Rep. Fitzgerald Attends Judiciary Committee Field Hearing in Milwaukee

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) attended a House Judiciary Committee field hearing in Milwaukee titled: "The Biden-Harris Border Crisis: Wisconsin Perspectives."

"President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' open-border policies have enabled our southern border crisis and have negatively impacted Wisconsin communities. Take Whitewater, for example, where the local police department estimates nearly 800-1,000 foreign nationals have settled since just 2022. These kinds of numbers have a tremendous strain on a community whose population is just 15,000," said Rep. Fitzgerald. "Today's Judiciary Committee field hearing in Milwaukee allowed us members, and the public, to cut through the noise and hear directly from local experts about the difficulties this crisis has brought upon our nation's communities. It was an important conversation, and I appreciate every single witness for sharing their unique testimony."
