Glenn Grothman: “I hope the American public is paying attention as we have three bills moving through here, including the reconciliation…”

“I hope the American public is paying attention as we have three bills moving through here, including the reconciliation bill. In the year that we just finished, which included some supposedly once-in-a-lifetime COVID spending bills, 41 percent of the money spent by the government was borrowed. President Biden has laid out his dream for what will happen in fiscal year 2022, and now that we are back to normal, he still is borrowing 31 percent of the budget. Think about that. That would be like saying if you are making $60,000 a year, next year I am going to spend $90,000 a year. The top line numbers on this are just unbelievable. And these numbers are without taking into account the almost certain increases in interest rates that we are going to have to pay on our Federal debt. I would say there are so many horrible parts of this bill, but I think the most dangerous part is, in addition to not funding the southern border, there are provisions in here clearly designed to have a dramatic increase in the number of illegal immigrants, which will turn into legal citizens. Right now, America is used to having about 800,000 a year sworn in as new citizens. Pro-immigration groups suggest that this bill would add, in one shot, over 10 million new immigrants. Just disastrous. Among other carrots to get more immigrants here, we are giving away free Pell grants, which is to say free scholarships if you come here illegally.…”
