CALDWELL -- Canyon County Commissioner Robert Vasquez announced today that he is running for Congress in 2006.
KTVB
Canyon County Commissioner Robert Vasquez is running for Idaho's First Congressional seat in 2006.
The Caldwell Republican vowed to do all he can to defend our nation’s borders from illegal immigrants.
“How can our federal representatives strive to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, while asking our young men and women to secure a foreign border, but ignoring ours, and allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter literally at will,� Vasquez said.
Vasquez stated he does not want to see Idaho become like California and Arizona.
“Those who are aware of the illegal aliens overwhelming the medical and social services of those states realize that it will take a different mentality to honestly address the issue,� Vasquez said.
Vasquez said Congress has ignored important matters to Idaho such as illegal immigration, failed to stop the CAFTA from going forward, ignored the affects of the World Trade Organization on American industry, and continues to send our young men and women to fight in Iraq.
Vasquez is seeking the seat currently held by First District Congressman Butch Otter, who plans a run for governor in 2006.
