Rep. Jerry Carl: Migrants receive taxpayer dollars

It’s no secret the Biden-Harris Administration has failed the American people. Our border is an utter disaster with absolutely no enforcement from the White House to keep illegal migrants out.

Not only are we being flooded by thousands of illegal immigrants walking over our Southern Border, but it is totally unaffordable for Americans to live anymore. Everything at the grocery store costs much more, and families can barely make ends meet. To make matters even worse, illegal migrants are receiving free services like housing and cell phones from the Biden-Harris Administration.

American families have been suffering from skyrocketing inflation since Biden took office, yet in a recent report, a Venezuelan migrant was recorded to have over a $13,000 EBT food stamp balance and over $4,000 EBT cash balance. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are mortgaging the future of every American family to pay for handouts to illegal immigrants.

The vast majority of American citizens are struggling to make ends meet, while these benefits are going to people who have no right to be here in the first place.

Free housing, healthcare, cell phones, and internet—everything is free if you come to the United States illegally. Our border is wide open, and benefit after benefit is being handed to those who just walk right over our border. Illegal immigrants are prioritized higher than American citizens by the Biden Administration.

Biden’s backwards way of running our nation must end now. We must continue to fight to get back on the path to prioritizing our veterans, our taxpayers, and the American family.

While our senior citizens have worked and paid countless hard-earned dollars throughout their whole lives, migrants are cashing in thousands from the federal government simply by being here. And, this is not free money—the American people pay for it. Our children and grandchildren will pay for it. As the national debt keeps on growing, illegal immigration numbers rise, and programs like Social Security run thin, change has never been needed more than now.

The Biden-Harris Administration knows what is going on at our Southern Border and how much the American family is struggling, yet they do nothing about it. Shutting the border down is common sense and the first step to fixing the mess our country is in.

This is why I helped pass the strongest immigration bill the House has ever voted on, and I have continued doing everything I can to end the Biden-Harris Border Crisis. I will not stop fighting to put the American people first.
