July 24, 2013
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Joe Garcia spoke about the offensive comments of Representative King against undocumented immigrants:
“We live in a great country improved for those individuals working without papers, day after day, who want nothing more than to share in the American dream to give their families a better life. That is no more evident than here in our community. For this reason, I am asking the members decent and compassionate Republican Caucus of the House of Representatives to denounce and condemn the comments anti-Hispanic Rep. King, “said Garcia.
“Demonizing these folks with obviously false statements, is just wrong and slows the progress that has been made on this topic. The good and righteous people can not let this happen. It’s time to stop dividing our community and instead, work together to find a way forward. “
Representative Garcia addressed the statements of Representative King’s yesterday’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security of the Judiciary Committee.
