Illinois has seen nearly 30,000 migrants arrive since August
2022, which has left many communities in need of help and
several others refusing to take part in sheltering those
arrivals. City and state taxpayer funds to deal with the crisis
have totaled nearly $700 million in the past year.
State Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, visited the border last
week to see firsthand and explained what he saw.
"It was an eye-opening experience, to say the least," Halbrook
said. "I would advise everybody who is involved with
policymaking to take a trip down there to see what the real
story is because you get the truth when you are down there on
the ground."
