U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman during his speech at the GOP state convention today said undocumented immigrants are coming to the U.S. because the Biden Administration won’t enforce immigration laws. “They’re coming here because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, both now and in the campaign, made it clear that they’re not going to enforce the laws,” said Grothman, R-Glenbeulah.

Speakers during a panel discussion at the GOP state convention today encouraged activists to become poll workers for the November 2022 election. “Wisconsin is going to be a target with Ron Johnson running,” said Rep.

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, ahead of a possible bid for a third term, said he is “more panicked” for America than when he first decided to run for office.
