Steve King said "This is about immigration. It is about immigration. I know it is because I see the apologists for illegal immigrants come to the floor and give speech after speech after speech. And the people over on this side of the aisle want to open the borders and allow as many illegals in because they think they can get them to vote for their guy. And the people over on this side making the argument are multinational corporation apologists who want to get as many people in because it is cheap labor. That is the equation. In the middle are the patriotic Americans who believe that we have to have cultural continuity in this country and the rule of law.
