Your GOPathetic Representative

Outspoken anti-immigrant Congressman Steve King (R-IA) during a congressional hearing questioned an official witness, Arturo Venegas, about his coming to the U.S. Venegas stated he was brought to the country as a child by his U.S.-born mother. To which King inquired, “Can you just tell us what year and what visa, then, Mr. Venegas?”

There is no excuse for Congressman King's hostile lack of respect for Arturo Venegas. He is a veteran of the war in Vietnam, the former Chief of Police of Sacramento, California, and an American citizen despite being born abroad, because the child of a US citizen is legally an American citizen as well, and doesn't need a special visa to enter the country. Congressman King is an embarrasment.
