A GOP sponsor of a bill that would protect undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children said Republicans like Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach are part of a “fringe” group who like to use immigrants as a scapegoat for economic struggles.
Appearing on MSNBC Tuesday just after Kobach gave an interview saying DACA recipients should go back to their home country and “get in line” before coming back to the U.S., Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) called Kobach’s opinions “regrettable.”
“It’s regrettable that some fringe elements in our politics have a sick obsession with scapegoating immigrants, for blaming them for all our economic struggles in this country,” he said, adding if that group wants a “culprit” for “stagnant economic growth,” Kobach and others should look at the country’s tax code and education system.
He also called out Kobach for blaming immigrants for struggles young Americans face when it comes to finding a job after college.

these kooks are terrified of current demographic trends and think they can return the U.S. to majority white status by kicking out brown people, keeping brown people from immigrating, and keeping white women from having access to birth control and abortions.
That's their hidden agenda.
having an R next to their name or a blonde spouse won't spare them
