GOP Lawmaker Calls For U.S. Immigration Policy Based On ‘Skin Pigmentation’

OFFS!
These regressives are emboldened and increasingly letting their 'inside-the-head-voice' get out.
They also realize the demographics are against them, so they are in full freak-out mode, with Trump at the throttle.

Republican Rep. for Alabama, Mo Brooks, has (sic) believes that Donald Trump was right to call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, but that the policy simply did not go far enough. Speaking on The Matt Murphy show earlier this week, Brooks called for immigration policy based on “skin pigmentation.”

According to this Republican Congressman, President Obama is conducting some sort of white genocide on the United States, and only a race-based immigration policy will fix the problem.

This isn’t the first, and will likely not be the last time Brooks makes an unwelcome contribution to the race debate in America. But in an interview with TPM earlier this year, the congressman let slip an even more cynical reason that he doesn’t want anymore non-white people floating around his state, or any state.

Mo Brooks has always been a few bricks shy of a full load, but this is just garden variety racism.

At least Trump is bringing the racists out of the shadows. Their similarity to 1920's republicans and the Know Nothings of the mid-19th century just gets stronger and stronger. No immigration - except maybe white Protestants - and no trade.
