The state of Illinois is about to make it possible for illegal aliens to access state and local student financial aid. Governor J.B. Pritzker has already signed the law and it goes into effect on January 1st of 2026.
This is happening as the Trump Justice Department is suing various states over this exact issue. Student financial aid that is meant for American citizens should not be going to people who are in the country illegally.
This is an issue that goes directly to the core of what Trump has run on repeatedly. A law signed by Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL)

Just have ICE agents ready to help these illegals with their paperwork wherever the financial aid office is located.

This is what happens when you vote for Democrats. Illinois did this to themselves.

Dat right. They're human too, after all they deserve an education too. But not one dang penny of federal tax revenue. If they want an education then they can get it back where they came from, or not. But let's be practical subpoena the records of those who applied and thank Ill. for the help in rounding these deadbeats up for us.

Fork it over, Illinois taxpayers. What? Taxes too high? Move now, before they foreclose your house. Those poor illegals need a place to live.

Do American citizens from other states get the same sweet deals? No...then it is not fair or lawful. It is a "Full employment ploy" from an education factory mega corp....using taxpayers funds, subsidies, and guarantees. If you have the wherewithal do so fine...you do not need any federal support then, we can reset that account to zero, and cancel any further support. Same applies across the board, if you have publicly stated, or have been proven to give program support to people who do NOT qualify for that support, be it education, food, medical care, legal aid, housing, education, or other services you can do so on your own dime. If you refuse to ensure, nd block federal agencies from ensure that the programs are not being misused, youlose access to them...the same goes for voting, if you refuse to allow oversight to the "purity" of your voting, it is "Contaminated" and will not be accepted as an "Ingredient" to the "Melting pot". How many "Parts per Million" of contamination is allowed in food safety , water safety, air safety, fuel purity? The rest of us should not be subject to your desires to place turds in the Punchbowl, Stew Pan, or Melting Pot. Don't put rat-chit in the rice and tell us it's raisins.

If Illinois has the money to do this it no longer gets anything from the fed - taxpayers

Isn't Illinois the state that refused to pay off large lottery winnings in their state a couple of years ago because they could not afford to pay off those debts? Now they want to give
illegal aliens financial aid. How can they afford to do this? It was a trick question.
They can't.

Interesting hearing the activists and Democrats twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend the policy. Activists say that a college education would help when they entered the workforce. That might be true if they could LEGALLY work in the US. Pritzker says that the ILLEGAL students must first prove their legal residence in Illinois. Again, since they are ILLEGAL no residence should ever be considered legal. By virtue of being in Illinois ILLEGALLY, they can never establish any types of legal status or residence anywhere in the US.

Simply hack into the student aid website and identify those here illegally. Send the info to ICE. Problem solved.

If there is any Federal money in that largesse he had better forget it. Here's an idea. Why not give that aid to the children of the hard working people in that state first and if there is any money left lend it to the illegals, If they are still here when their time comes.

Can illegals take courses remotely from another country? What a joke.

Generally speaking, most states require someone to have lived in the state a certain amount of time before they are eligible for in-state tuition (e.g. being a resident).
Not sure IL can push their law unto the Federal Assistance For Student Aid (FASFA) either, so presume this is only State aide.
Sounds like they have Kings in Springfield with the rash of laws directing funds to up state and short changing down state residents, and then this nugget of legislation.

As long as it's state money, and not federal tax money, I couldn't care less. You get what you vote for, and apparently, people in Pritzkerland are OK with this. As long as I am not on the hook for this, they can give the illegals free, full education benefits.

Are Democrats doing this kind of stuff because they really care about illegal id higher education; or are they just doing it as a big FU to Donald Trump and those who oppose illegal immigration? Democrats are a spiteful bunch.
