Mass illegal immigration advocate and U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT) will now have to face challengers in the Utah GOP primary. That's the first time he's had to do that since 1998, and his stance on immigration probably had a great deal to do with it. Cannon is referred to as President Bush's "point man" on immigration, and he's also a recipient of the Excellence in Leadership Award from MALDEF.
Let's hope that Matt Throckmorton beats him in the primary; most of their positions are the same except for their stance on immigration.
