A California congressman known for edgy sarcasm mocked an opponent of illegal immigration during a town hall meeting last week, asking, "Who are you going to kill today?" before the constituent, a self-identified Minuteman, posed his question.
Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., no stranger to controversy, mocked the idea that the borders are not secure when asked about the federal government's lack of activity on border security.
"We can't get enough Minutemen armed. We'd like to get all the Minutemen armed so they can stop shooting people here," Stark said.
Eventually, members of the audience urged Stark to offer a serious answer.
"If you knew anything about our borders, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you," Stark said, drawing jeers.

Just another IDIOT politician.
“Of course our borders are secure”
Well Mr Stark how do you explain 12 MILLION CRIMINALS that have ILLEGALLY entered this Country over those borders?
Stark is just displaying the classic contempt and hatred of leftists for anyone who disagrees with them. I imagine that many feudal lords reacted similarly when the peasants dared speak to them.
I would suggest it be ANYONE attempting to cross into the United States anywhere other than at specifically designated ports of entry.
ML/NJ
Howsa ‘bouts awarding Sanctuary status to Old Pete’s neighborhood. I’m sure folks just passing through would be appreciative of camping in his front yard. Neighbors would surely emulate his good will. Maybe even have neighborhood pot-luck block parties.
To paraphrase Rahm-bo “dead fish” Emmanuel - “Never let an IDIOT go to waste”!!
Thanks for stepping up, Pete!!
IDIOT!!!!
Maybe nature will soon do what the ballot box can't.
