In Virginia’s 5th District, a Victory for the ‘America First’ Immigration Agenda

Breitbart:

Conservative outsider Bob Good unseated Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District GOP primary in an upset that pit an “America First” immigration agenda against the conservative beltway’s record on the issue.

Riggleman has only held the congressional seat for two years and was endorsed by President Trump, Jerry Fallwell Jr., and House Freedom Caucus members. His record in the House, specifically on immigration, gave Good a leg up in a state that has been dramatically transformed by mass legal immigration levels over the last four decades.

After his win in 2018, Riggleman joined the House Freedom Caucus where most members have continued their “illegal immigration is bad, legal immigration is good” mantra despite Republican voters’ overwhelming support for reducing all immigration, including visa programs and total annual green card numbers.

Every year, the U.S. admits about 1.2 million legal immigrants on green cards to permanently resettle in the country. In addition, another 1.4 million foreign workers are admitted every year to take American jobs. Often, Americans are fired and replaced by foreign visa workers. Many are forced to train their foreign replacements. more

Bob Good For Congress.

  1. No no no it wasn’t his softness on immigration at all. It was those troglodyte cartoonish conservatives who got so mad about Riggleman officiating at a gay wedding. And Good cheated.

    Or so the media narrative goes.

  2. Now the Virginia GOP will refuse to help or support Mr. Good in any way. Every time us uppity voters choose a conservative over a “moderate” squish, the republican party of Virginia turns their back on us. That’s how we got to e a blue state; not because of immigration. The GOP has betrayed Virginia for almost 2 decades.
