WASHINGTON Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, a conservative firebrand with a history of making incendiary remarks about immigrants and culture, said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's decision to wind down DACA will give undocumented immigrants a choice to either "live in the shadows" or face deportation.
"They came here to live in the shadows and we're not denying them that opportunity to live in the shadows," King told NBC News when asked about where immigrants would go after their authorizations under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program expire.
When pressed on his statement, King said, "They should make up their own mind, but they also need to be exposed to the enforcement of the law."
"If they're encountered by law enforcement officials, the law requires that they'd be placed in removal proceedings," King added. "That's the law and if you're going to waive the application of the law, to groups of people, it is amnesty and amnesty in America, with regard to immigration, is a reward for immigration lawbreakers and is a pardon for immigration lawbreakers coupled with their reward of the objective of their crime."

I'm generally not a violent person but if there's someone who deserves a good ass kicking it's Rep. King. I mean what made him so mean spirited? Did his folks not love him enough?

(14,971 posts)A high school in Iowa has disciplined some of its students after a recent photo was posted online of five young men dressed in Ku Klux Klan hoods burning a cross.
In addition to the KKK hoods and the burning cross, the photo also featured one young male holding a rifle, and another holding a Confederate flag.
The Omaha World Herald reports that students at Creston Community High School were disciplined for the photo but would not explain what discipline the students received.
