Rep. Steve King wants to give U.S. Capitol Police the authority to enforce federal immigration laws on Capitol Hill, where illegal immigrants have staged protests, demonstrations and sit-ins over the past few years in a bid to push lawmakers into passing bills that would give them with path to citizenship or legalization.

King, R-Iowa, is a staunch opponent of immigration reform that provides a pathway to citizenship for the millions of people who live here illegally, and he wants Capitol Police to have the power to arrest illegals.
