Deering filed a measure to end preferential treatment for non-citizens in Illinois’ public higher-education system and ensure no non-citizen receives a better tuition or financial-aid benefit than a U.S. citizen.
Legal taxpayers do not want to fund illegal college students. Fund legal IL students only. Pritzker is pro illegals over US citizens. He rust wants to import voters. Goes along with hid gerrymandering. Also, we need to block “Get Covered IL”.. That is just another way for taxpayers to pay for health insurance for illegals. JB can’t run the state, why does he think that IL can run health insurance?

Its about time a state rep looked out for its constituents in this state.
Only it doesn’t offer preferential treatment. It puts illegals on the same footing and does not offer them anything more than any other citizen with the same financial/academic background. I completely disagree with spending money on illegals but it’s not illegal. No, Trump will not be filing a lawsuit.
Yes out of state US citizens pay out of state tuition just like out of state illegals pay out of state tuition. Hence my comment, “does not offer them anything more than any other citizen with the same financial/academic background. Every state university across the country has their own way of deciding who is in state and who is out of state. If Illinois declares someone “in-state” because they have lived here x amount of time or graduated from an Illinois High school then they are in-state. Again, it’s not right but also not illegal. Not everything we disagree with… Read more »
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

If he were looking out for his constituents, he would not offer any financial assistance to those here illegally.
Trump lawsuit incoming….

I thought that out of state US citizens are often charged more than instate illegal students if they want to attend college here, but maybe I’m wrong?
