Rep. Stark: I'll sell ladders to illegals at border wall

Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat, appears to think security on our borders is not an important issue. The Golden Gate Minutemen posted video of an exchange during a recent town hall meeting on June 26 in Fremont, where the congressman asked a border security advocate in attendance, "Who are you going to kill today?" Mr. Stark continued to heckle and mock the town hall attendees who reacted in disbelief as the congressman disrespected his own constituents. (all emphasis is mine)

Mr. Stark made such outrageous statements like:

"If you knew anything about our border, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you."

What a ridiculous remark. The Federation for American Immigration and Reform cites Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Naturalization Services estimates on this issue:

Corrupt scum rises to the top.

[tacticalogic]

He’d be selling them counterfeit documentation, too.

[Sopater]

... so long as they vote for me.

[I still care]

Horrible man. I guess his constituents must like him, they keep electing him. But I’m so glad America is not mostly like him, or we would be a third world country.

[Buckeye McFrog]

from his record as a Congressman, Pete Stark always struck me as someone who would make a better ladder salesman

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Stark is another litmus test, for me. I have not heard whether he is up for re-election this cycle. If CA voters re-elect him and re-elect Boxer, it’s all over.

[Logical me]

Horrible man. I guess his constituents must like him, they keep electing him.

Yup. Stupid California voters in his district keep voting for him. Shows what the conservative Constitutionalists voter have to put up with. Where did this insane come from?

[A_Former_Democrat]

They’re so hopeless now they’re in total denial. This guy is truly mentally ill. He should be removed from office and hospitalized.

[EyeGuy]

The hideously arrogant and ignorant Stark has long been the absolute worst among the already VERY bad lot of CongressScum.

Smegma.

[Ol' Sparky]

"I'll tell you what, we'll go down there, and you design the wall and as soon as we know that you won't shoot the people coming over, then I'll go down and start a ladder company, but I don't know how high that wall is, and I'll sell a whole lot of ladders for people who want to come."

So, this godless, Communist freak is advocating breaking the law and aiding and abetting criminals? He lose his job just for making these comments.

"He should be removed from office and hospitalized. "

I'm surprised he's not based on the way he was insulting some of those people at the meeting....

[brothers4thID]

He's a Congressman dear, they are ALWAYS up for re-election every 2 years.

[mo]

So “our” “representatives” basically are declaring war upon the people!!!??

Tar, feathers and a rough pine log come to mind....for some reason

[Kozak]

Starks in the House. Of course he’s up for reelection.

[ozzymandus]

What a combination of arrogance and ignorance. His constituents should be ashamed.

[claymax]

All Reps are up for reelection, every two years. Senators are every six

[claymax]

All Reps are up for reelection, every two years. Senators are every six

[albie]

...and I’ll PAY for the ladder that leads them to this pathetic POS’s bedroom window!

[Rumplemeyer]

Shi...er...Poop flats
