KING ASKED TO
TESTIFY AT HOUSE IMMIGRATION HEARING ON BORDER FENCE ISSUE
WASHINGTON - As the U.S. House
brings the immigration reform debate to the American people
through a series of immigration reform field hearings held
across the country, King has been asked by his colleagues to
testify at the hearing discussing prospective border fence
designs, tomorrow, Thursday, July 20th at 2:00 p.m.
EDT in Washington, D.C.
The witnesses expected to testify
at the joint hearing, held by subcommittees of the House
Government Reform and Homeland Security Committees, are King and
Reps. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Silvestre Reyes (D-TX).
King has long been a proponent of
curbing illegal immigration through border security, including a
border fence and employer enforcement. He has designed a plan
for a concrete border wall to span the entire length of the
southern border at a fraction of the cost of other shorter
border fence proposals. The structure would be designed to make
it difficult to scale or tunnel under.
King serves on the House
Immigration Subcommittee and the Immigration Reform Caucus.
