Several young activists organized by United We Dream, the nation's largest immigrant youth network, showed up at the congressional office of Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) with cantaloupes on Thursday afternoon to protest King's remarks last week during an interview with Newsmax. King had said many young undocumented immigrants whose parents brought them into the country illegally when they were children - dubbed DREAMers after the DREAM Act, which would have given them legal status and eventual citizenship if Senate Republicans had not shot it down in 2010 - had "calves the size of cantaloupes" from the effort of smuggling drugs into the United States from Mexico.
