Rep. Fitzgerald Votes to Pass the Secure America Act to Fully Fund ICE and CBP

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to pass S. 2, the Secure America Act.

“Today, I was proud to vote to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, including ICE and CBP, through the reconciliation 2.0 process,” said Congressman Fitzgerald. “Republicans will never back down when it comes to border security. Democrats, on the other hand, have repeatedly voted against funding for ICE and CBP. Let us not forget that they shut down the entire Department of Homeland Security earlier this year because they refused to support the agencies responsible for enforcing our immigration laws. The partisan games officially end today with the passage of the Secure America Act, which secures long-term funding for ICE and CBP to ensure they have the resources they need to protect the American people.”

    The House vote was 214-212 with all Republicans voting “Yes” and all Democrats voting “No” so there is a difference between the parties. Also, you ever read those stories about Trump cronies selling properties (for supposed future detention centers) to ICE at massively inflated prices?
    (from a “More Perfect Union”),

    one warehouse in Surprise, Arizona, previously valued at just under $12 million, ICE paid over $70 million.
    another in Social Circle, Georgia, valued at about $30 million, the agency paid nearly $130 million
    Another in Salt Lake City, valued at just $97 million, was purchased by ICE for $145 million
    etc, etc,
    “The plan came from folks very close to the White House who were sitting on properties that were causing them losses every year. And the decision was made to buy them at taxpayer expense.”

    This animal voted to give ICE the equivalent of 1/2 the entire appropriation Congress gave the US Marine Corps.
    Every year for 4 years.
    For a lawless brutal killer J6 army aimed at Democrats.
    Substitute Jews for Democrats and you get who this guy is.
    Despicable filthy soulless.

    Fitzy. Nothing more than a worthless, spineless, gutless reTrumplican a-hole, who only does what Frump and deeply closeted Mike Johnson tell him to do. Now he can go back to sleep until the two-headed monster needs another mindless vote for something else that will make America more difficult to live, work, and raise a family.
