Joni Ernst, the newly-elected Iowa senator who's giving the Republican response in English, is a standard conservative immigration hardliner. She's going to be speaking at an immigration summit this weekend hosted by Rep. Steve King of Iowa — the leading immigration hawk in the House of Representatives. (Jeb Bush, who's generally attempted to be a moderate on this issue, is pointedly refusing to attend King's conference because he finds King too radical.) And in 2007, as a county auditor, Ernst joined a lawsuit against Iowa state officials for offering voting materials in languages other than English.You mean... the nice gal from Southwest Iowa is actually a wing-nut.... who'd have thunk it?
