King is a clown. This is the same guy who criticized federal aid to New Orleans, yet he asked the feds for aid to his home state after a winter frost.

Hypocrite, as are his supporters

WOW, who are his "supporters"???? I think Navarro was right - he's pretty insignificant because I didn't know about him until I did some research on him as a result of this thread.

Yeah, this. While King's track record on immigration issues would lead someone to maybe not give him the benefit of the doubt on reading his intent, to me it was pretty clear he was referring to the legislative language.

That's my take on it also but of course those who hate King because of his stance on illegal immigration will continue to spin it their way and play the victim card for this vile, insulting Hispanic woman.

Steve King doesn't differentiate whether someone is even a legal immigrant, and calls Latin American countries "violent civilizations", with the immigrants bringing it here to the United States:

If you bring people from a violent civilization into a less-violent civilization, you’re going to have more violence right? It’s like pouring hot water into cold water, does it raise the temperature or not?

People who living in Latin America are not even immigrants, unless they moved there, which is proof that his hatred is towards non immigrants.

You have to migrate in order to be an immigrant.

But Steve King is saying the United States is becoming "more violent" as a result of immigrants coming here from those "violent civilizations" in Latin America...
