Controversial Move by Governor Pritzker: Extending Student Financial Aid to Undocumented Immigrants Upsets Illinois Parents

TDS-Riddled Pritzker Extends Student Financial Aid to Illegal Aliens, and Illinois Parents Are Ticked Off

Embattled — and miserably failed — Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker recently gloated that he lives “rent-free” in President Donald Trump’s head. Quite the claim — and quite ridiculous, as well.

While the far-from-starving governor of the heavily gerrymandered Democrat state appears to have visions of grandeur in his TDS-riddled head, if anything, it’sTrump who lives rent-free in his head. 

Now, let’s get to Pritzker’s most recent intentionally created controversy. 

Parents of school children across Illinois are outraged over a new law signed by Pritzker that expands student financial aid eligibility to illegal aliens. Yes, really.

Michelle Cunney, an Illinois mother and leader of a local Parents’ Rights in Education chapter, told Fox News Digital that the new law is a “nightmare.”

To be honest, it’s terrifying that not only are we having to pay for this, as you know, tax-paying citizens … But also, as parents, not knowing how it will really truly end up affecting our children and their education.

We know that the children who are not here legally will get … more of a chance and an opportunity to get scholarships and everything than our children, because to Pritzker, and so many others, we are not important. We are not anything other than money.

Could Michelle Cunney be any more right? Particularly with respect to her observation that, in the eyes of Democrat politicians, people and their money are to be exploited to fund narratives and initiatives intentionally designed to pander to disparate groups? 

Earlier in August, Pritzker signed the controversial bill, which opened student financial aid benefits to all residents of Illinois — regardless of immigration status. The bill, which claims to establish “equitable eligibility for financial aid and benefits” for all students in the state, reads in part (emphasis, mine):

A student who is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, including, but not limited to, a transgender student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective service or a noncitizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence, shall be eligible for financial aid and benefits.

If the “but not limited to” part caught your eye, you’re not alone. 

Far be it from me to speculate, but does Pritzker’s law apply to, say, pro-Hamas, antisemitic students? Or, children of cartel drug lords? The list could be endless — given the Illinois governor’s defiance of all things Donald Trump, which, in this case and others, equates to all things legal and in the best interests of America.
