Okoboji, Iowa (CNN) Republican Rep. Steve King was confronted Monday night at his own fundraiser by an undocumented immigrant and activist who argued with the Iowa congressman over his stance on immigration.
Erika Andiola, whos involved with the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition, mostly took issue with Kings vote last week to curb the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that allows certain young people - who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children - to delay deportation.
House Republicans argue the policy, enacted under President Barack Obama's administration, has helped spur the crisis in which more than 60,000 children from Central America have fled to the U.S.-Mexico border this year.
Andiola introduced herself as a beneficiary of DACA as King was eating dinner at the fundraiser, which took place at an open restaurant in Okoboji, Iowa.
I know you really want to get rid of DACA, so I just wanted to give you the opportunity and rip mine, Andiola said, handing King a piece of paper.
The congressman studied the paper and stood up, saying, This is not what I do.
The two then entered a lengthy back-and-forth with both talking over each other repeatedly. In the exchange, King defended his 2013 controversial comments about undocumented immigrants having calves the size of cantaloupes.
I spoke of drug smugglers, he told Andiola. Now youre not here to tell me youre one of them, are you?
Andiola said she came to the country from Mexico with her mother when she was 11 and has lived in the U.S. for 17 years. She said her mother was escaping an abusive relationship, and they already had family in the U.S., so they came across the border.
Her mom had applied to get into the U.S. legally but was denied, she said.

Why didn’t Rep. King have the undocumented immigrant and activist arrested?
Don’t mess with Steve...he destroyed those two
has lived in the U.S. for 17 years and never tried to be a Citizen
Drag her sorry butt to jail and then deport her (and that’s just for interrupting dinner!) ;’)
For those low-information liberals that don’t know, “undocumented” means ILLEGAL.
video at the link; King was professional, informative and respectful...when the illegal found she wasn’t getting her way she said “i gotta go” then left...
I hope King sliced and diced the “undocumented” invader.
Andiola said she came to the country from Mexico with her mother when she was 11
_____________________________________
she knew she was doing wrong when she arrived...
My 11 yo American citizen granddaughter knows illegal aliens are breaking the law..
why would this “wise Latina” not know that ???
BTW my granddaughter considers it “rude” to come here illegally and then complain about the AC and ham sandwiches at the shelters...
Because our government doesn’t arrest foreign criminal invaders any more.
She said her mother was escaping an abusive relationship,
_____________________________________________
why didn’t her mother just go to the local police about her boyfriend..
or just leave him..
going to another country is not the answer..
He could follow her here..
this is just a lying excuse..
Her mom had applied to get into the U.S. legally but was denied, she said.
_____________________________________
so her mother was not fit or qualified to be an American..
and showed it by blatantly breaking our laws..
“Her mom had applied to get into the U.S. legally but was denied, she said.”
There’s good reason for the denial and that’s why she and her family are ILLEGALS. GO HOME!
Have him arrested and deported. Illegals have no standing here.
This chick purposely had HER MOTHER drive (mom has no id) so she could get pulled over (which she did commit a driving infraction) and mom could get hauled to jail (her mother was cited and released for NO ID). Never mind that it was NIGHT so there was NO CHANCE the officer that pulled her over could see in the car as it drove by that she had “brown” skin. Apparently this chick would like it that those with her ethnicity, skin color, and illegal immigrant status get a free pass on driving infractions. She was ready to capture the stop with her cell phone and posted it. Erika KNOWS even though it was night, that her mother wasn’t going 10 miles over the limit, it was because she was “brown”. American CITIZENS get taken in for not having ID (depending on what else is going on) and cited for not having a driver’s license while driving. She is an AGITATOR given blessings to break laws, by this Administration.

This “undocumented” chick had a job working for our communist/bi-sexual Rep. in Congress, Kyrsten Sinema.

A typical nasty illegal who thinks they are entitled to live here because they’ve been here so long. A squatter who lives on property for over seven years in some states gains ownership of the property, so it is important to keep watch over what belongs to you.
That’s what we should have done after Reagan trusted the lying Democrats to close the border after he granted illegals amnesty. After the coming amnesty, we’ll just rinse and repeat with another wave of squatters who demand citizenship because in their twisted minds, they are entitled to it.
In those days, the law made a clear distinction between people like Ricardo and his family and the gang members, reconquistdors and people who wanted to carve out ethnic enclaves and suckle off the government teat. As a result, the entire family either became naturalized citizens or (in grandma's case) was granted permanent residency.
They also made no secret of the fact that they loved Reagan and despised the fakers in the second category who made it tough for the others who embraced America.
If we had more people like Ricardo and his family and fewer gang members, reconquistdors and people who wanted to carve out ethnic enclaves and suckle off the government teat, we could afford a limited number of amnesty seekers.
Guess which party wants to make it impossible to distinguish between the two grooups. (Sadly, the correct answer is "both", but I'm excluding the conservative wing of the GOP).
Of course the usual suspects in the media are spinning this and this chick has plastered her confrontation up on youtube. Apparently she had “schooled” Rep. King and masterfully so.
Right!!
“Andiola said she came to the country from Mexico with her mother when she was 11 and has lived in the U.S. for 17 years.”
Do you know what would happen to you if you owed 17 years back taxes?
Illegal Immigrant “men” are REQUIRED BY LAW to register for the Selective Service. When researching, I figured out that the COMPLIANCE RATE among the Illegal Immigrants was essentially CLOSE TO ZERO.
