6th District Congressman Glenn Grothman is among a group of Republicans who are looking into the Biden Administration’s plan to provide illegal immigrants identification cards.
Grothman, who is the Subcommittee on National Security’s Ranking Member, and the rest of the legislators penned a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Acting Director Tae Johnson requesting a briefing and access to all documents related to the program.
The lawmakers are concerned the new program will further incentivize illegal immigration and allow illegal aliens to improperly access housing, healthcare, and transportation benefits.
In the letter to Johnson, the lawmakers state, “We are concerned that this pilot program is yet another Biden Administration move encouraging illegal immigration by rewarding illegal immigrants for breaking our laws.”
In June 2022, U.S. Border Patrol made nearly 192,000 arrests of illegal immigrants at the southwest border, making the month the worst June on record.
