Congressman Louie Gohmert Said Al Quaeda Operatives Are Infiltrating Border Through Mexico by “Act[ing] Hispanic.” In April 2013, Gohmert appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal and said: “We know Al Qaeda has camps over with the drug cartels on the other side of the Mexican border. We know that people are now being trained to come in and act like Hispanics when they are radical Islamists.” [C-SPAN, 4/17/13]
Bachmann: “Not Doing Anything” for Children of Illegal Immigrants. In 2011, MSNBC reported that when asked by a college student what she would do to the children of illegal immigrants, Bachman responded she is “not doing anything to them” and then “described why she is against the federal government rewarding citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.” [MSNBC First Read, 10/29/11]
Dan Benishek: Unsure Whether Immigrant Children Should “Ever Have Citizenship.” In 2010, Benishek said that he wasn’t sure if, as a Congressman, he would vote to allow children of undocumented immigrants to obtain citizenship, “or even allow them to ever have citizenship.” Benishek said that “maybe they should get a green card or something. I would say 99 percent of the people that are here illegally should be going, but maybe some people deserve to stay. That’s the best way to put it I guess.”
Steven King: For Every High School Valedictorian That's an Undocumented Immigrant, There's Another 100 Immigrants “Hauling 75 Pounds of Marijuana Across the Desert.” “Iowa conservative Republican Congressman Steve King said in an interview with Newsmax that for every valedictorian DREAMer who has been brought to this country by his or her family, '…there’s another 100 out there who, they 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.'” [NBC Latino, 7/23/13]
