The economic consequences of Illinois’ spending on illegal immigrants are real. Everyone gets hurt by the higher taxes that spending billions more imposes. But there’s much more to the migrant problem than that.
Our schools are being overwhelmed. Unemployment will likely jump. And so will poverty. Our streets have become less safe. And our economy will suffer.
If Wirepoints had been at Gov. Pritzker’s congressional testimony, here are six questions we would have asked him to answer:
1. How do you justify spending more than $1.5 billion of Illinois taxpayers’ dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants when Chicago has the highest black poverty rate in the country among the nation’s biggest cities?

2. How do you justify spending hundreds of millions, if not billions, on illegal, non-English-speaking children at Chicago Public Schools when the school district is already junk-rated, faces a billion-dollar deficit and has just 21% of black students able to read at grade level?
3. How can you justify allowing illegals with violent criminal histories to come to our state when Chicago has led the country in total murders for 13 years in a row and had the highest murder rate among the nation’s 20 biggest cities in 2024?

They spend BILLIONS in California each year to try and bridge the gap between blacks and hispanics in comparison to Whites and asians and it does not move the needle one bit. It is a bottomless pit of special interest spending that ends up being both anti White and extremely wasteful in the end with no results other than preferential treatment and extreme and open nepotism.
