California Republican congressman Jeff Denham, an Air Force vet, is supporting a bill to grant permanent residency to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before age 15 and enlisted in the military.
At a hearing on the bill, Rep. Denham said, “It is very frustrating to hear controversy from members who have never served their country and don’t understand the impact that immigrants have had on our freedoms.”
Mo Brooks, a Republican from Alabama, whom I’ll bet never served in any branch of the military, then said “That’s bunk; next question.” I really don’t understand people like Mo Brooks.
