Steve King is at it again

[pstans]

In a speech in the House talking about building a wall on the US - Mexican Border...

'We could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time.'

- Rep. Steve King (R-IA), quoted by The Hill, equating the containment of immigrants to that of livestock.
