Urbana mayor addresses federal agents’ presence, assures no local police involvement – WICS (Springfield)

Mayor DeShawn Williams said, in part, "The City of Urbana remains firmly committed to following both Illinois law and our own sanctuary city resolution. That means our role in federal civil immigration enforcement is extremely limited and intentionally so. Our focus continues to be the safety, inclusion, and well-being of everyone who calls Urbana home."

Well maybe Urbana and many other cities need to more concerned for their law abiding, tax paying, legal citizens instead of the criminals. And they are all criminals when and if they came into this country illegally.

Wasn’t it in Urbana where the illegal under the influence plowed into some students, killing at least one female ? I wonder how her family is feeling about the safety, well- being and inclusion?

That’s your argument, cherry picking ONE situation in ONE place and trying to make political hay out of it giving the impression it likely happens lots of times everywhere—all because we have immigration thought by many to have run amuck? It’s those damn immigrant? Give me a break!

Illegals have killed many people in many places by driving under the influence. It is far from one incident. And again, one has to wonder how the parents of the dead girl feel while some schmoe goes on about safety blah blah. Give us a break and admit that letting 10-20M illegals into the country unfettered only to be supported with billions of tax dollars was a bad move designed to sway the election for Democrats.
