It's about a fabulous solution and an immigration platform NOT the Party!
Let's think POSITIVE!!
I think there's a surprise coming about this issue.
Because, most of the people braving the truth about illegal aliens and trying to realize real, practical solutions to the problem (I include "deport illegal aliens" efforts in the practical measures) are proving to be supported by majorities among voters.
It's proven to be unproductive to most voters by now -- that those people who display fear of pursuing forceful measures about the illegal immigration problem offer good candidacy -- and a lot of us are actually dissuaded by candidates who are fearful or dodge answering straightforwardly questions about these issues.
Ah, but I think I see your point as to the 30% of votes in Illinois...since the other 70% are the votes from the deceased and illegal aliens. Ha. ~;-D
For a third party, 30% (even 25%) would be quite astounding.
