Elgin’s Daily Courier-News Continues to Cover Fact that All Kids Health Care is for Illegals
I continue to be astounded that there have not been major articles revealing that Governor Rod Blagojevich’s new All Kids health care program has children who are in the country illegally as its primary beneficiary.

So far, a similar headline has not appeared in the state’s three largest newspapers, although the information did sneak into an Associated Press article and the Daily Herald last week.
