President Biden’s latest plan to throw $1 billion at illegal immigrants begs the question, what don’t Democrats want to throw free money at? Of course, the free money is funded by taxpayers,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “I’m absolutely appalled at this plan, it’s complete insanity that this Administration wants to reward individuals who broke our laws with a billion-dollar payout. This is a slap in the face to hardworking families in Wisconsin and will only further incentivize more migrant surges at the border.” ### Congressman Scott Fitzgerald was sworn in to the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021 and is proud to represent Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
