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.”

Congressman King recently introduced a House amendment -which was approved – calling for the elimination of the Administration’s deferred deportation for DREAMers. The amendment is largely symbolic, since there is no chance the Senate will pass it nor a chance the president would sign it into law.
