Quote Of The Day - Rep. Steve King

"Some of them are valedictorians, and their parents brought them in. It wasn't their fault. It's true in some cases, but they aren't all valedictorians. They weren't all brought in by their parents. For everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. Those people would be legalized with the same act." - Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who has introduced a bill to reverse President Obama's delayed deportations of DREAMers.

RELATED: Last month King had a whining hissy fit when young immigration activists attempted to visit his office in the US Capitol.

UPDATE: The Democrats are quick to respond.

Crackpot GOP Rep. Steve King Whines For Help Over Student Immigration Activists

A small group of teenage DREAM activists have crackpot GOP Rep. Steve King wetting his Sansabelts.

King, a long-time immigration hardliner, last week sponsored an effort to cut funding for President Obama's deferred action program, which grants deportation reprieves to DREAMers. In response, United  We Dream, an undocumented youth activist group, organized a protest at the Iowa congressman's office this morning. Two dozen or so demonstrators showed up at King's office to voice their displeasure with him, organizers said. They arrived wearing caps and gowns (photo here) to reinforce their message that they want to pursue higher education and careers in the U.S. But the real story quickly became about how King framed the protest on Twitter.

Last year King infamously referred to immigrants as dogs, saying that America should only be accepting the "pick of the litter" and not the lazy dogs "sleeping in the corner."
