10 Lawmakers Named to Immigration Group's 'Hall of Shame'

The Hill reports that: Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who once suggested handling illegal immigrants in a way similar to how farmers handle livesock, took first place in a "Hall of Shame" list compiled by the Immigrants' List political action committee. The group named eight other Republicans and one Democrat Tuesday, claiming they are "the biggest obstacles" to overhauling the nation's immigration laws. In its biannual "Hall of Shame" list, obtained first by The Hill, the PAC took aim at Steve King, eight other Republicans and lone Democrat Rep. Heath Shuler (N.C.)for "spreading misinformation, preying on fear, and blocking the reform America wants and needs." The PAC also names Reps. Lamar Smith (Texas), Ed Royce(Calif.), Peter King (N.Y.), Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Brian Bilbray (Calif.), Candice Miller (Mich.), Ben Quayle (Ariz.), and Sen. John Boozman (Ark.).
