Idaho: Conservative

My issue is illegal immigration

I mostly aggre with Michael "Mike" Crapo who is a Senator from Idaho Link to his website: []

__Issues that he and I both agree with:__ ~ Pro-Life (abortion is wrong) ~ U.S. borders need to be strengthened to keep illegal immigration to a minimum ~ Doesn't believe in stem-cell research ~ Supports minority groups ~ Using the media to demote teenage meth use ~ Supports Constitutional Amendment for school prayer

__Interesting facts about Idaho:__ ~ 13th largest state in the US ~ Great Seal of Idaho was the only Great Seal in the US to be designed by a woman ~ State bird is the Mountain Bluebird ~ 3,100 miles of rivers - more than any other state ~ State flower is the Syringa

__How illegal immigration affects Idaho:__ ~ 6% of our illegal immigrants are from Canada ~ During the 1990s, Idaho gained approximately 35,000 immigrants bringing the total illegal immigrant population to 64,000 ~ This accounted for 12% of the state’s total population increase ~ About 166,000 people in Idaho are immigrants or the children of immigrants, which is 13% of the state’s population ~ 47% of Idaho’s immigrant population has arrived in the state since 1990, which demonstrates the impact of recent policies of mass immigration

__Three Issues and My Viewpoints:__ ~One issue is illegal immigration... I think illegal immigration laws need to be enforced more and we need stricter boundaries and more of a "airport security" type of search method. We should use metal dectectors and luggage scanners and things of that nature. We should do all we can to keep illegal immigrants out. ~Another issue is abortion... I think abortion is wrong and that adoption is an option. Everyone should have the right to life and if you don't want the child, you can always give it to a loving family that does. ~The last issue is enviornmental issues... I think we should do all we can to improve our enviornmental situation such as using wind energy (windmills), soloar energy, (solar panels), and hydro energy (water mills).
