Rep. Mo Brooks blasted President Joe Biden Sunday for not protecting the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Republican congressman from Alabama, who is running for the state’s open Senate seat, said Biden is “absolutely in violation” of the U.S. Constitution by failing to protect the United States from an invasion at its southern border.
“It is outrageous and in my judgment, it violates Article 4 Section 4 of the United States Constitution that requires the federal government to protect states from an invasion,” Brooks said during an interview on SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Saturday.
Brooks recently visited the southern border and said he witnessed federal immigration officials essentially welcoming undocumented migrants into the U.S. by loading them on buses and taking them to a processing site.
“Most people think of [an invasion] as an armed force like an army,” Brooks said. “Nope, that’s not what the word ‘invasion’ means, it’s not so limited. It includes the illegal activity that we’re seeing on our southern border and Joe Biden is absolutely in violation of Article 4 Section 4 of the United States Constitution.”
The Alabama congressman called upon southern border states to “start enforcing their own border and declare the federal government and the president in violation of its contractual agreement … to defend these states from invasion.”
Brooks said the matter would likely go to the Supreme Court, where he believes the states would prevail. He added that people need to stand up against politicians who support special interests that lead to open borders.

“We’ve elected people who on the one hand, the political power from importing all of these folks by and large on welfare … and so that’s a made-for Democrat vote,” Brooks said. “And on the other hand, we have special interest groups who are paying tens of millions of dollars to elect wimpy Republicans in Republican primaries — people who will be for open borders and will say nothing about importing cheap foreign labor no matter how much damage it does to destroy American families.”
Brooks accused Katie Britt, a Republican who is also running for Alabama’s open Senate seat, of being one of those “wimpy Republicans.”
“Katie Britt cares more about raising money and aligning herself with Never Trump RINOs and Socialist Democrats than she does about representing Alabamians,” Brooks wrote on Facebook. “I’m PROUD to say I stand with President Trump and the America First agenda!”
