New York City has initiated a program offering free travel tickets to migrants, encouraging relocation to other states. Among the chosen destinations, Illinois ranks second after Texas, with 8.5% of participating migrants opting for the Prairie State.
The Democratic leadership in Illinois has implemented policies providing benefits such as free healthcare, driver's licenses, and housing assistance to non-citizens. These measures have been designed to make the state more welcoming but have also raised concerns about their financial impact on taxpayers.
An official statement emphasizes the need to prioritize citizens' needs: "We must focus on the needs of our citizens to ensure our most vulnerable are taken care of and Illinois taxpayers can get relief."
