TUCSON, Ariz. — A Wisconsin congressman who got the sheriff called on him while trying to go inside a Tucson migrant hotel for an unscheduled visit is responding to reaction from the county and Casa Alitas.
Tiffany told me he believes more migrants are coming to the U.S. because they believe they will get help from NGOs like Casa Alitas.Tiffany said showing up like that was on purpose. A Pima County spokesperson, Mark Evans, said over $65 million in migrant assistance has been spent since 2019, mostly through FEMA.“The American taxpayer should not have to pay for that," Tiffany said.“We’re going to get people on the street, which we've been trying to avoid for five years," Evans said.
But Representative Tiffany tells me he’s not going to support further funding for migrant support in American cities. Casa Alitas said Congressman Tiffany and any federal lawmaker could get a tour of Casa Alitas if they go through the proper process to request one.
