   Question: When is an invader not an invader?   
      
   Answer: When he’s wearing a sombrero.   
      
   But if he swapped his sombrero for a U.S. military uniform, then he’s   
   clearly an evil, awful invader, and the commander-in-chief is a “wannabe   
   dictator.” [/sarc]   
      
   Welcome to the upside-down, inside-out world of Gov. JB Pritzker   
   (D-Ill.). It’s Orwellian Newspeak on steroids: white is black, wet is   
   dry, and fat is… well, fat is still fat. (Even Newspeak has its limits.)   
      
   Yesterday morning, President Trump posted on Truth Social a   
   tongue-in-cheek, “Apocalypse Now”-themed promise to deport the illegal   
   aliens who’ve invaded Chicago, Ill. — a state with over half-a-million   
   illegal aliens. That’s fifth most in the entire country.   
      
   Here was his post:   
      
      
      
   It’s not coincidence or happenstance that Illinois became the go-to   
   destination for half a million illegal aliens. This was Gov. Pritzker’s   
   deliberate policy: Illinois is a sanctuary state — a safe haven for   
   illegal invaders — and Pritzker signed a slew of laws to further protect   
   them from the federal government:   
      
   In 2021, he signed the Way Forward Act, which increased protections for   
   illegals by terminating cooperation with federal immigration   
   authorities, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).   
   In 2024 (just in time for Election Day!), he signed legislation   
   authorizing “undocumented citizens” to obtain Illinois driver’s   
   licenses. (But I’m sure none of ‘em voted, because hey, that would be   
   illegal.)   
   In 2025, he signed the Retention of Illinois Students and Equity (RISE)   
   Act, which guaranteed student aid for “noncitizen students who has not   
   obtained lawful permanent residence.”   
   Also in 2025, he signed the Safe Schools for All Act, which prohibited   
   Illinois schools from cooperating with the federal government. Furthermore:   
   It would also prohibit schools from disclosing, or threatening to   
   disclose, information about a student’s immigration status or the status   
   of a person associated with the child. And it would require schools to   
   develop procedures for reviewing and authorizing requests from law   
   enforcement agents attempting to enter a school or school facility.   
      
   The bill is intended to buffer K-12 students in Illinois from efforts by   
   the Trump administration to launch mass deportations of noncitizens   
   living in the United States without legal authorization. [emphasis added]   
      
   In other words, the entire goal of Pritzker’s legislation was to   
   circumvent U.S. immigration policy.   
      
   Meanwhile, Chicago’s most vulnerable citizens continue to suffer   
   shockingly high rates of violent crime:   
      
   "Black Chicagoans are 20 times more likely than their white counterparts   
   to be killed by a gun or to be a victim of a homicide. So, we often hear   
   in Chicago, it's a tale of two cities, and we definitely see that in the   
   data," said Kim Smith, with the University of Chicago Crime Lab.   
      
   It’s also spiking costs for Illinois taxpayers: Last year, over $1   
   billion worth of healthcare benefits was spent on illegal aliens, which   
   led to this incredulous question from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.):   
      
   “You do not keep track of any public service dollars in the state of   
   Illinois that goes to illegal immigrants?” Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.,   
   asked Pritzker after the governor didn’t offer specifics about exactly   
   how much Illinois spends on “illegal immigration.”   
      
   No matter the cost, Gov. Pritzker continues to defend the indefensible —   
   continuing to argue that illegal aliens are actually “law-abiding”:   
      
   What Pritzker said he finds “quite disturbing, is they’re going after   
   people who are law-abiding, who are holding down jobs, who have families   
   here, who may have been here for a decade or two decades, and they’re   
   often our neighbors and our friends.”   
      
   […]   
      
   “We have a law on the books in Illinois that says that our local law   
   enforcement will stand up for those law-abiding, undocumented people in   
   our states who are doing the right thing, and we’re not going to help   
   federal officials just drag them away just because” someone thinks they   
   could be in the country illegally, he said. [emphasis added]   
      
   Question: How the hell can you be “law-abiding” when you’re de facto   
   breaking the law by being here?   
      
   No matter. In JB Pritzker’s upside-down, inside-out mind, invading   
   illegal aliens are “law-abiding” — and members of the U.S. military are   
   “invaders.”   
      
    From CBS News:   
      
   Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker told CBS News the Trump administration has not   
   communicated with his state on a reported plan to send military forces   
   to Chicago, calling the idea an "invasion" and arguing President Trump   
   has "other aims" aside from cracking down on crime.   
      
   Asked about a possible military deployment to America's third-largest   
   city, which was recently reported by The Washington Post, Pritzker told   
   CBS News: "It's clear that, in secret, they're planning this — well,   
   it's an invasion with U.S. troops, if they, in fact, do that."   
      
   […]   
      
   Pritzker told CBS News that, if Mr. Trump sends the Guard to Chicago,   
   voters "should understand that he has other aims, other than fighting   
   crime."   
      
   The governor argued that the president's gambit may be part of a plan to   
   "stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections."   
      
   The same man who intentionally flouted federal law by inviting hundreds   
   of thousands of illegal aliens into his state — giving ‘em billions of   
   taxpayers’ dollars, as well as valid driver’s licenses — is arguing that   
   TRUMP is the one trying to rig an election?!   
      
   Well, sure.   
      
   That’s because Illinois’ illegal aliens are Pritzker’s “law-abiding”   
   “neighbors and friends.” But since President Trump is attempting to   
   enforce federal law, he’s obviously a “wannabe dictator”:   
      
      
   Liberals cheered when President Eisenhower used federal troops to end   
   segregation and enforce federal law. Now, they’re booing and hissing   
   when the President Trump is doing the exact same thing.
