A Republican Congressman has asked immigration officials to arrest illegal immigrants who attend President Trump’s State Of The Union speech tonight as guests of Democrats.

Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona made the request earlier this week.

According to CNN:

“Rep. Paul Gosar said he requested that US Capitol Police arrest undocumented immigrants attending President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

The Arizona Republican, who is known as an immigration hardliner, tweeted his request that police “consider checking identification of all attending the State of the Union address and arresting any illegal aliens in attendance.”
He added they should “arrest those using fraudulent social security numbers and identification to pass through security.”

 

considerable number of Democratic lawmakers are bringing undocumented immigrants to Trump’s State of the Union address amid the immigration debate that’s shaking out on Capitol Hill.”
