Under the Pritzker administration, Illinois has spent over $3 billion on services for migrants and illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, services for vulnerable citizens remain underfunded. House Republicans argue that the state's sanctuary policies have led to increased costs for taxpayers and compromised community safety.

"Democrats’ sanctuary state policy has cost Illinois taxpayers billions and made our communities less safe," a statement reads. The party continues to advocate for immigration reform and a budget prioritizing the needs of working families and seniors in Illinois over those of illegal immigrants.
