Joe Carr: Lamar Alexander Allowing Illegal Immigrants to Assault U.S. Sovereignty
breitbart.com ^ | 6/16/14 | Tony Lee

Dave Brat's shocking victory over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) last week has inspired conservative underdogs like Joe Carr, a Tennessee state Representative who is challenging establishment Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) in an August 7th primary, to win their primaries against all odds.

Carr, who represents a district in Middle Tennessee, appeared on Breitbart News Sunday and told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that he is taking on Alexander because Alexander represents the sense of "complacency" and "malaise" in D.C. while illegal immigrants and the Obama administration's lawlessness are assaulting the country's sovereignty.

Carr has led on illegal immigration issues in the statehouse, successfully passing into law E-verify bills and others that prohibited taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants and banned sanctuary cities.

He said his campaign has been building a grassroots network throughout the state in anticipation of a "seminal and catalyst event that was going to turn everything upside down" before the August primary. And Cantor's upset was the spark that the campaign had been preparing for.

"As I've crossed the state, [voters] want a government that is responsive to the idea of personal responsibility, individual liberty, free and fair markets, and return to the sovereignty of the state," Carr said. "Lamar Alexander is the absolute antithesis of that."

He said more people are visiting his website and learning about him after Cantor's loss, and voters are telling him they want a "reliable conservative" who is "reasonably articulate" to oust Alexander.

Carr said many of the themes that Brat used to topple Cantor, like tying his embrace of amnesty to his broader support of crony capitalist policies, can be used against Alexander, who has a C- grade from Numbers USA and poor ratings on sticking up for American workers.

If Tennessee elects Lamar again, all the illegals should be bussed to Tennessee and dumped there.

Large sections of south Nashville are already known as Little Mexico.

Rural Tennessee is also dotted with illegal migrant shanty towns.

Especially around McMinnville which has the nursery stock farming industry that attracts them.

I say we bus them all to Washington DC and make sure they keep them and deal with them in a humane manner.

Exactly! If Obama can bus them around the country, why can't Governors just bus them back? If Obama screams it's illegal, then have Obama arrested for doing the same thing.

Sometimes we need to defer to the wisdom of childhood: He did it first!

Why is sending them to DC off limits? I really do believe we should just send them all to DC.

I am with you on that. And it wouldn’t break my heart if you sent Lamar home from DC.
