Mo Brooks on Amnesty: ‘Power Grab’ Giving ‘Massive Election Advantage’ to Democrats
3:04 President Joe Biden and Democrats seek amnesty for millions of illegal aliens to get electoral advantage, said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Brooks described Democrats’ amnesty pursuit as an effort to push the electorate to the left.
“Past history suggests that in this election, in November, you had anywhere from 900,000 to 1.7 million illegal aliens illegally voting in the American election,” he said. “There’s another study that suggests that this type of voter votes Democrat 80 percent, Republican 20 percent, giving Democrats to 60 percent advantage.”
“What you’re seeing with Biden administration is an effort to dilute the votes of current American citizens by bringing in people who are born in other countries, knowing full well that if they can supplant American voters with newly citizenised foreign-born voters, that will be a massive election advantage for Democratic candidates,” Brooks added.
“That’s what it’s really all about,” Brooks determined. “Bottom line, the fact that it may cost hundreds of billions of dollars in additional welfare benefits [is] immaterial to the Biden administration or to the socialists that he represents. The fact that, say, over the last couple of years, roughly 2,000 Americans are dead at the hands of illegal aliens — on American soil, no less — that also is not something that the socialists factor into their decision. It’s purely a power grab.”

Brooks contrasted Democrats’ ostensibly public health-based advocacy for lockdowns and shutdowns to reduce COVID-19 transmission with their approach towards border security and immigration.
“Only in the socialist states like New York and Massachusetts and Illinois and California, do you have such a concern with COVID-19 that you are willing to shut down your economy to a much greater degree than in other parts of America,” Brooks remarked.
“If [Democrats] are going to perceive COVID-19 as that great of a risk that it outweighs the damage done to the economies of these various cities and states around the country, one would think that they would also have a concern about COVID-19 being transmitted into the United States from illegal aliens who illegally cross our borders and into the United States,” Brooks said.
“Unfortunately, the Democrats are anything if not hypocrites, and they won’t support [border security] because it decreases the power grab that is based on bringing in a lot of foreign individuals who, overall, are much more heavily reliant on welfare benefits than American citizens are,” Brooks concluded.
Sensible precautions, such as limiting non-citizen travel from other countries, are necessary to save lives and reduce COVID-19 spread. I oppose efforts by the Biden Administration to put American lives at risk by prematurely lifting the CDC order. https://t.co/vHlKYsfhM1

Foreigners from south of the U.S.-Mexico border are more likely to “vote for the socialist doctrines that … the Democratic Party now espouses” if given amnesty and citizenship, Brooks noted.

Tom Cotton: DREAM Act Would Offer Amnesty to Illegal Aliens with Criminal Convictions
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Breitbart News on Thursday that Democrats’ DREAM Act legislation, if enacted into federal law, would permit the extension of amnesty to illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
“[The DREAM Act] would ignore criminal records,” Cotton explained in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “It would exclude multiple criminal convictions at the state and federal levels, [including] serious and violent felonies that have been pleaded down to lower offenses. It would give Alejandro Mayorka — who we’ve seen is surrounded by serious ethical questions — the ability to issue waivers, even for people like human traffickers.”

Cotton reflected on his analysis of the DREAM Act, introduced on Thursday by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). He noted how the Democrat Party and broader left frame the DREAM Act and similar amnesty proposals as a humanitarian measure for children.
“The Dream Act [is] often portrayed by people like Barack Obama and Joe Biden and Dick Durbin as helping the Tiny Tim Cratchits of the world, the poor chimney sweep out there who’s seven years old and just trying to get a loaf of bread to survive on,” Cotton stated.
“Most of the people that the so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program benefited when Obama instituted it were already in their 20s. Now many of these people are in their 20s or even their 30s,” Cotton said. “About seven out of eight, in fact, are in their 20s. So these people are in the situation where they arrived here as minors, and therefore are illegal immigrants, but we’re mostly talking about adults. We’re not talking about little children.”
“The DREAM Act goes far beyond that program,” Cotton said of former Barack Obama’s executive order. He continued:
It would have amnesty for more than two million such people, and then here’s the kicker. The main selling point that the Democrats and, unfortunately, some Republicans use for this proposal is that children shouldn’t pay for the sins of the parents. Okay, I understand that. Now, I would say maybe they shouldn’t benefit from the sins of the parents, either, but how about parents paying for the sins of the parents, right?
Cotton highlighted the DREAM Act’s facilitation of chain migration.
“The whole point is that the children were brought here, they had no choice, they were minors they know no other country, and the parents are the ones that made the choice,” Cotton remarked. “Dick Durbin’s DREAM Act would allow those children — who are now adults — once they get legal status, to then turn around and get amnesty and citizenship for their parents who violated our laws in the first place and created this situation.”

U.S. Economy Added 49,000 Jobs in January
The U.S. economy added 49,000 jobs in December and the unemployment rate dipped to 6.3 percent, according to data released Friday.
Economists surveyed by Econoday had forecast an addition of 50,000 jobs and a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 6.8 percent.
The estimate for December was revised down significantly, from a loss of 140,000 to a loss of 227,000. This is the third straight month of sluggishness in the labor market.
Job gains in professional and business services and in both public and private education were offset by losses in leisure and hospitality, in retail trade, in health care, and in transportation and warehousing.
Private sector employment grew by just 6,000. Manufacturing employment shrank by 10,000, much worse than the predicted gain of 30,000. Retail trade employment shrank by 37,800 after expanding by 134,900 in December.
The economy added around 12 million jobs in the second half of 2020, a record-breaking pace after the unprecedented collapse in employment as lockdowns took hold in March and April. The increase in the ranks of employed workers shows that companies ramped up hiring as the economy reopened and consumers came back to stores, restaurants, and other businesses that had been shuttered this spring. Despite the gains, total employment in December was lower than its February level, highlighting just how deep the pandemic cut into what had been the strongest jobs markets in decades.
Hiring slowed in November and layoffs picked back up as infections, hospitalizations, and deaths surged. December saw the first negative print for payrolls since the spring. Many state and local governments around the country announced new restrictions on business, travel, dining, and other activities that have once again suppressed demand and discouraged growth in employment. Some businesses that held on through the first wave of shutdowns have not been able to stay in business in the second wave and much of the government aid made available earlier last year was no longer offered in December.
And even throughout the reopening layoffs have been extremely elevated, indicating that the pandemic’s effects are still ravaging the economy. A separate report on Thursday showed that 779,000 Americans applied for unemployment benefits in the prior week.
