From what I could find, 31 states have RICO Laws: State Racketeering Laws and Introduction: RICO State by State: A Guide to Litigation Under the State Racketeering Statutes, Second Edition. Idaho RICO here: Idaho RICO: Chapter 78 RACKETEERING ACT
I like this quote from what you posted:
"NOTE If proof is established that RICOed criminal public officials impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
There's no way a huge influx of these people is Not going to impair the commercial and economic activity of the region.
Yes-—Hobbs is crucial. Has an astounding range of uses to nail elected/appointed officials and others on the public payroll.
I am aware of at least one case (could be more) where it was used to nail a local official...... he took bribes to vote a certain way....that vote imperiled the community’s economic viability.
NOTE: In passing state RICO laws We should pinpoint that the law is designed to nail indiviuals on the public payroll.....
That oughta throw a good scare into the nascent criminals.

REFERENCE Boston residents were outraged when the entire Chechnya family of the Boston Bomber were flown to his trial at taxpayers' expense.
BACKSTORY Immediately after the Boston bombing, then-Democrat Mass Gov Deval Patrick ordered Massachusetts govt agencies to conceal welfare documents from taxpayers. But sources who saw 500 pages of welfare documents (requested by a state legislator) told News Center 5 that the entire Chechnyan immigrant Tsarnaev family collected upwards of $100,00 tax dollars free and clear. MASS taxpayers financed the killing and maiming of their own friends and neighbors.
================================================
MASSACHUSETTS TAXPAYERS WERE UNKNOWINGLY FORCED TO FINANCE THE TSARNEV BROTHERS' DIRTY DEEDS BIGTIME ---Chechen immigrants--the bombers' parents----were eligible as legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria.
Multiple state agencies, on orders from Democrat Gov Deval Patrick (Obama's choice for Biden VP), refused to comment on the bomber brothers' welfare haul.
<><> WRT Tamerlan receiving UI benefits, Labor dept spokesman Kevin Franck refused to comment....
<><> Univ of Mass-- Dartmouth spokesman Robert Connolly refused to comment on the financial aid app of 19 -year-old soph Dzhokhar. 'It is our position - and I believe the accepted position in higher education - that student records including academic records and financial records (including financial aid) cannot under federal law be released without a studentâs consent.'
<><> The FCC would not discuss whether the suspected bombers had govt- paid Obamaphones.
<><> Cambridge housing officials would not comment on if the brothers had Section 8 rental subsidy offered by the HUD to low income households.
<><> Chechen immigrants--the bombers' parents--were legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria for endless SS checks.
<><> In sum, while planning the bombing, the Chechneyan immigrants received every conceivable tax-paid public benefit available out there.
