Open borders and sanctuaries are driving Illinois’ migrant chaos, not Trump’s deportations

“Chaos and confusion.” That’s what Gov. J.B. Pritzker claims President Trump is creating as he plans to deport from America illegal immigrants with criminal records. Some 530,000 illegal immigrants reside in Illinois, the nation’s fifth-most according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Pritzker says Trump might initially target as many as 2,000 immigrants in Illinois for deportation.
Many Illinoisans will be surprised by Pritzker’s claim given the chaos he’s created with his own staunch support of open borders and Illinois’ sanctuary status. It’s been nearly three years of daily disorder in Illinois, largely in Chicago. Streams of incoming buses, full of illegal immigrants. Overrun police stations. Immigrant camps. Disenfranchised residents. Public confrontations between the mayor and the governor. Even more crime. It’s been ugly.
Then there are the costs of Pritzker and his Democratic supermajorities’ support for sanctuary policies. It will be some time before we can properly account for all the spending, but it, too, contributes heavily to the chaos. Billions are being siphoned away from Illinois’ actual residents and directed toward migrants. That’s money that could have gone to more services for Illinois’ most vulnerable citizens, or to lower taxes, or to smaller budget deficits.
Take spending on immigrant healthcare alone. A Wirepoints review of IDHFS’ most recent reports shows the state has spent a cumulative $1.5 billion since 2022 on the approximately 42,000 illegal immigrants who’ve enrolled in state-funded programs called Health Benefits for Immigrant Seniors (HBIS) and Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults (HBIA). Those programs don’t qualify for a federal Medicaid match, so the full cost is borne by Illinois taxpayers.
That’s on top of the healthcare spending on “asylum seekers” who are separately eligible for Medicaid. Wirepoints was not able to obtain those costs.

There’s also spending on housing, transportation, legal services and more for the asylum seekers. We estimated those costs earlier last year and they add up to hundreds of millions more.

The List of 23: policies hostile nations must be thrilled to see Illinois has adopted

By Mark Glennon* | Wirepoints
Imagine yourself as a hostile ruler who was particularly cunning and exceptionally smart about American politics. Suppose you thought you had a means to influence Illinois government. How much could you have gotten away with in recent years if you wanted to undermine the state from within?
Specifically, what’s the list of policies you would have tried to help put through that Illinois’ political establishment would have supported but that would be certainly end in failure and strife?
I mean policies that you could reasonably have hoped Illinois’ leadership would actually adopt, not openly hostile actions, illegal subversion, military actions or the like. Pretend you were a master at calculating the most you could get away with, and take the challenge seriously.
The list would have looked like the one below, and it’s already fully in place in Illinois. My point is not that these policies resulted from foreign influence. To the contrary, and worse, no foreign influence was required for their adoption.
This column is prompted by a recent, similar piece about national issues by Bill Ackman, a prominent financial expert, listing 33 such polices that loom or are already in place at the national level. There’s some minor overlap and I included a few of his verbatim, but his point applies just as forcefully to Illinois on different matters.
Here’s what might have been an imaginary foreign adversary’s wish, adopted gratuitously by our own elected leadership:
- Turn a blind eye toward failing public schools, especially in poor, urban areas where they are most needed.
- Extend welcoming and sanctuary policies drawing in over 600,000 illegal border crossers not screened for their risk to the country or suitability to our employment needs, at the expense of our own citizens, costing Illinoisans alone something around $6 billion per year.
- Introduce dozens of new and unnecessary laws and rules, overburdening employers and interfering with businesses’ ability to compete, spiking prices by restraining the efficient creation of energy, housing, food and virtually every consumer good.
- Incite division by teaching our students and citizens that the nation is comprised only of the oppressed and oppressors who are implicitly biased, ruling over a rigged system that’s systemically racist.
- Endorse the election of state’s attorneys who won’t prosecute violent criminals and who make shoplifting (except above large thresholds) no longer a criminal offense. Cook County’s Kim Foxx, for example, was endorsed twice by the entire Illinois political establishment.
- Give any two employees anywhere the right to collectively bargain over any matter they choose, and make that right fundamental and constitutional, as was done by Amendment 1 in 2022.
- Choose an inferior candidate for the presidency when other much more qualified candidates are available and interested to serve.
- Impose DEI policies to award jobs, recognition, and university admissions not on the basis of either merit or disadvantage, but blindly on the basis of race, sexual identity and gender criteria.
- Incite puplic outrage by letting biological boys and men compete in girls and women’s sports, depriving girls and women of scholarships, awards, and other opportunities they would have rightly earned otherwise.
- When overwhelming evidence says the state’s population and tax base are fleeing, simply deny the numbers as the Pritzker Administration still does.
