CLAIM:
On Fox Business this morning, Mo Brooks continued his desperate ploy to associate himself with President Trump’s immigration plans:
“…I think it is wonderful that what President Trump is doing on national level, that the incentive for illegal aliens to come across our border has subsided…”
“…we need that wall in place for the next Barack Obama-type Administration.”
FACT:
Brooks Mocked Trump’s Border Wall As ‘Economically Nonsense’ and ‘A Fruitless Exercise’
VIDEO: Mo Brooks said “Donald Trump is not going to do what people think he’s going to do” on border security (MSNBC, 2/29/16).
“Brooks also described Trump’s immigration position on border security as being worse than Obama’s” (Adam Smith, “Mo Brooks talks debt, support for Ted Cruz,” The News Courier, 2/13/16).
Mo Brooks called Donald Trump’s immigration plan to build a wall and deport millions of illegal immigrants as “economically nonsense” (The News Courier, 9/20/15).
MO BROOKS: “He says he wants to build this great big wall with a great big door and deport all these illegal aliens, costing taxpayers billions of dollars in deportation costs… The only difference between Obama’s border policy and Trump’s amnesty policy is Trump wants to spend billions on a fruitless exercise.” (Adam Smith, “Mo Brooks talks debt, support for Ted Cruz” (The News Courier, 2/13/16).
SLF RESPONSE:
“Career Congressman Mo Brooks is desperately trying to sell himself to Trump supporters by embracing the same Trump immigration policies that he viciously mocked just months ago. Sorry, Mo—that dog won’t hunt.” –SLF Spokesman Chris Pack
