Illegal Immigration Shaping Congressional Elections in Key Border States

The Republican candidate for Congress in Arizona's Eighth District, Randy Graf, won his party's primary in spite of opposition from the Republican National Committee in Washington.  National party leaders believed the Golf professional and former state legislator was too focused on immigration and not prepared to replace retiring Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe, who has held the seat for more than 20 years.

But Randy Graf says the party strategists in Washington don't understand what the immigration issue means for those who live in a district that includes half of the state's total border with Mexico. By GREG FLAKUS for Voice of America.
