(FROM THE ARTICLE: Foster's Republican challenger, dairy magnate Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove, said his opponent's plan would give illegal border crossers a new road to hop on once they cross into the states. He added that the solution isn't as complex as Foster is painting it to be. "Enforce our laws. It's really that simple," Oberweis said in a telephone interview. "If we enforce our laws against companies that are taking advantage of people here illegally (by employing them), we will end the economic incentive for people to break those laws.")

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the Republican side, House Republican Leader Tom Cross had nearly $1.1 million in the bank, but a spokesman said much of it would go to retaining and winning seats in the legislature. DuPage County Chairman Robert Schillerstrom had $462,338 on hand in late June, which included a noticeable $374,970 fundraising effort in the first half of the year. DuPage County State's Attorney Joe Birkett, who lost in bids for attorney general and lieutenant governor, raised $63,782 and had just $96,713 as of June 30.)
