Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- In a press conference in the Capitol this week, Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie (R-Savanna) discussed the impact of the ongoing migrant crisis on the State of Illinois. She demanded greater transparency and accountability from Democratic leaders, calling the current situation something Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson “recklessly invited to our state.”
The Leader posed a number of questions, saying “instead of political grandstanding, let’s get to the bottom of what is going on. We are calling on the Immigration Committee to hold hearings immediately to get all of the facts.”
The questions McCombie demands answers to include:
- How much is this policy costing Illinois taxpayers?
- How many illegal immigrants/noncitizens have faced criminal charges and been released?
- How many crimes are connected to these illegal immigrants/noncitizens?
- How many incarcerated individuals in Illinois have an ICE detainer?
- What is Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson’s plan to address this crisis?
