The resolution, which passed along party lines with a 74 to 34 vote, included references to recent immigration enforcement actions in Chicago, which Republicans argued were unnecessarily divisive.
“The purely political talk that we saw yesterday does not make things better for our constituents. It was an effort to divide this House and to keep it divided. We have to figure out a better way to move forward for the people of Illinois. Illinois is not getting better this way. It’s not getting safer,” said Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer (R).
Republicans expressed concern that the focus on political rhetoric is detracting from addressing key issues such as taxes, energy, and transit, which they believe are more pressing for Illinois residents.
The resolution’s inclusion of immigration enforcement was a particular point of contention, with Republicans defending the President’s actions as upholding the law.
