| Big talk from a little man. |
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) is demanding that one of the nation’s greatest monuments be removed to protest the House GOP’s H.R.2, also known as the Secure the Border Act. The comprehensive border security and immigration bill was passed in May last year.
"Demanding" How cute
On Wednesday, Frost told Republicans to pass a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty along with their "bigoted" immigration law. Frost issued the demand during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing on immigration.
The bill would restrict the asylum process for people crossing the border and require resumed construction on the border wall.
The freshman congressman was one of many Democrats who attacked the bill. However, Front was widely mocked on social media after he produced a bill to remove the Statue of Liberty for Republicans to also pass.
"My colleagues from the other side of the aisle, let’s be honest with immigrants who deserve better than what you’re offering them," Frost said, holding up the draft.
"Don’t welcome immigrants if you plan to reject them.
"If you keep pushing your bigoted H.R. 2 bill, then also pass this bill.
"I’ve taken the liberty of drafting it for you.
"It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here."
