“Last week, the GOP-led House of Representatives approved Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL)amendment, which removed language from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2016 that would have allowed illegal aliens who have received President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to serve in the military.

The amnesty language to the NDAA was inserted by Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)during the House Armed Services Committee’s NDAA markup.

The Brooks amendment passed even though 20 Republicans defected and voted against it, joining Pelosi’s Democrats.”

What the poster of this thread conveniently failed to include in his screed against the 20, is that the amendment to remove this provision passed anyways.

No thanks to these 20. Should not this be the makings of the list of Reps to "primary" in 2016? I see states like CA, WA, NY, IL & NJ but surely we can do better than this? And most especially in FL, CO, AZ and MI.

That wasn’t the point of his/this article. It was to remind conservatives of the fact that RETHUGLICAN RINOS are as big a threat to our liberties as the Dims.

Did you support opposing the Brooks amendment?

Do you condone the 20 votes of Pelosi’s and Gallego’s fellow travelers?
