New York, Nevada Special Elections Produce Big Winner for Enforcement Advocates

Californians For Population Stabilization

The results of the two special Congressional elections held Tuesday hold good news for immigration enforcement advocates.

In Nevada, Republican Mark Amodei defeated Democrat Kate Marshall to win a House seat vacated after GOP Senator John Ensign resigned in May following an ugly ethics scandal. Governor Brian Sandoval appointed U.S. Rep. Dean Heller to fill Ensign’s Senate seat.

Amodei’s victory was widely anticipated. But it has the added advantage of putting Heller, strongly opposed to illegal immigration, into the Senate where we need more friends but still keeping a strong voice in the House. Amodei: “Illegal immigration is to Nevada and the Southwest what Hurricane Katrina was to Louisiana.â€

Always appreciate Good news. Lets keep this trend moving forward!

Absolutely, airdale! This is terrific news, and I hope we gain many more enforcement supporters in 2012.
