Dems in bankrupt Illinois enact law to give student financial aid & benefits to illegal immigrants.
Remember when the libs on this board were saying, "They are not getting taxpayer benefits"?
Pritzker. Oh man.

The more desperate the left becomes, the more they have to import voters and buy votes. CPS is
effectively bankrupt and laying off over 1,000 teachers, but their lunatic mayor will fight to the death to keep the illegals and provide them with benefits.
California, same thing with a $12 billion shortfall because they are providing benefits to illegals.
Untrue due to willful ignorance…read my rebuttal to Baron.

A billionaire Democratic Socialist!
The Dems are trampling over one another to promote as many crazy unpopular polices as possible.
The fact of the matter is that when polled about Mamdani’s policies…without his name mentioned…
Americans all across the country overwhelmingly approved of them. I’ve already posted the link supporting that statement. Once again, Mamdani is 100% on the side of our democracy…Trump… not so much.
Let’s see if he gets elected…and then how he performs.
Sure seems that way, doesn't it? And it's not just the U.S. People are waking up at least.

The voters in Chicago, its collar counties & Springfield are down with the cause.
Backed by the CTU. Remember, Illinois Gov Jelly Belly would have no power if it wasn't for those voters.....twice. He's the king of buffetts and redistricting.
I lived in both IL and CA before they turned to shit. It's a case of boiling the frog.
It's incremental change over time, and before you know it, things are shit and it's easier to leave than stay.
More blind hatred of innocent undocumented immigrants who already work here and pay taxes
without getting all the benefits of those taxes. Heaven forbid if a Hard Working person, who has been here for many years while awaiting final resolution of their status, seeks to improve their lot in life through higher education. They aren't criminals, and by taking the extra effort to educate themselves, it's highly unlikely they'll ever take the criminal path.
...here's an AI summary of the situation for undocumented immigrants...
--------------------
AI Overview
Based on current research, here's an overview of the number of undocumented immigrants working and paying taxes in the U.S.:
Undocumented Population: There are an estimated 11 to 13.7 million individuals living in the United States without legal status.
Workforce Participation: A significant majority of these individuals are in the workforce. In 2022, 74.1% of the unauthorized immigrant population were employed, representing almost 5% of the total U.S. workforce and 3% of the total U.S. population. Undocumented immigrants play vital roles in various sectors, including agriculture, construction, hospitality, and service industries.
Tax Contributions: Despite lacking legal status, undocumented immigrants pay a substantial amount in taxes:
In 2023, households led by undocumented immigrants paid $89.8 billion in total taxes, including $33.9 billion in state and local taxes and $55.8 billion in federal taxes.
A 2022 study found that undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in taxes that year, with $59.4 billion going to the federal government and $37.3 billion to state and local governments.
These payments include sales, property, income, and payroll taxes.
Paying into Systems Without Benefit Eligibility: Undocumented immigrants pay into social insurance programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment Insurance through payroll deductions. However, they are largely ineligible for these benefits.
Impact on Tax Rates: In many states (40), undocumented immigrants pay a higher effective state and local tax rate than the wealthiest 1% of residents in those states.
Impact of Legalization: Providing work authorization and a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants would likely lead to an increase in their tax contributions.
Estimates suggest an increase of $40.2 billion per year, primarily due to higher wages and improved tax compliance rates.
