() The United States Department of Justice announced it is suing the state of Illinois for its laws providing in-state tuition and scholarships for migrants.

The DOJ argues the laws unconstitutionally discriminate against U.S. citizens, who are not afforded the same reduced tuition rates or scholarships, and are in direct conflict with federal law.

“Under federal law, schools cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi in a press release.

“This policy treats illegal aliens better than U.S. citizens living in other states and incentivizes even more illegal immigration, all on the taxpayer’s dime. Illinois citizens deserve better,” added U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft.

In addition, this lawsuit follows two executive orders, Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders and Protecting American Communities From Criminal Aliens, which were signed by President Trump, requesting that migrants be unable to secure taxpayer benefits or preferential treatment.
