Rep. Mo Brooks: ‘DACA Amnesty Is a Subversion of the Rule of Law, a Betrayal of American Families’

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that any form of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty will serve as a “subversion of the rule of law, a betrayal of American families.”

President Donald Trump continues to negotiate with congressional leaders on a potential deal to grant amnesty to DACA illegal aliens in exchange for Trump’s promised border wall, ending the visa lottery program and chain migration.

Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), a long opponent of illegal immigration, told Breitbart News that any form of DACA amnesty will serve as a “subversion of the rule of law, a betrayal of American families, who are struggling to find jobs to support those families; then, the vehicle does not make much of a difference.”

Brooks then explained to Breitbart News that restricting legal and illegal immigration will benefit the American worker.

He said, “It’s all about the numbers in the workforce: The fewer legal and illegal aliens there are in the workforce, the more money struggling American families will be paid, particularly through the blue-collar middle-income fields. The key is to decrease the overall influx of legal and illegal immigrants to the benefit of American workers. If there is a deal struck in which DACA illegal aliens are given amnesty, but overall, there is a significant reduction in the influx of foreign labor, then the American worker comes up ahead.”

Brooks argued that America needs to build the wall, end chain migration, and end the diversity visa.

“We need to have better border security, which includes the wall paid for by Mexico, which President Trump promised during the campaign. We need to include the elimination of chain migration. We need to include the elimination of the diversity visa. We need an overall reduction in the amount of lawful immigration to reverse the adverse effect the huge surge in foreign labor has had on American workers, wages, and families,” Brooks explained. “We need to dramatically change our laws that allow so many illegal aliens to claim asylum when none is really needed, and none should be granted. As long as we come up with a system that better protects the incomes of the struggling American families, then that’s a net gain.”
