Once again, Pritzker protecting illegals, his newly imported voters. And this is at the expense of US citizens. DOJ needs to audit “get covered Illinois “ to expose how many illegals will be on it.

Jumbo Pritzker could care less because he will just take road and infrastructure improvement money from all the rubes, hayseeds and hillbillies in the rural areas of Illinois (about 90% of the state).
