    Rep. Steve King: Obama Invited 'Deportable' to Sit by His Wife

    By Sandy Fitzgerald

    Rep. Steve King took to Twitter on Tuesday to complain about the president's decision to invite a "deportable" immigrant to occupy the coveted seat next to first lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union address, saying it was a violation of the "rule of law."

    The Iowa Republican, who has been quite vocal in his opposition to President Barack Obama's actions on immigration, took to Twitter hours before the speech to complain that the president was breaking the law by inviting 20-year-old Texan Ana Zamora to the speech, reports Politico.

    Zamora, a Dallas student, was invited to sit with Michelle Obama during the speech after she wrote the White House to thank the president for his executive action in November granting legal status to her undocumented parents, who are a construction worker and a small business owner.

    In addition, Zamora is a "dreamer," or an immigrant brought to the United States at a young age, who benefited from Obama's executive action that granted her and thousands of others legal status that includes the possibility of obtaining work permits.

    By saying in his Tweet that he'd sit with Alito, King was likely referring to the 2010 State of the Union address, when Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was seen mouthing the words "not true" when Obama complained about the court's decision on campaign finance laws, calling it a reversal of "a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests," reports Politico.

    King would not back down from his "deportable" comment Tuesday night, and told reporters to "shake it off" about his tweet.

    "The futility of language emerges on Twitter," King said, who went on to blame Obama for breaking the "rule of law."

    "Why isn't the president taking heat for what he's doing to the rule of law?" the Iowa lawmaker told reporters. "He's going to make another promise that he's going to violate the Constitution tonight. At least one."

    King said his comments would not impact his appearance at the "Iowa Freedom Summit" on Jan. 24 for potential GOP candidates eyeing the 2016 race.

    Zamora is a deportable, so what's the problem? Does the media think that because an illegal alien is invited by the White House to sit with Michelle at the SOTU that istomehow makes it all okay that illegal aliens are being given amnesty against the law and will of the American People by a rogue POTUS? Really?!

    Americans are a little deeper than that, so watch out, that turnip truck behind you is rolling your way.

    I thought I had read that the person sitting next to Michelle was a former Dem worker who had received obamacare help. Seems like she had a brain tumor or something? Or maybe that was someone else! I've heard several different things about who was sitting with Michelle.

    Yes, that is true too about the Democratic staffer posing as an actor for the SOTU Political Theater. Apparently the First Lady had quite a herd with her. Reagan started this practice of the President inviting people to honor at the SOTU. I think that practice needs to be rolled back. I'm sure he never anticipated that a President of the United States would invite criminals and lawbreakers or political staffers to pose as ordinary citizens to the SOTU. But now that this has happened, Congress needs to roll that back and prohibit it hence. They also need to prohibit non-citizens from addressing the Congress in our Capitol Building. If they want some extracurricular activity with foreign persons they can rent a convention center, that's what they're for. Our Capitol Building is for the business of the American People, not foreign persons.
