Gov. J.B. Pritzker suggests allowing the influx of migrants who have arrived in Illinois to be workers on farms throughout the state. Some question the idea. Around 12,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago and other parts of the state over the past year. At a stop in Decatur to the Farm Progress Show Tuesday, Pritzker was asked about utilizing such workers on farms.
Pritzker will be with members of Illinois’ Congressional delegation Wednesday to push for such work allowances. State Rep. Charlie Meier says there is no way to police who is coming to work on their properties.
The state recently signed legislation allowing certain migrants to become police officers.
