This last week Democrats passed legislation allowing out-of-state illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition rates at all Illinois public universities.
You can’t make this stuff up.
At a time when college tuition is already too expensive for many Illinois families, the out-of-touch Left wing politicians have decided to expand benefits to people who are not even legal residents of our country. Once again, the taxpayers who play by the rules are being asked to take a back seat.
Supporters of the bill claim it will help more students access higher education. What they fail to mention is that somebody has to pay for it. University bureaucracies are happy because it means more students and more revenue flowing into their institutions. Meanwhile, Illinois families continue to struggle with rising tuition costs, higher taxes, and the growing cost of living.
I believe our priority should be making college more affordable for Illinois residents and their children, not creating new benefits for those who ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
That’s why I voted no. Illinois families deserve to come first.
