SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois Senate President John Cullerton's plan to protect undocumented immigrants from what proponents consider federal harassment has won approval.

The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 31-21 Thursday to approve the "TRUST Act." It prohibits local or state police from cooperating with federal authorities who are investigating immigrants but do not have a criminal warrant.

They'll trust illegal immigrants but not citizens with guns.  Makes sense to me. :thud:

What it will take to coerce cooperation from recalcitrant state legislatures such as that in Illinois:
Federal agents (supported by federal troops if necessary), rolling into Springfield and taking John Cullerton into custody.

Cut off their funds?
You must be kidding me!
