Doesn’t surprise me in the least. First we accept the future voters i mean illegals . Than you have state taxes on your income, gas, property and food. And any other thing they can tax. Figure out a fair budget and quit looking at citizens as personal checking accounts

Sent by other states ?? Illinois welcomes ILLEGAL INVADERS to keep the population numbers up for all the residents who are leaving . Plus are the border states supposed to take care of the 10-12 MILLION ILLEGALS BIDEN ALLOWED IN ???
