Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker is using rental assistance funds meant for American citizens to house illegal border crossers.
Much like New York, Illinois is struggling to house illegal immigrants flooding into the state. Chicago’s O’Hare airport has been used to house some of them, but it’s not enough.
How do you suppose the people of Illinois feel about these funds being used in this way?
Breitbart News reports:
Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Diverts Citizens’ Rental Assistance Funding to House Illegal Aliens
Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has diverted rental assistance funding for struggling citizens and is using it to house illegal aliens.
The Illinois Rental Payment Program was set up to allocate up to $25,000 a year to individuals struggling to pay for their housing. In 2022, the Pritzker administration proudly noted that one billion dollars in state taxes had been pumped into the program to help people still struggling after the coronavirus pandemic.
When asked this month about his plans to pay for the increasing costs of housing caused by the illegal aliens pouring into the state thanks to President Joe Biden’s mounting border crisis, Pritzker said that he had been raiding the funds already allocated for other state programs meant to benefit citizens, programs including the rental assistance fund.
“We have taken some of the programs that have pre-existed the crisis and adjusted them to help with the migrant crisis,” Pritzker said, according to the Center Square. “Let me give you one example, our rental assistance program. We have provided some of that rental assistance money, which wasn’t originally intended to be about asylum seekers, for this challenge.”
The city of Chicago is supposedly at a breaking point.
Officials warn that Chicago is at its breaking point as a total of 17,000 migrants have arrived since last August and authorities expect 1,200 per day to keep coming.

This is all on Biden. If the people of Chicago are upset, they should complain to him.

When do we get to see some “black housing matters” riots?
IT’s just a matter of time (short time) before the smoke starts billowing. I don’t know how many stores are left to loot ... but they’ll find something.
It’s coming ... hard.
“How do you suppose the people of Illinois feel about these funds being used in this way?”
i’m sure they’re fine with it; after all, they’ve voted for Democrats for decades and will KEEP ON VOTING for Democrats ...
Well, blue states better prepare for the madness, after all, they voted for it.
Hopefully this wakes the brain dead lefties up, but if not, oh well.
Electing a new people
Almost 80% of this pricks votes came from cook county. The rest of the state is held hostage by the idiots who replaced beetlejuice with someone even worse.
You’d be surprised at how many D only voters are in the surrounding counties as well. :(
so we are using tax money to house illegals before we house our own citizens. what a screwed up state.

Arrogant beggars and welfare parasites.
Of course he did.

That is a damned army.

Democrats are dumping ‘the black community’ in favor of the ‘illegal community’... not so high maintenance...
Eventually, industries are formed to employ the residents, raw materials are exploited to make permanent the infrastructure, and businesses are created to furnish the residents with finished goods.
Trade begins with neighboring cities so that excesses in one city can be sold to acquire the excesses from another due to the differences in the availability natural resources from one region to another.
Ultimately, an equilibrium forms between the size of the cities and the infrastructures required to sustain them. It is into this balance of cities within our nation that Joe Biden dropped the equivalent of an entire new state's population in one year, and now stands back wondering why America's cities are collapsing from the sudden stress of new arrivals with no relevant skills and nothing but needs.
I once took a trip to Lagos Nigeria and was shocked to see how many young men were literally standing around with nothing to do on street corners and empty lots filled with shanties made up of scrap metal and wood as far as the eye could see. Biden has brought that level of squalor to our cities in just a few years.

Hey Jabba the Guv-
How about donating space in your Hyatt properties which miraculously seem untouched by federal confiscation of hotel rooms for invasion?
It’s the Chicago way.
An EXCELLENT point.
This "progressive" gaming of the system is what we saw years ago, when we were legal residents in Germany. With an influx of "migrants," some hoteliers emptied out their properties to fill with migrants, paid for by the federal government, because 100 percent occupancy was the game. When the properties were trashed, again the game was to get the government to pay. Rinse and repeat. Working taxpayers paid. The Lefty press looked the other way.
"The Pritzker family is an American family engaged in entrepreneurship and philanthropy, and one of the wealthiest families in the United States (staying in the top 10 of Forbes magazine's 'America's Richest Families' list since the magazine began such listings in 1982). Its fortune arose in the 20th century, particularly through the founding and expansion of the Hyatt hotel corporation.Privatize profit; make public the debt. Collect and collect some more.Family members still largely own Hyatt and, prior to its sale to Berkshire Hathaway, the Marmon Group, a conglomerate of manufacturing and industrial service companies. Their holdings also have included the Superior Bank of Chicago (which collapsed in 2001), the TransUnion credit bureau, Braniff airlines, McCall's magazine, and the Royal Caribbean cruise line."
