Republicans’ 2016 Campaign Kicks Off With Fiery Immigration Rhetoric Before and During Iowa’s Freedom Summit


“ILLEGALS” Threaten GOP presidential candidates that go along with Freedom Summit Host Steve King’s anti-amnesty proposals

Congressman King pounds back in opening speech against “Dreamers” and other “Illegals”  —   saying they're from another planet



Late last week, as certain Republican presidential hopefuls were arriving in Iowa for this weekend’s Freedom Summit; illegal immigrants in Iowa, together with their supporters were issuing threats and warnings for such candidates: “Stay away from a major driving force behind the event you'll be attending – Rep. Steve King – if you want to have any chance of winning Hispanic votes ( See “Amnesty Supporters to GOP: Stay Away From Rep. Steve King” by Joel Himelfarb, 1/23/15, Newsmax [http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/illegal-immigrants-steve-king-iowa/2015/01/23/id/620447/]).

ILLEGALS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS TELL GOP’S 2016 CANDIDATES TO SHUN GOP CONGRESSMAN STEVE KING

The Washington Times reports that one of the so-called “Dreamers” who is in the United States as a result of President Barack Obama's 2012 amnesty for “Illegals” brought here by their parents said this: "If the GOP wants to win [in] 2016, then they are going to have to make sure that they stay as much as possible away from Steve King as they can...."  That comment was identified as being made by Erika Andiola, who was also identified as a “Dreamer....” (See “Iowa Hispanics to GOP: Stay away from amnesty foe Steve King”  by Seth McLaughlin, 1/22/15, The Washington Times [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/22/iowa-hispanics-to-tell-gop-to-stay-away-from-amnes/]).

Also according to the Times report by Seth McLaughlin, Monica Reyes, co-founder of DREAM Iowa, a pro-amnesty group, also warned Republicans to shun King, now in his seventh term in the House. "We will stand up for our communities, and we will try to protect what we earned and what we worked hard to get," Reyes said. "So if they want the Latino vote, if they want immigration allies, they need to change their stances. They need to keep away from Steve King."  She was also more ominous, and perhaps even said things that were more threatening, than that  —   Ms. Reyes said that "...there will be repercussions for those who stand with Mr. King in trying to reverse Mr. Obama’s executive actions....”

CONGRESSMAN KING NOT DETERRED BY SO-CALLED “DREAMERS” AND THEIR SUPPORTERS  —  LAUNCHES HIS IOWA SUMMIT BY SAYING THEY ARE “FROM ANOTHER PLANET”

“Rep. Steve King, at the opening of his Iowa Freedom Summit, took another jab at so-called DREAMers, saying they come from a different ‘planet’....   ‘We’re a great people. We have a vitality that’s unequaled on the planet. We come from every possible planet, uh, every possible continent,’ King said, to laughter from the crowd....   ‘They’re across the street, those people that come from the other planet,’ he said, prompting more laughs and applause from the audience....” ( See “Steve King opens Iowa summit with attack on DREAMers  –  In an attempted joke, he calls them ‘those people that come from the other planet’ ” by Jonathan Topaz, 1/24/15, Politico [http://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/steve-king-iowa-summit-immigration-dreamers-114552.html]).

On a similar topic, Politico noted that “On Tuesday, King criticized a DREAMer invited to sit in the first lady’s box at the State of the Union address as “a deportable,” a remark that he defended after facing criticism. The congressman, who has been confronted several times on camera by immigration advocates, has previously said most undocumented immigrations have ‘calves the size of cantaloupes’ from smuggling drugs and compared them to dogs.”

CONGRESSMAN KING HAD OTHER THINGS TO SAY TO AND ABOUT THE FREEDOM SUMMIT

Politico also mentioned that King had some OTHER things to say during his opening at The Freedom Summit —  “... [A]n emotional King offered an impromptu prayer for the next president to ‘restore the soul of America.’ He laid out several challenges to Republicans running for president, including supporting a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, abolishing the IRS and repealing the Affordable Care Act. ***   [He] also predicted that the next president of the United States would be speaking at his summit, an apparent slight to several potential Republican candidates who didn’t appear at the event — among them Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney.”

We do not use the word "illegal." The correct term is undocumented immigrant or undocumented citizen. No one is illegal.

Whoever made that "Mayflower" remark is a hate-filled un-American anti-white racist bigot.
