Florida Congresswoman Blasts Biden After Report Claims Millions of Taxpayer Dollars Spent on Illegal Immigrants

A recent report from the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement claims President Joe Biden (D) and his administration are using tens of millions of taxpayer dollars for “services supporting illegal aliens, often through left-wing nonprofit organizations.” Representative Laurel Lee (R-FL) spoke about this report on Fox Business and gave her take.

“So, what we know is that the Biden administration has been abusing the parole and asylum process throughout the administration to let millions of people into this country who should not be here, who have no lawful basis to be here,” said Rep. Lee. “And this report details exactly what the federal government has been doing with these people. And so, we know they've been providing housing, they've probably been providing services, even legal counsel in some cases, and it shows that millions of dollars are being expended by our government to take care of these people who should not even be in our country in the first place.”

Moreover, the Florida congresswoman publicly declared her support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

This bill includes provisions to ensure that only United States citizens – not illegal immigrants – can vote in U.S. elections by requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.

In June, the New York Post reported that 49 states in the Union are actively providing voter registration forms without the necessary proof of citizenship.

Rep. Lee said there isn’t a good reason not to support this bill despite President Biden’s denouncement of the legislation, claiming it would not do anything to properly safeguard elections.

“Democrats are opposing it. They apparently believe that this isn't something that we need to focus on and ensure isn’t happening. So, what the SAVE Act also does is ensure that election officials have access to the information and tools they need to keep their voter rolls clean. So, the first step is ensuring that it is crystal clear that only US citizens can vote in US elections. But the second step is making sure that elections officials can actually access databases like Social Security, like Homeland Security, to ensure that they can check and see if somebody registers to vote that they are in fact a citizen of this country. So, there is no legitimate reason to oppose that kind of thinking and that kind of law unless, in fact, they do want people who are not citizens of this country to be able to slip through the cracks and vote in our elections,” said Rep. Lee.

Laurel Lee represents Florida’s 15th Congressional District.
