Steve King, the Iowa GOP congressman who once said that DREAM Act beneficiaries are mostly drug runners with calves the size of cantaloupes because theyve been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert, said yesterday that he expects to be deeply engaged in immigration policy if Donald Trump is to become president, boasting that a good amount of the immigration policies on Trumps website are a copy-and-paste from things that Ive done.
King told Jeff Angelo, who was guest-hosting the Iowa talk radio program Mickelson in the Morning, that his legislative priorities in the next Congress would depend on who is elected president.
If its Hillary, Ill be playing a lot of defense because shell be pouring an agenda at us, he said. And if its Trump, then weve got an opportunity to move another direction.
People are insane for not considering the charismatic Steve King as a VP choice.
He is contraversial but has better grasp of policy and is a good communicator, compared to stumbling choke artist Rubio.
S King vs Ethnol lobby currently counting:

I guess after the "then you win" thing comes "then they claim you stole your ideas from them."
Yea, but you’re a putz Steve.
well then he should be ready to board the train
Well, if he's done them, he hasn't been very effective while doing it. Sounds like an ego problem to me. Jeff Sessions has been leading the fight against immigration amnesty and open borders at least since W's first big push in 2006. And it's well known that Sessions or his staff wrote, or had major input into Trump's written immigration policy.
King's also the one whose tweets contained the most specific claims that Ben Carson was dropping out of the campaign just before the Iowa caucus voting took place.
That may sound like a complaint, but it was intended as a compliment.
King and Trump will work well together.
At least Trump HAS something to “copy and paste”
Obama had NOTHING and we’ve been stuck with him for eight years.
.
Trump / King ?!
Man, that is a big giant target for the Libs, but it could be genius to keep talking heads focused on, ridiculing, and steam rolling the theme of Trump as ‘King’, while Trump attacks the liar on actual substance right over their yapping heads to we the people.
A far better source than some horror from writer Steven King or Representative Peter King.
Sounds like sour grapes to me
Seems like he should be happy about this
The ticket could be Trump/King, or it could be Trump,King.
If Trump copied King, why didn’t King run for President?
King is no Trump.
Whatever.
King is still, along with the Duncan Hunters, the best on illegal aliens.
Been hearing this same bleat since the USSR invented the cheeseburger.
Why should the gov’t at all levels (state, local) be run like a business? Simple.
