Last week the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a disappointing decision upholding birthright citizenship. I stand with President Trump. Birthright citizenship is completely destructive and extremely costly. Giving the children of illegal immigrant’s full citizenship benefits is absolute insanity and a betrayal of American sovereignty.
It is especially outrageous here in Illinois, where Democrats bend over backwards to placate to illegals with our taxpayer dollars. Just look at our most recent budget, which handed over a massive $150 million chunk to them while hardworking Illinois families struggle under crushing taxes and failing services.
We cannot keep rewarding illegal immigration at the expense of American citizens. This policy encourages more illegal crossings, overwhelms our schools, hospitals, and welfare systems, and undermines the rule of law. Democrats in Springfield repeatedly put illegal immigrants ahead of our own people.
It is time to end this madness and put American citizens first. Illinois cannot afford to keep subsidizing open borders with our hard-earned tax dollars.
