The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) is investigating the means by which some immigration sanctuary states extended $2.7 million dollars of unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants. The funds are being covered by taxpayer dollars, the same taxpayers currently facing price hikes and inflation.
From Breitbart:
“This is an insult to all those who are in the United States legally and abide by our laws,” IRLI Executive Director Dale Wilcox said in a statement. IRLI investigators estimate that if Washington, DC; New York, and Colorado grew their unemployment programs even more and the sanctuary state of California implemented its program designed to provide illegal aliens with jobless benefits, the cost to American citizens would be upwards of $4.35 million every year. “Unemployment benefits were meant to give assistance to U.S. citizens and legal residents facing temporary hardship,” Wilcox said. “Offering these benefits to foreign nationals is a powerful magnet to attract even more illegal border crossers.”
