King: If You Want To Euthanize the Rule of Law, Support the Senate Amnesty Bill

Representative Steve King
5th Congressional District of Iowa


Washington, D.C. - Congressman Steve King today cast great doubt over the future of the Senate immigration bill. While last week many thought it would inevitably become law, this week King sees momentum shifting back towards the will of the American people.


"Americans understand this bill’s amnesty would undermine our values and principles. With each new detail we read in this proposal, it becomes more outrageous. The security measures are all premised on the idea that even though we are not enforcing the law today, somehow by passing amnesty to enough people there will be no one left to enforce the laws against," said King.



He concluded, "On day one, this bill would legalize nearly every single illegal alien. Criminal aliens would be legalized if a rushed, 24-hour background check didn’t turn-up a conviction. Gang members would be welcome if they only renounced their gang membership. The current law of the land, a Congressional mandate to build 854 miles of fence, would be cut to only 370 of the 2000 mile border."



Congressman Steve King (Iowa-5) is the top Republican on the Immigration Subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. He is also Chairman of the innovative Conservative Opportunity Society, founded by Newt Gingrich.
