act, all but few law enforcement agencies in Illinois honored ICE detainers. The Trust Act made it illegal. Which makes the Trust Act a significant piece of legislation. That’s my point. After HB 40, it was one of the chief justifications for Jeanne Ives candidacy.

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to pull this post into a worm hole on the legality of ICE detainers and the 4th Amendment…the governor is pulling a major about-face on immigration. That’s the news here.

    Last year, he did a big ceremonial bill signing for the Trust Act with scores of Latino politician standing behind him. Now he sounds like Steve Bannon when it comes to immigration.
