Steve King: ‘I Know’ Jihadists Are Coming Over The Border From Mexico
TPM tracked down Congressman Steve King at CPAC today, and asked him whether he thinks jihadists are coming over the southern border of the U.S., like Rep. Sue Myrick and Rick Santorum have claimed.
“I know there is. I know from reports that we occasionally pick up ‘people of interest from nations of interest,’” King said, explaining that “people of interest from nations of interest” is a government euphemism for jihadists.
King continued: “I am concerned about it. They know around the globe that our southern border is porous. And the ‘people of interest from nations of interest’ will pay sometimes a nice check to be smuggled into the United States.”
Myrick, Santorum, and other Republicans have repeatedly claimed that agents of Hezbollah are infiltrating the United States by posing as illegal immigrants.
