Taxpayer Protection — Prohibiting Public Benefits for Unauthorized Immigrants

"Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent in your district. I'm calling about HB 497, the bill to stop taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. You voted NO on this bill and I want to know why. Utah families are struggling with the cost of living while our tax dollars subsidize in-state tuition and driver privilege cards for people who broke the law to get here. I expect you to represent the people who elected you, not illegal immigrants. I'll be watching your vote next session. Thank you."

"Sen. [REP_NAME]: You voted NO on HB 497 to stop taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants. Utah families pay the price. We're watching. — A constituent"

"Subject: Your NO vote on HB 497 — Taxpayer Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Senator [REP_NAME], I am a Utah resident and your constituent. I am deeply disappointed by your NO vote on HB 497, which would have prohibited taxpayer-funded benefits — including in-state tuition, driver privilege cards, and non-emergency Medicaid — for individuals not lawfully present in our state. Utah families are paying the bill for benefits that go to people who broke the law to get here. 45% of DUI arrests in some counties involve unlicensed drivers. 40% of hit-and-runs involve uninsured motorists with privilege cards. You voted to keep funding this. I expect you to stand with the taxpayers who elected you. I will remember this vote. Sincerely, [YOUR NAME]"
