Under the Pritzker administration, Illinois has spent over $3 billion on services for migrants and illegal immigrants. Critics argue that this expenditure has resulted in chronic underfunding and underservice for vulnerable citizens. The Democratic sanctuary state policy is said to have cost taxpayers billions and impacted community safety.
House Republicans are advocating for immigration reform and a state budget that focuses on the needs of working families and seniors in Illinois rather than illegal immigrants.
“Democrats’ sanctuary state policy has cost Illinois taxpayers billions and made our communities less safe,” according to the statement. House Republicans emphasize their commitment to prioritizing local families in financial planning.
