Democrats have been advocating for resettling the entire third world in the United States, but reality is now rapidly coming back to bite them.

The staggering cost of catering to illegal immigrants is now leading the states Democrats govern to financial ruin – with Illinois becoming one of the most blatant cases in hand.

Fresh estimates now show Illinois incurred over $1 billion in spending on healthcare services for illegal immigrants. In 2020, Illinois became the second state in the nation to decide Medicaid coverage should be extended to illegal migrants.

The first was, of course, woke-run California, which did so already in 2019. Yet, even though Illinois Democrats wanted to cover all illegal immigrants, the state had some sense and limited the coverage to migrants aged 65 or above.

As federal law bans illegal migrants from federal healthcare programs, states that do provide them with coverage do so with state funds.

Yet, subsequently, Illinois’ Medicaid coverage for migrants was expanded twice and now covers everyone aged 42 or above.

Some Democrats are insisting on covering all illegal immigrants over 19, but their demands are in trouble. The respective healthcare spending spiked much faster than expected, Hot Air reports.

In February, Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker allocated $220 million for the migrant healthcare spending program during the next budget year. However, three months later, the budget estimate climbed to more than $1.1 billion.

The massive cost has “blown a hole” in Prizker’s new budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, which is the first one after his reelection.

The situation is barely better in the current budget year. The $220 million slated for the purpose of giving illegal immigrants free healthcare was insufficient. Thus, Illinois’ actual spending surpassed $400 million – and there are two more months to go.

According to a GOP state senator, Dave Syverson, Illinois is seeing the respective costs spike by 10% monthly. The reason for that is it’s the first state in the nation to attempt “something like this.”

He emphasized that Illinois became a magnet for sick illegal immigrants and was literally inundated with such individuals. That is hardly surprising, as Joe Biden’s administration aided and abetted almost seven million invaders to waltz into America.

Naturally, Chicago’s new Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, is already complaining about the costs his city is paying for hosting illegal migrants.
