| Description | A local official of Mexican descent who has become a controversial figure for his hardline stance against illegal immigration announced Friday he would run for Congress.
Canyon County Commissioner Robert Vasquez, the grandson of Mexican immigrants, said he would base his campaign for the House seat being vacated by Rep. C.L. "Butch" Otter largely on battling illegal immigration.
"I'm not a hyphenated American," he said. "I speak Spanish, I eat enchiladas, I appreciate my culture, but I love my country." |
