In keeping with Governor Pritzker's promise to "Trump-Proof" Illinois, his party is preparing to ram through HB 5164. It's already passed in the House. The bill will make it almost impossible to find illegals with a criminal history and those who have committed crimes while on American soil, for the purpose of deportation. HB 5164 also appeals to transgenders.

HB 5164 allows people to change their names after living in Illinois for only 3 months (down from 6 months). Furthermore, the person changing their name may file a motion to have the documents kept sealed, prohibiting their name change from being made public. The bill puts a cap of $25 to file for a name change and can even result in no charge whatsoever. 

This bill will most definitely appeal to transgenders, but it appears to be more aimed at making it impossible to track and apprehend illegal immigrants. 

There's no better way to hide than to change your name and have the records sealed.

Who will benefit from this bill?

• Those who have apprehended the more than 300,000 missing children who have crossed the border;
• Those who have committed rapes and murders who don't want law enforcement to find them;
• A man who is pretending to be a woman and a woman who is pretending to be a man.
