Yet, Illinois', and especially Chicago's, democrats are still going to support these illegals because that's where a large chunk of their votes come from. Why do you think Illinois is one of the states that refuses to hand over it's voter records.

Unless you live here, then I guarantee you it's up there somewhere at least in the top 3.

Again, unless you live here. If you live here, I guarantee that you are very, very aware of the severe illegal alien problem here.

And the first highest illegal alien population from Mexico outside of the southwest. This is a little known fact to people outside of Chicago.

Um, what this said.

But yet again, the crooked Illinois, and especially Chicago, politicians are willing to force the Illinois tax payer to pay for this so they can keep their illegal alien voter base. Welcome to Illinois.

Needless to say Illinois needs every dollar it can get its hand on. Unfortunately, many billions of dollars’ worth of government services (that are meant for citizens) are going towards illegal immigrants. These wasted dollars, and increased demand, reduces the quality of Illinois’ healthcare, education, and administrative services.

Illegal immigrants in Illinois (like the rest of the United States) take out more than they pitch in.

What he just said.
