Dreamers protest at (IA) Rep. King's office; King denounces on Twitter

WASHINGTON — Rep. Steve King put the word out Thursday via Twitter.

A conservative Republican congressman from northwest Iowa, King has been an outspoken opponent of creating a pathway to citizenship for those in the country illegally, including those brought here by their parents when they were still young children. That group is commonly referred to as “Dreamers” because legislation to address their situation is known as the Dream Act.

King has repeatedly denounced the Obama administration's policy of deferring deportations of those Dreamers, and the House last week approved his proposal to roll back the policy, although that measure is unlikely to become law.

His stance on the issue prompted 20 Dreamers to show up at his office on Thursday, dressed in graduation gowns.

20 brazen self professed illegal aliens have just invaded my DC office. Obama's lawless order gives them de facto immunity from U.S. law.
