Idaho Senator's replacement on illegal immigration

http://hotair.com/archives/2007/08/31/a ... n-tomorrow

AP: Craig to announce resignation tomorrow; Update: Will be replaced by Idaho Lt. Gov. Jim Risch

Update: Major Garrett is reporting on Fox News right now that the GOP told him to resign or the following would happen:
1. The Senate GOP leadership will call on him to resign.
2. The Republican Senate Campaign Committee will deny him re-election funds and recruit a primary challenger.
3. The RNC will announce that Republicans nationwide want him to resign.
Update:

The newest Republican senator will be Jim Risch. Letâ€™s see if we can find out his position on amnesty with a little Google magic.

Update: Promising so far:

Gov. Jim Risch ordered state agencies Wednesday to stop hiring illegal aliens by using a federal Web site to verify that new employees are eligible to work in the U.S.
The outgoing Republican governor wants local governments and private businesses to also use the voluntary and free screening system as a way to crack down on undocumented immigrants who are taking jobs and benefits away from legal residents.
â€œIdahoans deserve to have their tax dollars spent on legal, United States citizens,â€

Thanks for the up date in my home town, why didn't I see this and I have never heard of Hot Air!! :roll: MY GOSH can't believe it, I mean I knew Lt .Governor Risch was probably going to take his place but I didn't hear him or otter say anything about the e-verify, and I write Otter at least once a month ( e-mail) and get a letter back from him in the mail and not a form letter either! Amazing huh, the only one I know that does that!!

Thanks for the update. I wasn't sure where Risch stood.

Idaho passed 2 bills this year. Making English the official language, and another to deny government benefits to illegal aliens. I'm currently working with one of our state Senators to come up a plan to enforce immigration laws. Maybe 287 (g).

If I could get health insurance in Idaho I might consider it. Unfortunately, we don't have out-of-state health insurance. UGH We did at one time but it's gone now. We'd be eating mac & cheese for the rest of our lives if we paid the out-of-state cost.

That is good news about the new guy. We can breathe again for Idaho.

Thanks for the info on the wonderful state of Idaho. It's encouraging to know there are some sensible pols left. And don't worry, if I ever move to Idaho, I will have a job, pay my taxes, be a good neighbor, and cut my own lawn! (and of course, I'm a legal citizen..) :wink:
