Dave Brat slams President Obama on immigration



By SARAH SMITH | 6/27/14 6:09 AM EDT

Republican congressional candidate David Brat blamed President Barack Obama’s policies that “sound nice” for the influx of undocumented child immigrants across the border from Central America.

“Some of the establishment and President Obama started putting in place bills that sound nice — the Kids’ Act, the DREAM Act, the ENLIST Act,” Brat said on Fox News’ “On the Record” Thursday night. Brat, the Republican candidate for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, rose to national prominence when he defeated incumbent House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

“The reason we have those thousands crossing the border is because of poor policy in the first place,” Brat added.

While Obama has taken steps on immigration from the executive branch and expressed support for legislation like the DREAM Act, Democrats have not been able to pass major reforms on immigration. Cantor’s loss to Brat was seen as a major blow to the chances of any action on immigration reform this year.

Good for Brat for coming out swinging!

What "new national policy" are you talking about?

Sorry MW. I was trying to make a sarcastic remark, new policy would be enforcing and government showing respect for law. Dave Brat seems to be the first to win on such tributes.
