Freshman Rep. Mo Brooks Co-Sponsors 14 Immigration-Reduction Bills

Brooks was identified as a “True Reform” Candidate during last year’s mid-term elections, agreeing in the affirmative to all 12 questions on NumbersUSA’s Immigration-Reduction survey.

During the last Congressional recess, Rep. Brooks made some strong statements regarding illegal immigration during a town hall meeting.
