Rep. Steve King (R-IA) Designs Electric Fence for Border and Equates Immigrants With Livestock:
"We could also electrify this wire with the kind of current that would not kill somebody, but it would be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it. We do that with livestock all the time."
-- Rep. Steve King (R-IA)

Update: Think Progress has the video: "Rep. Steve King (R-IA) went on the House floor on Tuesday to discuss a fence that he 'designed' for the southern border. (King constructed a model of the fence as he was speaking.) King’s design features a wire electrified 'with the kind of current that would not kill somebody.'"
