“If you live in Illinois and are pursuing higher education, you should have access to the same opportunities as your peers.”

Maybe, but what Illinois citizens would say the illegal immigrants should be considered as peers?

peer definition: one who is of equal standing with another; especially, one belonging to the same societal group …

This is rich considering many REAL Illinois residents can’t afford to attend U of I and scholarships are nonexistent. Compare neighboring state residents that have plenty of scholarships, and in-state costs that are AT LEAST half of Illinois. There are plenty of families sending kids out of state due to crime, cost and politics despite paying out of state tuition – and it still ends up being less than U of I. The Dems keep wondering why so many HS grads (and then families) leave the state. What idiots.

Hey WTVO, they are called CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS. And every single one will be deported.

Simply Amazing. Just when you thought they couldn’t any more nuts, waste any more dollars, take more from you, our Illinois Government does this. How in the friggin world does this make any sense. Another corrupt illogical decision.

This is disgusting. You are obligating citizens to pay for the education of illegals… The depth of your depravity knows no bounds. It is getting hard to not want to wish ill on you JB.

It’s absolutely amazing and galling that Pritzker is allowed to use our taxpayer money to pay for education for illegal immigrants.

JB the Hutt continues to loot the increasingly bereft Illinois treasury. This time for Illegal immigrant, next will be to reward the inept political animal executive directors running Chicago’s RTA and it’s operating entities.

A racist policy. Shouldn’t we be more focused on aiding Black students that are American? Oh I forgot, Democrats take the Black vote for granted. No need to help them anymore.

Let Villanueva pay for the uneducated, unvetted illegal invaders out of his pocket. Their peers are back in the pukeholes they fled, not taxpaying, legal American citizens. WE OWE THEM NOTHING.

The suburban white boys will continue to be locked out of UIUC between DEI , and now financial aid for illegal aliens, all while their parents taxes increase. But folks in the collar counties voted for this upside-down governance we are told.

Yes, you should have access to the same opportunities as your peers—to be deported for being an illegal immigrant.

Let’s give more money to illegals and not to US IL citizens! The aid should go to IL US citizens and not illegals. Could Pritzker be anymore anti US citizen and pro illegals than this?
