| Description | Amid the crowded field of Republicans vying for a seat in the Senate here, Jim Oberweis seems a most unlikely insurgent. He is a
wealthy supporter of President Bush who favors pinstriped suits, tax cuts and a constitutional amendment blocking same-sex marriage.
But in recent weeks, Mr. Oberweis, a plainspoken dairy owner, has become a
leader in a widening conservative revolt against the president's sweeping plan to grant temporary legal status to millions of illegal immigrants.
"The president's plan is just plain wrong," Mr. Oberweis says in a radio
advertisement and at public appearances that have drawn hundreds of
supporters to his campaign. "I want to be the voice for Illinois voters to tell the president we think illegal immigration cannot be rewarded with amnesty." |
