Republican Congressman Steve King said today that we should send the illegal Haitians back home so they might help dig out their victims. May God Have mercy on your heartless, gutless, xenophobic and bigoted soul.
From the Des Moines Register:
Steve King: Send illegal Haitians back home right now

When ABC News [1] wanted to find a congressman that opposed halting deportations back to Haiti, guess who they contacted?
If you answered Tom Harkin [2], try again.
Steve King [3]says the 100,000+ Haitian nationals currently in the United States illegally should be sent back home as their homeland struggles to house and feed hundreds of thousands following this week’s massive earthquake.
“This sounds to me like open borders advocates exercising the Rahm Emanuel axiom: ‘Never let a crisis go to waste,’” Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said in an e-mail message to ABCNews. “Illegal immigrants from Haiti have no reason to fear deportation, but if they are deported, Haiti is in great need of relief workers, and many of them could be a big help to their fellow Haitians.” [4]
The snarky types at Wonkette didn’t hold back on what they viewed as King’s insensitivity:
Iowa Rep. Steve King, the #1 (expletive) in Congress, is exhibiting the more compassionate side of his (expletive) today (gross) in response to the Haitian crisis. Like many wingnuts, Steve King does not support granting temporary protected status (TPS) to undocumented Haitians living within the United States — a.k.a. he don’t support none dem Mexicans gittin’ amnesty for their pact with Mister Satan, a known devil. But not because they’ll simply take more and more (if not all) of our seven remaining American jobs if we let them live here another 18 months! He just wants to deport them so they can help rebuild Haiti, as relief workers. It’s a win-win for no one, ceptin’ America. [5]
