GOP Rep. Mo Brooks Presents Solution to Make Healthcare More Affordable: ‘Deport the Illegal Aliens’

EXCERPT:

BROOKS: "If you want to get into the affording aspect of it, the best thing that we can do in the federal government to ensure that people can afford health care is to do things that will help increase wages. And one of the best things we can do to help increase wages for working Americans is to deport the illegal aliens that have flooded the marketplace, suppressing wages for all Americans and, in addition to that, those illegal aliens have taken job opportunities from American citizens, roughly 10 million to 15 million job opportunities that have been lost to Americans. So you've got a double whammy there. If you enforce the border security — if you enforce our border security, deport illegal aliens, you create job opportunities for Americans and you also decrease the labor supply which means that employers have to pay more to Americans to do the work that needs doing. With that additional income they can better afford health care or perhaps if they want to put it into a house or they want to put it into clothing for their kids or college educations, they can do a lot of things with the additional money."
