The Last Outpost of Common Sense

Unless and until Illinois’ village idiots change their voting habits, there will be no relief for Illinois taxpayers.

Beyond health care, Illinois has allocated $478 million since 2023 for migrant benefits through the Welcoming with Dignity initiative. This money has gone to migrant welcome centers, housing, emergency food, resettlement services and rental assistance.

These overruns come as the state struggles to fund its budget, largely relying on gimmicks and one-time revenue to cover deficits. Amid these fiscal challenges, Pritzker is set to testify before Congress on June 12 regarding state immigration policies. U.S. Rep. James Comer has accused the governor of obstructing federal immigration enforcement and demanded explanations for prioritizing migrant spending over taxpayer concerns.

Illinois’ village idiots need to get their heads straight. Taxpayers deserve better rather than broken promises, tax and spend and mismanagement.
