UPFRONT: Rep. Steil wants immigration fixed instead of offering amnesty, says there’s plenty of jobs for Medicaid patients

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin Congressman Bryan Steil says there are plenty of chances for people on Medicaid to find work.

Speaking to WISN’s UPFRONT, the Janesville Republican said he sees plenty of open positions in his district.

“As you drive around communities here in Southeast Wisconsin, I think we see plenty of help wanted signs. Again, it’s about getting people back into the workforce and then into good and better-paying jobs,” Steil said.

Around 60-thousand Wisconsinites currently receiving Medicaid and Badgercare will now have to find work to keep those benefits under the recently passed Republican tax cut and spending bills.
