Budget Update: $1 billion out of balance for Illinois

Session is expected to adjourn on May 24th and we have seen very little progress in the General Assembly. What we do know is Democrats have more magic tricks to pull from their radical rabbit hat, such as finding a sneaky way to pay for a budget that’s out of balance. Last year they passed a massive budget at 3:00 a.m. and this year we should expect the same maneuver with shell games.

Illinois residents deserve transparency and truth from Pritzker and his sidekicks, but all they get fed is a can of lies. The three course meal Democrats will serve up this year is $1 billion more in taxes, golden ticket handouts for illegal immigrants, and an election interference political game.

END ILLINOIS’ SANCTUARY STATE. REPEAL THE TRUST ACT!

Currently, the cost of providing services to undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers is costing taxpayers an estimated $2.84 billion from fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2025, which doesn’t even include education costs or other various state and local services. We must repeal the TRUST Act to end Illinois’ sanctuary state status and stop the flow of undocumented immigrants into Illinois.
