Cards for Illegal Immigrants

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, everybody is obsessed with inflation, as well they should be obsessed, but there are so many stories out there that the mainstream media is not covering that the American public ought to be aware of.

Right now, ICE is proposing identification cards for illegal immigrants. First of all, we have a situation in which there are over 170,000 people allowed in this country every month who should probably not even be here illegally.

Why is this?

Already we promised free healthcare, and I think in many cases people coming here illegally are getting more healthcare or easier access to healthcare than people are originally. They are allowed to travel all around the country.

Now there is already a concern in my State that many illegal immigrants are getting public benefits, as well. I am afraid that these cards will be used to further solidify the programs to give free public benefits to those people who shouldn't be here.

I hope the press looks into it.
