6. Congressman Mo Brooks applauds President Donald Trump’s attempts to remake America’s asylum process
— President Donald Trump’s made a Presidential Proclamation that asylum seekers can no longer attempt to claim asylum after being caught entering the country illegally. Liberals are already challenging it.
— In response to the president’s move to end this “abuse,” Brooks released a statement that partially read, “Let me make this clear: no one has a right to demand asylum from any nation. Asylum and sanctuary is a discretionary benefit given by nations to those with clear justification. Too often, illegal aliens are coached by attorneys to say ‘magic words’ that help them take advantage of America’s generosity. Their exploitation of America’s already generous immigration laws must stop! As such, I support President Trump’s steps to close asylum loopholes and stop the damage to America caused by illegal aliens’ wrongful conduct.”

— Alabama Democrat Chairwoman Nancy Worley explained that Mallory Hagan, who was challenging Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Saks), was prepared to lie about what was happening in Alabama. She said, “Having been secretary of state, I knew how our purge process works. And it takes a long number of years to get on that list. And so I tried to explain to them that you don’t want to say things that are not true. You don’t want to make an issue out of something that is not an issue. And they disagreed with me greatly on that. That’s a process of ‘Nancy Worley is not going to tell somebody she knows when she knows it’s not the truth.’ And other people are willing in politics to get out there and create strawmen. So, that’s the way politics works.”
— Worley also fielded questions about whether the state party did enough to help candidates. She said thinks they are doing fine, explaining, “I think we’ve got a lot of work to do. We certainly need to go out into many of our counties and have a more active organization because all politics is local. It’s grassroots.”
