Report confirms recipients ‘not eligible’ for federal support

There have been experiences all throughout the nation of native jurisdictions misusing COVID-19 influence cash distributed by the federal authorities, however now a report in The Federalist confirms an investigation has begun into a choice by officers in Madison, Wisconsin, to take $700,000 from that distribution and provides it to unlawful aliens.

The demand is from state Sen. Duey Stroebel, who stated, “The decision to use pandemic relief money to assist illegal immigrants at the expense of Wisconsinites reveals the out of touch priorities of Madison politicians.”

He’s begun an open data request to overview the town’s “questionable” use of federal funding.

The report defined the problem, “It appears city officials decided to do an end-around with their portion of the nearly $2 trillion in so-called ‘stimulus’ funds that were handed out — and simultaneously dumped onto the untenable U.S. debt — by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in response to the Covid pandemic.”

It documented how the Institute for Reforming Authorities’s Middle for Investigative Oversight confirmed the town gave $700,000 from State and Native Fiscal Restoration Funds to unlawful aliens.

The cash reportedly went from the grants to varied nonprofits who gave providers to unlawful aliens, although they largely had been “ineligible” to get direct federal or state support.

Town had reported its projectss deal with “the need to support programming, services and outreach for persons in the community who are undocumented. The pandemic has had a profound impact on undocumented residents particularly around employment and housing.”

It admitted, “These residents are not eligible, in some cases, to receive direct assistance provided by federal and state governments, and have been reluctant or unable, in others, to access resources for which they are eligible.”

So, Madison officers stated, they had been funding businesses to “deliver direct assistance to undocumented individuals and families.”

The intermediaries included, the report stated, RISE Wisconsin Inc., the Latino Academy of Workforce Growth, and the Group Immigration Regulation Middle, the report stated.

The Federalist identified that CILC is a recognized “left-of-center” authorized group that works to “prevent deportation of illegal immigrants.”

Town of Madison received greater than $42 million plus in aid funding, of which some $24 million was used for presidency providers. One other $22 million was for “communities … most impacted by the pandemic.”

“It is troubling to learn that the city of Madison is funneling taxpayer dollars intended to help Wisconsinites to illegal immigrants. Taxpayers need answers,” charged Jake Curtis, IRG’s basic counsel. “Our team at the Center for Investigative Oversight is committed to working with our state and federal partners to bring to light answers for the hardworking taxpayers of our state.”

The report gave proof that Democrat-led states gave out greater than $500 million in COVID money to illegals, together with, typically, $1,000 money handouts.

Stroebel warned, “Communities across this country are grappling with the consequences of the open border policies of the Biden/Harris administration. From the rise in fentanyl seizures at the southern border to the overwhelming of school services in Whitewater to the tragic murder of Laken Riley in Georgia, the immigration crisis is something that is impacting every state, including Wisconsin. The decision to use pandemic relief money to assist illegal immigrants at the expense of Wisconsinites reveals the out of touch priorities of Madison politicians.”

U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, of Wisconsin, blamed Biden and Democrats.

He stated the “massive” spending bundle failed to incorporate “clear requirements” for spending tax cash.
