Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says refugees fleeing war-torn Syria are trying to come to the U.S. for a “paid vacation,” The Hill reports.
Said Brooks: “I’m one of these folks that think we need to stop paying these folks to come here, and we’re paying them about $15,000 a year in free health care, free food, free shelter, free clothing, free transportation.”
He added: “You know, just go down the litany of wealth-transfer programs that these people are entitled to, and that answers very quickly why so many of them want to come to the United States of America, we’re paying them to come here. Paid vacation!”
