Rep. Randy Weber (R-AZ) gives a pretty good example of the flavor of things today at the Steve King
press conference/rally against immigration reform:
Mr. President. Build up this wall. [...] We need some sanity. The things that made America great are Americans like you that work and understand that it's sacrifice. You don't get to come over here and be takers.
You need only listen to his words to know that Mr. Weber is a bigot. But he's also an idiot: Immigration reform isn't just the right thing to do from a moral perspective, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, it would reduce the deficit—
by a lot. This isn't a tough choice: Immigration reform isn't just good for people who want to become Americans, it's also good for people who already are Americans.
