Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) appeared Friday night on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" to discuss immigration and the current U.S.-Mexico border crisis.

Hayes tweeted a summary of Brooks' startling comments after the interview aired:

Hayes began the interview seeking clarification on whether Brooks viewed President Barack Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) order as “illegitimate,” to which the congressman responded, “Yes I do.” Brooks stated that he supported deporting the 500,000 DREAMers who have benefited from the president’s order, “and more.”

He also addressed the wave of unaccompanied minors who have recently crossed the border into the U.S., saying, “to the Democrats, the border security problem is really a question of where they come up with the money for the welcome mats and the Happy Meals.” Brooks elaborated, “they should not be fed and clothed for years, which apparently is the direction that the president wants to take us. Rather, those children should be taken care of here and very expeditiously reunited with their families back home.”

When pressed by Hayes on the deportation of undocumented immigrants, the Alabama lawmaker said that they are “taking jobs from American citizens” and that he “absolutely” wants to see them deported.

“There are 8 million jobs in America now held by illegal aliens, that’s 8 million job opportunities taken from American citizens,” said Brooks. When Hayes asked the congressman if he “would like to see those 8 million deported,” Brooks answered, “Yeah, if that’s what’s necessary to protect American jobs. Absolutely.”

House Republicans ultimately voted on Friday to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, putting over half a million young people at risk of deportation. HuffPost's Elise Foley points out that the measure has no chance of becoming law as it would face opposition from both the Democratic-led Senate and President Obama.

Highlighted in bold: Really?

5 months earlier they were advocating for CIR.

The Cantor loss caused them to flip flop.

I want to see Kevin McCarthy losing on this election. It surely will show the power of Californian immigrants.

Some of these guys need to take an economics 101 course. If you get rid of the eight million people holding those jobs then those people will not be around to spend their pay checks. That leads to less jobs. At the end, those eight million jobs might not even be around either. lol

These guys are aware of that, all the theatrics are just political. These guys don't give a shit about anything else but scoring points to win a reelection

This is hardly newsworthy. Come on, the guy is from Alabama, a very socially conservative state and home to Jeff Sessions since 1997. Mo Brooks is against abortion, defunding Planned Parenthood, against stem cell research, and even voted against reopening the government and raising the debt ceiling limit and also against the Fiscal Cliff deal. Not to mention he's cosponsored dozens of harsh bills dealing with immigration and border security. He's an unofficial Tea Party member with a 77% white district.

There's no news here, move along.

While he's there, why not enslave everyone whose black? Might as well. Dickhead.
