Gov. JB Pritzker met with Pres. Joe Biden for 45 minutes during Biden’s Thursday Illinois visit.
Pritzker’s “asks” on the migrant crisis, as reported by Politico, were for humanitarian aid, expedited work permits for asylum seekers not covered by Biden’s “temporary protected status” actions and federal coordination to protect asylum seekers from Chicago winter.
How about, “Please enforce the border”?
Nope, no mention of anything like that.
In short, Pritzker asked for federal help only on things that would make Illinois a more attractive destination for migrants.
