There was, of course, a rather serious problem, aside from the Republican’s confusion about finance policy: Scott Brown also voted for the exact same measures that raised the debt ceiling. The former senator had apparently forgotten his own record when he criticized Shaheen for casting the same votes he did.

New Hampshire GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown has been making immigration into a key campaign issue, attacking Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) on border security in an ad and criticizing President Barack Obama for falling down on the job in an op-ed. But he has found himself in a bit of a bind, since one of the reforms he’s campaigning against is something that he once voted for.

In an op-ed in his newly adopted home state, Brown condemned “pro-amnesty policies that have encouraged people to come here illegally.” What kind of policies? The Republican specifically blasted “in-state tuition for illegals.”

Putting aside the fact that Brown still seems confused about the fact that “illegal” is not a noun, Amanda Terkel reports that the GOP candidate actually voted for state legislation that would make undocumented immigrants “eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees at the University of Massachusetts, or any commonwealth state or community college.”
