Arrested at the Capitol… then Invited to the State of the Union?

Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) proudly announces that his guest to the State of the Union is Mayra Rubio Limon.  In the glowing biography of this woman featured on the U.S. government website, he fails to mention: (1) she’s an illegal alien; and (2) she was arrested last November at the Capitol Hill office of another Member of Congress.

Rep. Garcia is not the only one who has invited illegal aliens.  Sitting with Michelle Obama is illegal alien Cristian Avila.  Illinois delegation members Reps. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) and Bill Foster (D- Ill.), invited Estefania Garcia and Maria Torres, while Lucas Codognolla is the guest of Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.). All five have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows certain illegal aliens to stay and work in the United States for two years, with eligibility for extension.

This is yet another year in which illegal aliens are sitting in seats that should have been filled by American citizens.  Being a constituent is apparently not a prerequisite for guests of lawmakers at the State of the Union address.  Neither, evidently is respect for the law.

Watch below as Mayra Rubio Limon and ten other illegal alien activists being arrested by Capitol Police and escorted out of Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s office.
