King, one of the most vocal critics of immigration in Congress, has made controversial statements in the past, including praise for far-right European politician Geert Wilders. He tweeted a cartoon of Wilders plugging a hole in a wall that read Western civilization in March.
Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We cant restore our civilization with somebody elses babies, King wrote at the time.

That, too, is diversity. But while he wants one kind of assimilation, we want another. Immigrants must adopt the *correct* American values. We have a bias. We think we're right. By definition, they're wrong.
However, cultural assimilation will happen, regardless, unless there are forces that prevent it.

There are several towns in his district that are just like mine.
Suck it King. Maybe this time you are gone. He has some good challengers next year.
