A state audit found taxpayers in Gov. JB Pritzker’s (D) Illinois paid out a whopping $1.6 billion for healthcare programs for illegal immigrants since 2020.
The news comes after Republican legislators pushed for the audit to be released, Fox News reported on Friday.
In regard to the audit, state Senate Republican leader John Curran said it showed there has been rampant overspending.
“And it also showed that the governor was unable to manage this program. Thousands of people were allowed to sign up for free healthcare for years on the state taxpayer dime that should not have been eligible under the parameters laid out for this program, and the governor failed to even seek federal reimbursement when eligible on certain services for years, leaving federal dollars on the table,” he explained.

Chicago: We tried the woke white Democrat machine politicians, we tried the woke black lesbian, and we tried the woke black BLM radical
Now we demand a woke globalist hispanic!
Hopefully those federal dollars are off the table. There needs to be consequences for actions. If you endorse programs, you should pay for it. Everyone needs skin in the game, You’ve run out of other people’s money. Sorry. Not Sorry.
sounds like an Ill voter problem to me. I have no F’s to give.
$1.6 billion spent. 12.7 million people in Illinois. That’s about $126 PER PERSON (not per tax payer), to support their own invasion/replacement by illegals.
I hate to break this to the other 49, but since money is fungible, it wasn’t just IL taxpayers...
Idiot Pride.
Democrats have so many ways to give the finger to American citizens. Add this to the lists.
Somebody needs to go to jail.
interesting. my F-meter broke too. in fact everyone I know who used to have one has thrown it out because it broke and they’re too expensive to fix. seems to be going around quick, fast and in a hurry. it’ll be a long time before I ever get another one.
Only $1.6 Billion? Pikers!
In a 2025 budget hearing, the California Department of Finance showed the state spending $9.5 billion for healthcare for illegals under Medi-Cal, with $8.4 billion from the state’s general fund.
Dammit, Janet! It wasn’t gross mismanagement. It was what our Founding Fathers
described as plunder.
Thanks you Chicago. We Texans won’t have to pay medical bills for foreigners.
can illini vote their way out?
Don’t worry, IL will still vote rat even with this news
