Anti-Immigrant Spokesman Steve King Strikes Again

Fresh off his recent House Judiciary hearing calling for anend to birthright American citizenship guaranteed under the 14th Amendment which showcased a horrendous GOP display of extremist politics and nativist vitriol, the House Republicans' Anti-Immigrant Spokesman Rep. Steve King is at it once again.  This time, he made a ridiculously preposterous claim while speaking with local Iowa leaders – that President Obama's Administration is flying children of undocumented immigrants into the United States.  Check out his outrageous remarks:

The President has set up this policy that I think is ludicrous – to send planes to Guatemala City to load up the children of illegal aliens in America and deliver their children to them here in the United States.  Unbelievable that a President of the United States could decide to defy the law and use – borrow money from China to accelerate and fly illegal immigrants into America to join other illegal immigrants.  [05/11/2015]

Add this to King's infamously long listof despicable, anti-immigrant assertions.

The problem is Rep. Steve King and other xenophobic House Republicans do more than just spit hate and demonize immigrant families.  This week, they are leading the House Republican Conference to deny DREAMers from serving and defending the country they love – opportunities of which Speaker Boehner's own so-called ‘principles' professed to stand for.  Speaker Boehner, it's time to put an end to their actions and statements, and step up.
