U.S. Representative Steve King has carved out a niche in Congress as an unrelenting foe of legalizing undocumented immigrants, and last night the Iowa Republican was the star attraction at a rally where he pressed his case in the hometown of one of his party’s leaders.
“Let’s restore the rule of law, let’s restore the dignity of the America citizen, and let’s restore the destiny of the American nation,” King said, his voice booming from a Richmond, Virginia, hillside park that overlooks House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s district. Those backing a citizenship path for undocumented immigrants “have no vision for what kind of country we would have,” he said.
