                      CARDS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, everybody is obsessed with inflation, as 
well they should be obsessed, but there are so many stories out there 
that the mainstream media is not covering that the American public 
ought to be aware of.
  Right now, ICE is proposing identification cards for illegal 
immigrants. First of all, we have a situation in which there are over 
170,000 people allowed in this country every month who should probably 
not even be here illegally.
  Why is this?
  Already we promised free healthcare, and I think in many cases people 
coming here illegally are getting more healthcare or easier access to 
healthcare than people are originally. They are allowed to travel all 
around the country.
  Now there is already a concern in my State that many illegal 
immigrants are getting public benefits, as well. I am afraid that these 
cards will be used to further solidify the programs to give free public 
benefits to those people who shouldn't be here.
  I hope the press looks into it.
