And Utah is not a politcally conservative state? Huh?

That election was a speed bump, nothing more.
Well Jacobs kind of imploded after the whole giving money to illegals disclosure. Long time from June to November so don't doom and gloom, or fist pump prematurely.
Well, now that we've heard from the mouthpiece and advocate for the Mexican citizens in the U.S., it would be nice to hear the voices of those who advocate and support U.S. citizens.
If too many Republicans believe this election to be a bell-weather that says 'nobody cares about immigration', my predicitons of a GOP nightmare November are back on course.
Are u out of your Blue PA State Mind?
Do you u think Chis Cannon's 19 000 Votes will override the rest of the Nations 100 Million voters.
You won a battle against a novice who made mistakes.
Onward To The House Field Hearings On The Senate Bill!
That Should Be an interesting battle when the Senate Bill is exposed for the Sham it is.
And John McInsane got 75% of the vote in Arizona. Something stinks with those e-voting machines.
Senators Hatch and Bennett are a liberal and a moderate?
That's not what I've seen by looking at their voting records.
I saw Jacob on TV , he came across a bit strange. Sorry, but first impressions are everything.
people are reading into the election things that the election doesn't symbolize.
People chose an incumbant over a person who acted kind of nuts.
This is surprising?
Jacobs was a lousy (not to say borderline loony) candidate. It wasn't the (immigration) message. It was definitely the messenger. Whether it was really his fault or a hostile media and an effective negative campaign by the Cannon folks is moot. Jacobs was defeated, not the question of dealing effectively with the border.
The race in California a few weeks ago was much more indicative of the mood across the country. A serious candidate with a serious position won with addressing border security first as his primary message.
Wasn't this the race where one of the candidates started talking about Satan?

I'm really curious about this one.
I understand why in California or Texas, illegal aliens are a big issue. They are, after all, there.
I live in Pennsylvania, a cold weather state that's losing population. Right now, Republican incumbant Senator Rick Sanatorium is running radio ads discussing his opposition to illegal aliens.
From what I can see, quite bluntly, Pennsylvania could use illegal immigrants, even those that have children and user city services. We need young people. Our school taxes are absurd because huge buildings with few students are being maintained. A few extra students would not kill us and would probably help the vitality of our area. And I daresay the same is true of hospitals and other institutions that are overloaded elsewhere in the country.
My foggy impression is that Utah is a similar type of location - another cold weather place losing population to the South and West. Per Wikipedia, it would have lost population without migration from outside of the US.
I would think that the 60,000-odd people who immigrated into the state from a foreign country would be easily absorbed into a population of 2.5 million, and therefore illegal immigration would not be much of a concern, if not any at all.
So why on earth would someone run on an anti-illegal platform in a state where there are not enough illegals to matter?
I think illegals would be largely welcome in most states where populations are shrinking or treading water. The big problems with illegals in California are due to huge numbers that strain resources locally. I'll bet if we could encourage them to migrate more evenly throughout the country we would have little problem absorbing them.
But I think most Mexicans and other illegals would have a very hard time living in cold weather states.
Thoughts?
