Really? In a border state where half of last year's illegal crossings ocurred? Reuters reports:
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct 8 (Reuters) - Randy Graf became the Republican candidate for Congress by taking a tough stand on Mexican border security but he seems unable to win over voters with a month to go until the Nov. 7 election.
The former golf pro and state representative, who was part of a civilian volunteer force to halt illegal border crossings, is hoping a strong enforcement message that includes deploying troops along the border will draw the hard-line conservative vote in southern Arizona.
"They are mobilized already," Graf told Reuters in an interview. "We are talking seriously about stopping illegal immigration before we talk about any other issues."
Others doubt his pitch will work -- even in an area where almost half of the 1.2 million illegal immigrants caught crossing the U.S. border last year trekked north.
