Pritzker to announce additional $182 million in upcoming budget for migrants – Center Square

In total, the governor’s office said the officials estimated $321 million is needed for this calendar year on top of previous committed funds. Taxpayers already spent more than $500 million on the migrant crisis in 2023. Gov. JB Pritzker announced in November an additional $160 million. In Thursday’s announcement of more money for the coming fiscal year, Pritzker said without action from the federal government, “it’s clear the state, county, and city will have to do more to keep people safe.”

Sure Fatso, why not? Whats another 500M when you’ve already burned through the first batch of taxpayers money? Make it a couple of billion while you’re at it! The party never ends for free spenders of everyone else’s money. Glad you re- elected this balloon into office ? You should be ashamed to look in the mirror.

WHAT ABOUT HELPING THE CITIZENS AND NOT PUT MORE BURDENS ON THEM

Cheaper to send the illegal immigrants right back where they belong, but there aren’t nearly the opportunities for ‘pals’ if Illinois just charters planes.

This spending is unconscionable on every level. The taxpayers should go on strike and starve the state.
