Peter T. King, the Republican Congressman who wrote the legislation responsible for the proposed wall on the U.S/Mexican border, defended his project in New York City yesterday. In a brief interview with the NYC Spanish language daily paper El Diaro/LA PRENSA, King said the wall provided needed security to citizens of the United States. At a breakfast sponsored by Americans for a Better New York (ABNY) King stated that one of the other goals of the wall is to save lives. It wasn’t clear if he meant the lives of the many that die trying to come into the United States or the lives of United States Citizens who are threatened by stereotypically dangerous brown people.
