Harkin and Durbin Take Immigration Fight to Steve King's Home State
In late July, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) made widely condemned remarks that disparaged immigrants, saying that "for every one [DREAMer] whoās a valedictorian, thereās another hundred out there who weigh a hundred and thirty poundsāand theyāve got calves the size of cantaloupes because theyāre hauling seventy-five pounds of marijuana across the desert.ā Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) are responding to the comments by making the case for a comprehensive immigration policy with a road map to citizenship in King's home district in Iowa. The two senators will be holding a round-table discussion with DREAMers, farmers, students and small business owners from across the state.
