This won’t be the last story. I can prove illegal aliens get Illinois child care subsidies, maybe even more than citizens get. Keep reading.
Illinois’ ruling class hides information by letting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) administer the programs they create. The state shovels your money to them—and the trail ends there. Connecting the dots is required.
Illinois really wants to replace the population that has left with people here illegally. They have spent BILLIONS of tax dollars doing it. The latest I’ve found is child care.
Refer back to this story: https://blnnews.com/2026/01/16/the-local-ngos-tax-return-inccrra/
It shows the money thrown at an organization called INCCRRA, which is located in Towanda Plaza, dramatically increased in 2020. What happened in 2020? Open borders.
INCCRRA is the organization (located in Towanda Plaza) in charge of a LOT of spending under various names. Don’t try to talk to them without an appointment, the doors are locked.
Just three of the names:
Illinois Cares For Kids
Birth to Five
ExceleRate Illinois
All 3 are administered through the INCCRRA office in Towanda Plaza. They aren’t the only 3. Websites are available in English or Spanish.
This link was created for Illinois Cares for Kids to locate a licensed daycare provider: https://www.illinoiscaresforkids.org/provider-search/ci-Normal/ct-11001/cl-13691-13690-13689-13823/-en-US
It defaults to Normal because I wanted to look at a small number of providers, most are home daycares. 24 licensed providers are listed. 7 of the 24 listed show the provider is licensed for a higher number than the State website says they are. State license website: https://sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov/Content/Licensing/Daycare/ProviderLookup.aspx
The Illinois Cares for Kids website doesn’t have any daycares listed with lower numbers than licensed, only higher. Illinois Cares For Kids allows for 27 more kids than licensed. Is that incompetence or a plan? Remember, this is just in Normal. The “no way to know” question is: are the families of 27 kids getting daycare at taxpayer expense when the providers aren’t licensed for the higher number?
Now look at the Frequently Asked Questions section of this website: https://www.illinoiscaresforkids.org/ccap-faq
Do I have to be a U.S. resident/citizen to apply?
No, you do not need to have U.S. citizenship to apply and receive Child Care Assistance in Illinois.
Applying for or receiving Child Care Assistance will not affect immigration status. Your child does not need citizenship to get benefits.
On the application, you will be asked about the citizenship status of your children enrolled in child care. This is to figure out the correct funding and is not considered for CCAP eligibility.
Why does citizenship status affect the “correct funding”?
Another Frequently Asked Question:

Next, jump to this page: https://www.illinoiscaresforkids.org/infant-en/early-care-and-education/child-care-assistance-program
It looks to me like these benefits are paid directly to the parents though the Towanda Plaza NGO:
Is the Illinois Cares For Kids spending on “immigrants” included in the billions government has admitted to spending?
Since it goes through an NGO, I doubt it.
Does INCCRRA receive any federal funding or only state funding?
We don’t know the answer to that one!
How do we get it on the DOJ’s radar so they can get on it?
Right now citizens need to know and democrats need to explain why
Yes — INCCRRA does receive federal funding, because a major part of its work is funded through the federal Child Care & Development Fund (CCDF), which flows through the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to CCR&Rs and INCCRRA. https://idec.illinois.gov/content/dam/soi/en/web/idec/documents/resources-materials-and-reports/illinois-early-childhood-programs-and-funding-streams-guide-march-2025.pdf?utm_source=copilot.com
Look at page 6 and you can understand how fraud and waste are built into government programs.
Illinois Cares For Kids website lists these funding sources: Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development (GOECD) Illinois Department of Children & Family Services (IDCFS) Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Birth to Five Illinois Emergency Preparedness
Funny how they left out Federal sources.
According to an estimation by AI, funding is estimated to be 80% federal and 20% state. 100% tax payers
Also shown in the link above –
Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) (which funds INCCRRA)
For Illinois –
Total Funding: $1.27 Billion in FY23 (GRF – State, TANF – Federal, CCDF – Federal)
Administrator: IDHS-DEC
Who has the DOJ’s number? They need to be called
Google
Both.
Democrats buying votes.
We need a listing of the owners, licensed/unlicensed that receive state or federal funding for all Childcare facilities in McLean County, B/N.
Once we have their license number it’s easier to determine ownership, how many they are licensed for, find out state and federal funding aid received, where the owners live (if local or absentia), view the property for actual use, following regulations, etc., find out How many children are licensed versus square footage, etc.

Go to the Jimmy Dore Show podcast list and listen to: “The Real Story Behind The Minnesota Somali Welfare Scandal.” Dore attended Illinois State and is a comedian that comments on social issues but has had a serious podcast for several years on Spotify. They are all easily accessible by going to his website. This garbage involves our own federal government and other foreign countries. It’s been planned for years. The establishment of the new country Somaliland is ground zero.
Are they hiring? I’ll apply for a job there and then be a whistleblower to dismantle them from within!!!
Ok, Batman. You have to be actually qualified to get a job, or at least before DEI you did.
We’re also funding Israel and giving billionaire elites tax breaks. Look at that ratio.
Pritzker hotels is one. Israel buys our military equipment and gives us technology for free. Nice try
