Brat

According to Pant Suits, Brat isn’t “informed” on immigration like she is.

Via The Hill:

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) lost his primary election to a candidate who “basically ran against immigrants,” and called for a “more informed” debate on immigration reform.

“The negative attitudes about immigration and immigrants, which we are seeing played out in certain places in our country politically are based on a gross misunderstanding,” Clinton said during an interview in Chicago with Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Cantor was defeated Tuesday night in a stunning upset by his primary opponent David Brat, an economics professor. Brat accused Cantor, who has backed some immigration reform, as a supporter of “amnesty” for illegal immigrants.

In an interview Wednesday, Brat said the issue of immigration was central to him ousting the majority leader.

“Amnesty, at the end, was the clear differentiator between myself and Eric Cantor,” he said, adding that Cantor was out of touch with his district.

Clinton, though, slammed Brat’s stance on immigration.

“[Brat’s] argument was this: There are Americans out of work, why should we allow immigrants into our country to take those jobs,” Clinton said. “I think that is a fair question. But the answer is not to throw out of work and deport the 11 million immigrants who are contributing already to our country. The answer is to grow our economy to create more jobs.”
