“And if Labrador wasn’t a smarmy immigration lawyer who’s admitted to representing illegal scumbag aliens”

Representing them for what?

Don’t forget that John Adams represented the British officer who was in command at the Boston Massacre (Probably fomented by Samuel Adams...ah, Sam, where are you now that we need you again?)

Under our system, even a guilty scumbag is entitled to representation.

If Labrador did something disreputable, could you please post more information on that? Thanks.

[wku man]

Something disreputable? How about missing a vote to get a bill that he himself sponsored (by the way, in his 4 years in the Idaho House, Lab has missed something like 170 votes) out of committee? He and Rep. Phil Hart sponsored HB 497 in this year's session...which would have ostensibly held employers of illegal scumbag aliens responsible for giving them jobs.

I say ostensibly, because it didn't require using e-Verify, and was therefore toothless. Only...Labrador wasn't there to even get his own bill out of committee! He was too busy campaigning, which shows how serious he is about "immigration reform".

So, where does Lab stand on "immigration reform"? He's worked extensively for the Idaho Dairymen's Association on immigration issues, which apparently has no reservations about representing as many as 40,000 illegal scumbag aliens (source: http://www.idahofreedom.net/blog/immigration-group-says-illegals-idaho-cost-taxpayers-195-million). Take a gander at the IDA's stance on "immigration reform":

"IDA seeks immigration reform that...
◦Allows temporary workers to be in the United States longer than 10 months
◦Does not require our employees to leave the country
◦Does not require our employees to 'get to the end of the line' to continue being our employees
◦Does allow them to remain being our employees on a renewable but temporary basis
◦Does not lead to citizenship or amnesty, that itself leads to citizenship. We support the routes to citizenship already in place.

Here's the URL if you want to check it out yourself:

With that in mind, how serious do you think Labrador is about fixing the illegal scumbag alien nightmare we're experiencing right now? Look, I don't know what you're willing to excuse in the name of getting another "R" on the rolls, but to me, an "R" like Labrador is no better than a "D" like Minnick. At least Minnick is:
1) a businessman, and
2) a veteran!
Labrador is neither. He also wants to make Puerto Rico a state, and what would that do to the balance in Congress?

I say again, those of us in the Idaho 1st CD have to choose between a friend of Nancy Peloser and a friend of illegal scumbag aliens.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
