Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Monday accused Democrats of making the Republican party's push for stronger border security about race, the Huffington Post reported.

"This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else," Brooks told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "It's part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things. Well that’s not true."

Brooks made the accusation in response to National Journal columnist Ron Fournier's comment on "Fox News Sunday" that the Republican Party is becoming "the party of white people."...

"Democrats, they have to demagogue on this and try and turn it into a racial issue, which is an emotional issue, rather than a thoughtful issue," Brooks said. "If it becomes a thoughtful issue, then we win and we win big. And they lose and they lose big."

1. Excellent. Republican racism should be an issue.

And I don't mind their own members giving the subject national attention.

5. We have the tightest border security we've probably ever had.

And there simply is no such thing as a 'secure' border. To make any sort of immigration reform to first require such an absurd and untenable first step is simply an excuse not to even try to do any actual reform.

6. The what?

Why don't they just come out and say it: they're racists, and they long for the days of the Confederacy, or at least Jim Crow.

These people suck.

7. I just read this.

Disgusting, and unfortunately the stupid, racist idiots in this country no doubt agree with him. I am so angry right now.
