Gardner, Sullivan and Tillis are pro amnesty. Joni Ernst should copy King and Grassley and pick a fight with Chuck Schumer to turn out more GOP voters. Pat Roberts is the only anti-amnesty candidate trailing. His problems stem from his beltway insider lifestyle.
Why Tillis doesn’t feel comfortable bashing amnesty:
“The other thing we’re going to do is send a very clear message to Washington that they can make our job a lot easier if they would deal with the issue that they’ve kicked down the road – Republicans and Democrats – for many, many years.”

August 2013: The GOP governor accused High Point area manufacturers of backing a bill McCrory vetoed that allows employers extra time to verify the legal status of a worker. The N.C. General Assembly this week overrode McCrory’s veto from earlier this summer of legislation that extends from three months to nine months the amount of time an employee can draw a paycheck without having his or her legal status cleared though a federal database known as E-Verify.

Tillis said the immigration bill was designed to help alleviate the problems that employers in the state face because of federal immigration procedures and policies. “The regulatory burden and complexity caused by federal inaction requires us to consider stop-gap measures while we wait for politicians in D.C. to take action,” he said. “This bill received strong bipartisan support and sought to provide clarity to employers and agencies regarding the impact of illegal immigration in North Carolina.”

Steve King is leading by 12 points in Iowa’s 4th. Much bigger lead than the Democrat lead in Iowa’s 1st and Iowa’s 2nd.
RINO David Young is in a tight race against liberal Staci Appel in Iowa’s 3rd. He could cost Ernst the race.
