Illinois Governor Pritzker has recently unveiled a historic budget proposal totaling $52.7 billion, the largest in the state's history. As part of this budget, there are plans to allocate a significant amount of funding towards supporting migrants in the state.

According to Rep. Dennis Tipsword, there are concerns about the allocation of taxpayer dollars towards illegal migrants. He expressed his apprehension stating, "Governor Pritzker just proposed the largest budget in state history... preparing to spend hundreds of millions more of YOUR taxpayer dollars on illegal migrants. Increased taxes and threats to our public safety are sure to follow. We need to repeal Illinois’ Sanctuary State status now for the sake of our families and our communities."

The proposed budget and the allocation of funds towards migrants have sparked a debate among lawmakers and residents in Illinois. Critics are worried about the implications of increased spending on migrants and its potential impact on public safety and taxation in the state. The call to repeal Illinois' Sanctuary State status is being advocated by those who are concerned about the welfare of their families and communities.

As discussions around the budget continue, the fate of the proposed funding for migrants remains uncertain. Governor Pritzker's budget, if approved, could signify a significant shift in state spending priorities, particularly in the realm of migrant support and services.
