Congressman to townhall, “The borders are quite secure.” Pete Stark scoffs, mocks, and lies about the US’s border security

FREEMONT, CA— "Who are you going to kill today?" Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) openly mocked a town-hall attendee who identified himself as part of the Minute Men project. The infamously outspoken democrat in the past has said President Bush sent troops into an illegal war, “to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement.”

Among other sarcastic remarks, when asked about the influx of illegals coming over the border, Stark replied, "If you knew anything about our borders, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you."

"I would send about, about 25,000 troops for one thing and build a wall down so vehicles could not pass," the Minuteman said.

"How high and long would it be?" Stark asked.

"As high and as long as it takes," the Minuteman said, eliciting applause.

"But I've got to know how high the wall is and I'll sell a whole lot of ladders for people who want to come," Stark replied in defiance.

Mr. Stark is no doubt in what he believes to be a safe district, but the border issue—in poll after poll—cuts across ideological and party lines. Stark has been in congress since 1973 and proves the usefulness for term limits.
