King to head immigration panel

Now I'm REALLY depressed

Reg: "Steve King is in line in January to become chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, refugees, border security and international law. He said he would use that post to oppose immigration reform plans that would include a 'path to citizenship' for illegal immigrants. He also favors legislation stopping automatic U.S. citizenship for so-called 'anchor babies' born in the United States to parents who are illegal immigrants.

In addition, King wants to wean so-called "sanctuary cities" that harbor illegal immigrants from federal funding, and to pass legislation giving Arizona and other states specific authority to enforce immigration laws."
