Rep. Randy Fine to Newsmax: Dems Choose Migrants Over Troops

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., on Friday accused Democrats of prioritizing illegal immigrants over members of the U.S. military during the ongoing government shutdown, telling Newsmax that their actions are an “abomination.”

“I think Democrats know who it’s affecting, and I think they just don’t care,” the Florida Republican said on “Wake Up America Early.” “I think the priority is giving illegal immigrants free health insurance. And to hell with the rest of us. I mean, it’s an abomination that our military members are not getting paid while Democrat politicians continue to cash their checks.”

He said the shutdown has come down to a Democrat demand for “$200 billion over the next 10 years to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants in return for paying soldiers for the next seven weeks.”
