Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker demands Biden do something about migrant ‘crisis’ in the state

Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Monday called on President Biden to take “swift action” to address the federal government’s “lack of intervention and coordination” at the southern border.

Pritzker, in a letter to the 80-year-old president demanding federal assistance, said the influx of migrants has created an “untenable situation for Illinois.”

“Unfortunately, the welcome and aid Illinois has been providing to these asylum seekers has not been matched with support by the federal government,” Pritzker wrote. “Most critically, the federal government’s lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois.”

Some 15,000 migrants have sapped Illinois of resources in the 13 months since the arrival of the first bus of asylum seekers from Texas, Pritzker claimed.

Pritzker noted that his state has spent more than $330 million to provide humanitarian aid for the migrants, on top of more than $100 million contributed by the city of Chicago, but is struggling to handle the influx of asylum seekers.
