A California congressman told a group of DREAM Act-eligible students that he understands what it’s like to be an immigrant because he was born in Arkansas. The Washington Post‘s Plum Line blog reported that Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) was confronted by a group of young immigrant activists at a political event in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

“You know, I’ve talked to a lot of young people like [you],” Miller told the activists. “I mean, I understand the difficulty. Just like I was born in Arkansas. I came here when I was a year old.”

Born in Arkansas and still he became a congressman? Cue the "Impossible Dream."

I guess moving to California didn't help his IQ. It is typical...after a very stupid central committee meeting, a woman I met asked what I intended to do; I remarked I was going to make sure my passport was current and renew. She asked, in all sincerity "What state are you moving to?"
