| Washington, D.C.— Congressman Steve King, this afternoon, called a deal struck by a group of Senators “AMNESTY- a pardon and reward for lawbreakers.”
“Many Senators claim that their deal renews respect for the Rule of Law. Let me respond to that absurd statement by stating clearly, you cannot simultaneously tear down and rebuild one of our Constitutional principles. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the Rule of Law. The price for amnesty is the sacrifice of the Rule of Law,” stated King.
King concluded, “Each one of these Senators should wear a scarlet letter “A” for amnesty.”
Congressman Steve King (Iowa-5) is Ranking Republican on the Immigration Subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
