Rep. Adam Niemerg joins Sec. Kristi Noem in calling for compliance with federal immigration laws (Dieterich, IL) – State Representative Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich) today joined US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in calling on state leaders in Illinois to comply with federal immigration laws.
Secretary Noem was in Springfield today to call attention to the state’s sanctuary state policies that are putting Illinois families in harm’s way.
“Governor Pritzker and his allies in the House and the Senate have put their far-left ideology above the needs of Illinois citizens,” Niemerg said. “They are spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on people who are in our country illegally. The State of Illinois cannot solve the immigration crisis. This is a federal issue, and we need to let the federal government solve it. We need to end these terrible policies and put the interest of Illinois citizens first.”
Niemerg spoke with the Illinois families at the press conference whose lives have been impacted by criminals in Illinois illegally.
“What has happened to these families is wrong,” Niemerg said. “Instead of working with the federal government to prevent illegal immigration and preventing senseless acts of violence, the Governor and his allies in the House and the Senate have decided to side with criminals against their own citizens. It is time to stop playing politics with people’s lives. It is time to end our Illinois’ sanctuary state policies.”
Niemerg serves as the Republican Spokesman for the House Immigration and Human Rights Committee.
