Republicans who should be Democrats

By a 221-202 vote, the House voted Thursday to remove language from the annual national defense authorization bill that would have opened the door to allow young illegal immigrants to enlist in the military.
An amendment introduced by Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., to strip the immigration language from the bill was opposed by all House Democrats — 20 Republicans joined them in opposing the amendment.

The Hill

The 20 Republicans who voted against the measure were Reps. Mike Coffman (Colo.), Carlos Curbelo (Fla.), Jeff Denham (Calif.), Charlie Dent (Pa.), Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Bob Dold (Ill.), Chris Gibson (N.Y.), Richard Hanna (N.Y.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), John Katko (N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), Tom MacArthur (N.J.), Martha McSally (Ariz.), Dan Newhouse (Wash.), Dave Reichert (Wash.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.), Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), Fred Upton (Mich.) and David Valadao (Calif.).

Remember this when they come up for re-election.
