This is from Steve King (R-IA), not to be confused with Pete King (Putz-NY).

Im trying to find out which RINOs voted no. This is not even a big deal. They are just investigating it.

Last time I think Jeff Denham, Michael Grimm and a few others voted against King.

Now Grimm is saying it is time to boycott Mexico over Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi.

It was only 218 votes. I wonder if Cantor is behind this. He’ll probably go to his district and do another one of his faux speeches , “ I told Trey Gowdy to investigate Benghazi and I told Steve King to investigate the criminal aliens release.”

Since when do the representatives of the people need to pray for compliance with the laws — from those charged with executing them?

Mexico has SOME NERVE keeping our Marine in prison, given that Barry has OPENED OUR BORDERS FOR ILLEGALS TO FREELY CROSS. THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR BY MEXICO and we should commence executing illegals here in the U.S. until that Marine is released!!!

What a travesty that Barry has not taken swift action to gain the Marine's release.

You’ve just answered your own question. The Marine in the Mexican prison is a US citizen, and like himself, the undocumented democrats are not.
