Steve King: Boston Bombings Should Delay Immigration Reform
Found on Huffington Post on Tuesday, 16 April 2013
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.
