Hundreds Of Million In Taxpayer Dollars Should Not Go To Migrant Care
Illinois plans to allocate an additional $160 million in taxpayer funds to assist the growing number of migrants arriving from the southern U.S. border.
This move has raised concerns among some state legislators, who argue that taxpayer dollars should be used to care for citizens, not non-citizens.
Governor J.B. Pritzker defended the allocation, stating that the funding is necessary to address the needs of asylum seekers. (Trending: Obama’s Sick Move Against Israel)
“The state, alongside our local partners, has led a comprehensive data-driven analysis of the ongoing asylum seeker response, rooted in not only data but also input from frontline partners and new arrivals, which identified several ‘bottlenecks’ where services and resettlement tended to slow,” Pritzker said.
