Illinois Democrats have directed their attention towards passing five non-binding resolutions concerning the Trump administration. This move has drawn criticism for not addressing pressing state issues such as Illinois' $3.2 billion budget deficit. The critics argue that as state legislators, they lack authority over federal decisions.

The emphasis on political statements rather than practical solutions has been questioned. Some believe the focus should be on tangible actions like lowering taxes, reducing spending, and expanding opportunities for families in Illinois. One legislator stated, "That's where my focus remains—meeting with constituents and crafting legislation that helps the people of Illinois."
