King hosts illegal immigration forum
DES MOINES, Iowa U-S Congressman Steve King has gathered a panel of anti-illegal immigration proponents to sway Iowans before the next onslaught of presidential candidates hits the state.
Guests at the Des Moines forum included Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minutemen Project, a national movement that has stationed citizens on the U-S-Mexican border to stop illegal immigrants.King, a conservative Republican, says he wants Iowans to understand immigration policy and challenge the presidential candidates during the Iowa caucuses.
Iowa Lietenant Governor Sally Pederson, a Democrat, says King’s forum featured the Republican Party’s most staunch anti-immigration advocates, including Congressman Tom Tancredo, from Colorado, and Congressman J.D. Hayworth from Arizona.
She says Iowans understand this is a state and a nation of immigrants, and they expect a fair immigration policy, not one based on hate and discrimination.
King says he’ll hold more forums leading up to the presidential election.

The now FORMER Lieutenant Governor of Iowa missed the point regarding ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Then again, Pederson and her ilk either cannot or will not concede let alone admit that there is a CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN ILLEGAL AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. A fair immigration policy is one in which the current IMMIGRATION LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES ARE STICTLY ENFORCED WITHOUT EXCEPTION. And that entails deporting as many illegal aliens as possible. Apparently, such an action is hateful and discriminatory in the eyes of Pederson and her fellow LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. Pederson also referred to Congressmen Hayworth and Tancredo as the Republican party’s most staunch anti-immigration advocates. Once again, this hopelessly naive and or arrogant LEFT WING Democrat has missed the point as Mister Hayworth and Mister Tancredo are staunch ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES. Someone should tell old Sally that there is a difference between LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ALIENS.
