Pritzker defends Illinois' immigration laws in theatrical congressional hearing
Gov. JB Pritzker spent hours Thursday defending his governing record and Illinois' immigration policies as he was peppered with questions from members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
Rep. Mary Miller, a Republican from Hindsboro, accused Pritzker of "rolling out the red carpet for illegal aliens," adding "illegal aliens in our state have overwhelmed our communities."
"I am not going to be lectured to by someone who extolled the virtues of Adolf Hitler," Pritzker said, alluding to comments Miller made on Jan. 6, 2021.
