Steve King: Boston Bombings Should Delay Immigration Reform

The Boston Marathon bombings show that immigration reform could endanger the public, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Tuesday, speculating that the attack might have been perpetrated by an immigrant. In fact, law enforcement authorities have not named any suspect so far.

King has a long history of controversial statements on immigrants and is one of the most outspoken House opponents of immigration reform.

Making laws on pure speculation instead of facts is a perfect way to fail. It's also funny that a politician complains about immigration while the nation he's working for only exists because of the same.
