Thread: Mo Brooks: ‘Illegal aliens are a plague on America’

Republican Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-5) released a statement on Tuesday regarding two bills that he has recently sponsored that would provide the necessary funding to build President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.

Brooks said, “A country that cannot defend its borders is no country at all.”

“Congress, generally, and open border Democrat Congressmen and Senators, in particular, betray America by failing to secure our border,” he outlined. “In 2016, Sixty-three million Americans voted to secure America’s borders. The concept and reasoning is simple. A country that cannot defend its borders is no country at all. Americans do not want their future degraded to that of a two-bit, third-world nation. Yet, that is where we are headed if we do not act soon to enforce America’s already very generous immigration laws.”

The first bill, entitled the “50 Votes for the Wall Act,” was introduced days ago by Congressman Bradley Byrne (AL-1). Yellowhammer News’ coverage of that bill can be found here.

The other piece of legislation mentioned is the “Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act of 2018.”

“Consistent with my loyalty to America, I’ve cosponsored Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s ‘Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act of 2018′ and Alabama Congressman Bradley Byrne’s ’50 Votes for the Wall Act.’ Both enhance America’s national security by protecting America’s borders,” Brooks explained.

He continued, “The ‘Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act of 2018′ provides full border wall funding, supports federal immigration enforcement officers, defunds sanctuary cities, stiffens sentences for criminal illegal aliens who reenter the country, and expedites deportation of dangerous illegal alien criminals. The ’50 Votes for the Wall Act’ neuters open borders Democrat Senator obstructionism by allowing a majority vote to pass legislation (rather than the 60 vote passage threshold normally required).”

Brooks is widely known as one of the staunchest advocates of increased border security in Congress. He is also the sponsor of House companion legislation (H.R. 2186) to Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) “EL CHAPO Act,” which would fund the border wall using assets forfeited to the U.S. Government as a result of the criminal prosecution of El Chapo, the former leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, as well as other drug lords.

In the conclusion of his statement, Brooks called illegal immigrants “a plague on America.”

“Let me be very candid, illegal aliens are a plague on America. Illegal aliens take American jobs and suppress American wages,” Brooks emphasized. “Too often, illegal aliens live off welfare and taxes paid by American families and commit crimes that hurt or kill Americans. Far too often, illegal aliens vote in American elections, each time canceling the lawful vote of an American citizen. Each illegal alien vote is a direct threat to our Republic’s democratic process.”

The congressman from North Alabama also mentioned the caravan of illegal immigrants that is moving towards the southern border of the United States. Brooks supports Trump using the military to keep the caravan out of the country.

“With a caravan of thousands brazenly hell-bent on illegally crossing our border and assaulting our national sovereignty, now more than ever is the time to secure our border. Congress must act. Failing that, President Trump must fulfill his commander-in-chief duties and employ America’s military to protect American lives, America’s sovereignty, and America’s southern border,” Brooks concluded.

Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!

Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.
