Illinois Offers State Aid to Undocumented Immigrants

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a new bill into law, allowing undocumented immigrants and certain non-citizens to receive state-funded scholarships, grants, and tuition waivers, effective January 1st. The bill, known as House Bill four hundred sixty, amends the RISE Act and has been met with opposition from Illinois Senate Republicans and a lawsuit from the Trump administration, which argues it treats non-citizens as second-class citizens.
