During CBS’s Iowa caucus coverage on Monday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) stated that the surge in Venezuelan migrants is the fault of 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because he “created the chaos that’s happened in Venezuela that’s caused so many people to leave that country and seek asylum in the United States.” And that while immigration will be “an important issue to people,” “what people really care about is their own well-being, their family’s well-being,” and economic issues are “things that really matter to people in their personal lives.”
Pritzker said, “Well, I think it’ll be an important issue to people, and people need to recognize that Democrats have been at the table looking for comprehensive immigration reform and border security for years now, literally decades. And Republicans are the ones unwilling to come to the table to negotiate and get something done. Once again, they’re backing away from the table, it appears, in Washington, D.C. So, I’m — unfortunately, I am not confident that we will see any kind of reform. And, once again, it’s the Republicans unwilling to work with the president.”

“Democrats have been at the table looking for comprehensive immigration reform”
What a blithering idiot. We have ALL the immigration laws we need. We need the will to enforce them, not ignore them like the Dems do.
“comprehensive immigration reform” = LET THEM IN!
He really thinks people are stupid. But course that statement went unchallenged by the mockingbirds.
Yep, he’s got the carbon footprint that can crack sidewalks. He’s a poster blob, I mean poster boy, of white privilege.
Pritzker can't possibly believe this.
He's attempting to deflect blame from Biden and his own Sanctuary City policies.
He is a trust baby. Grandson of Jay, who was something (Hyatt and other businesses). Trying to be relevent. Other than a political career, didn’t really do anything.
Give him credit here. A majority of people are in terms of what's really happening in this country and on the planet.
Why can’t some people be disallowed from running for office because they are just too effin’ stoopit?
No, it probably doesn’t affect cloistered billionaires much. Especially idiot ones that think Venezuela fell into destitution because of Trump.

The more the Democrat party fails, the bigger their lies have to become.
Venezuela is the end result of just what is going on in California right now, as the damage was all self-inflicted, by a home-grown macho man, Hugo Chavez, who wanted power propagated for his posse forever, much as the Newsom-Pelosi gang has been doing to California. Trump had nothing to do with the fall of Venezuela, except to totally withdraw any support of the regime that has unlawfully continued its grip on power even after being technically voted out of office, by creating a new legislature and disbanding the existing one.
Translated: give citizenship to all the illegals here now and we'll consider some laws to slow down illegal immigration sometimes in the future.
Chavez and Maduro did a fine job of wrecking Venezuela all on their own.

Nope, especially NY taxpayers:
"Eric Adams orders city agencies to cut budgets as migrant costs rise"
"Hochul to unveil $233B budget, including additional $1.9B for NYC’s migrant crisis"
Mayor Adams has ordered across-the-board spending cuts."
"The administration publicly declared their inability to pay for the influx of immigrants, the city quietly put out a notice that’s spending $20 million more on emergency hotels — and Adams ordered city agencies to cut a combined $1.1 billion each year over the next four years, according to the city’s Office of Management and Budget."
Hope they re-assess their voting habits.
Doesn’t affect billionaires much b/d they are fleeing the state for Florida.
Biden would wreck petroleum exporting countries worldwide.
Venezuela produces high C02 emission oil.
No, I don’t have illegal migrants roaming my neighborhood
But my state and county government are spending $$ many millions on them.
It also shows to me and everyone else that Democrats and the government they control, are completely LAWLESS.
So yes - it does impact me.
The Pritzker family owns an entire chain of hotels. How many “migrants” are in them right now?
