Illinois Republican state senator Chapin Rose accuses the state's 'sanctuary state' policies, enacted by Democrats, of contributing to deaths, citing a recent fatal crash involving an undocumented immigrant. Rose argues that these policies put people's lives at risk and are a direct consequence of the Democratic party's actions. Meanwhile, Governor Pritzker defends the policies, stating they protect law-abiding immigrants and that the Trump administration poses a greater threat.
A Republican state senator says migrant sanctuary policies enacted by Illinois Democrats are "getting people killed."
Pritzker said the more than a billion in tax dollars spent on the issue is meant to keep people safe. He relayed a story from Urbana last weekend, where two women were killed in a crash and the driver fled. The suspect was later arrested near the Mexico border. Reportedly, he was in the country illegally.
Pritzker stands by laws he enacted that he said protects illegal immigrants who are otherwise law abiding.
