Boise Tea Party Supports Raul Labrador (R-ID)
We cannot let Labrador win this Primary. Although he talks big about securing the border and ending illegal immigration, he never answers the question when he's asked what he would do with the millions who are already here in this country. Raul Labrador is an immigration attorney who is also a seated Idaho State Representative. He represents illegals in court to stop their deportation. He even represented an admitted human smuggler, who after serving his time in an Idaho prison, was slated for deportation. Labrador fought in Appeals Court to try to get the judge to let this criminal stay here even though he knew the man was wanted for murder in his own country. Labrador was willing to put Idahoans at risk by fighting to allow this criminal to walk free on our streets.

Henderson joined Ward’s campaign on April 29; until Friday, O’Barto served as both campaign manager and spokesman.
