GOP Senator SLAMS CNN: How Many More Dead People Before You Consider Border Issue An Emergency

The Alabama Republican argued the circumstances are different, stating there is a “national emergency of major proportions” at the border.

“So if you want to talk apples and apples, let’s do it, but don’t make up stuff and try to mislead the public,” Brooks added.

“What’s the emergency?” Berman pressed.

Brooks citing the numbers of homicides committed by illegal immigrants, as well as drug overdoses and the quantity of illegal drugs entering the United States from Mexico.

“How many dead people do you need to have John before you consider it an emergency!?” Brooks exclaimed.
