A longtime advocate of border fencing is Western Iowa Congressman Steve King, who spoke about immigration reform during a town hall in Spencer, Iowa on Tuesday.

That topic might come up at a debate between the Republican presidential candidates that King will help moderate on Monday.

However, there's another hot button issue he wants the presidential hopefuls address right out of the gate.

"I think we all have to everything we can do to undo Obamacare and I want the next president to take that oath, and follow through on that and sign the repeal immediately after they take the oath of office on January 20th of 2013," said King.

Six presidential candidates will answer questions from King and South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint on Labor Day. It's the third in a series of debates, which King hopes will show the common ideals of the states leading the nominating process. Debates have already been held in Iowa and New Hampshire.

King says he's waiting until after the debate to publicly announce which candidate he'll support.
