Rep. Mary Miller: Gov. Pritzker's Budget Forces Illinois Families To Foot Bill For Illegal Aliens

June 5, 2024

WASHINGTON - Today, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed the State Budget into law that forces Illinois families to pay more in taxes to foot the bill for the cost of living for illegal aliens. Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) released the following statement:

"Governor Pritzker just signed a budget that raises taxes in order to give illegal immigrants $400 million of "free" healthcare and $182 million in handouts, all paid for by hardworking Illinois families. 

"Governor Pritzker is forcing you to pay the welfare, education, and healthcare costs of foreign nationals who are not American citizens. 

"Joe Biden and JB Pritzker put the American people last in their desperate attempt to appease the radical left by opening our borders to mass illegal immigration, which will bankrupt our state and our nation."
