Rep. King: ‘If We See Them Pass Amnesty, It’s Amnesty Forever’

Conservative members of Congress gathered for a six-hour press conference last week outside of the Capitol before a large crowd to speak out against granting any “amnesty” to illegal immigrants before the nation’s borders are secure.

“If we see them pass amnesty, then it’s amnesty forever and you can never restore the rule of law again at least with regard to immigration – that’s the central piece of this thing,” Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, who sponsored the event, told PJ Media.

“It was a mistake for Reagan to sign amnesty in ’86. He didn’t let me down very often – that time he did. This still remains the fruits of that – the mindset that you can reward people for breaking the law and somehow they’re going to be law abiders later on. They won’t be.”

I am of the old school. I prefer to refer to the uninvited who dare cross our nations boarders as just what they are...ILLEGAL ALIENS.

I wonder how many of you who are reading this are aware of how many years some of us have tried to get it down on the record that English is declared as the official language of our dear nation...now that seems a “no brainer” to me, but then a lot of what has gone on fall under that description to me. Common sense has long ago left this land, and for the most part, Iv’e come to regard my fellow Americans as no more than a herd of sheep willing to sell their nation and their soul to the guy that promises them the most freebies. What a disgusting state of affairs! In all my 80 years, I never thought things that are taking place in our country currently would ever get in this shape. Please read my tagline, then ask yourself that question.
