Governor J.B. Pritzker

And so we've got to just acknowledge those things and recognize that, of course, there's inefficiencies. People are all excited about, oh, a Department of Government Efficiency. That sounds great. But I have to say, not if they're taking away the things that really matter to you, like child care, like Meals on Wheels, like Medicaid.

Yeah. We've got to have an immigration policy that actually makes some sense. They showed up in Chicago, Tom Homan did, with Dr. Phil. in tow.

Listen, I think everybody in government could use a therapist. But the fact is that showing up with a television personality, I mean, it really tells you it's all for show. And, you know, they want to parade in front of the cameras the undocumented immigrants that they're finding when it turns out that, first of all, quite a number of the people that they rounded up are actually U.S. citizens.

And they just didn't, like none of us, walk around with our citizenship papers, right? That sounds an awful lot like Germany in the 1930s. And that's not something that, you know, so people got rounded up and taken to Guantanamo, and you've read some of the stories about that. Yeah. I so it's been it's been a, you know, a, you know, a terrible, you know, show for everybody.

First of all, and second of all, you know, you have to have a coherent policy. You can't just say we're going after all the undocumented immigrants. Let's start with the most violent, the people who've been convicted of a crime.

I think none of us out here, governors, you know, anybody believes that someone who's been convicted of a violent crime who's undocumented deserves to stay in this country. So fine, come get them. That's great. We've always wanted help trying to arrest people who are violent criminals. But, you know, they're not showing up at our prisons and our jails with guns.

from a court, which is all you need, right? And it would be easy to get to say, this person's undocumented, we should deport them. Why aren't they doing it? It's one of two things. Either they're smart enough to recognize that if you take people who are undocumented out of prison and then deport them and let them free, that they might end up coming back to the United States.
