Immigration issue gaining force in election campaign - Oregon

“In a pink cinderblock Grange hall in heavily Hispanic Boardman, the immigration issue, nearly absent from the gubernatorial campaign until recently, was very much alive and not sitting well.

The dozen or so Hispanic farmworkers who gathered with The Associated Press said that while they can’t vote, they wished candidates would see things as they do.

The immigration issue cooled after a Republican primary fight in which Ron Saxton and Kevin Mannix jousted to see who could be to the right of whom.”
