The fate of amnesty legislation this year may depend on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) margin of victory Tuesday in a primary campaign that has surprisingly emerged as a high-profile immigration battle.
While a trio of House Republicans – Reps. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), Paul Ryan (R-WI), and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) – are canvassing the GOP conference on whether there is appetite to tackle immigration before the August recess, Cantor has had to fend off a long-shot, underfunded economics professor who rose in the polls by relentless attacking Cantor on the issue.
In the closing hours of the campaign, Randolph-Macon economics professor David Brat launched yet another immigration broadside on Cantor, declaring, “a vote for Eric Cantor on June 10th is a vote for open borders and lower wages” and that “Cantor's absolute determination to pass amnesty knows no bounds."
Cantor's political hands, meanwhile, sought to frame the opposition as an inside-the-beltway battle between himself and conservative media outlets like Breitbart that have closely watched the race.
“The glitterati doesn't want to talk about... [economic] issues because it doesn't view them as sexy,” Ray Allen, Cantor's top political consultant, told National Journal.
Tough words from someone who works for Cantor, who is well-known for his attendance at the Davos Economic Forum, Aspen Ideas Festival, and similar gatherings of the world's political and business elite.

Let’s face it, the GOPe works for the corporate monied interests (just like the Dems) not for the voters. That’s who calls the shots.
This is Primary Election Day for Virginia politicians. Encourage all Conservatives in Virginia to VOTE today! “Rubberstamp for Obama,” Eric Cantor is “hellbent” on ramming through the US House Obama’s Amnesty for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico.
The GOP-E Leadership in the US House, (Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan), is always gullible to Obama’s tricks. Consequently, Boehner, Cantor and Ryan, have all pledged to ram through this unpopular Obama Amnesty Bill due to Obama’s illegal decision to flood the USA with children from Mexico and Central America.
It is time to kick the GOP-E out of Congressional Leadership!
Stop Cantor today by voting for Dr. BRAT!
I have no idea why, but it seems as though the House Leadership is about to throw the November election to the Democrats by supporting amnesty and the illegal non-enforcement of immigration laws. The outcome will be a Jeb Bush candidacy in 2016 because conservatives would once again stay home.
I am becoming more and more concerned for 2016 because it seems that the Hillary machine is moving into full gear. I learned yesterday that the Obamas bought a house in Asheville, N. C. last week and that can mean only one thing, that Michelle really is going to run for the Senate and try to turn North Carolina Democrat.
Was Mrs. Bill Clinton “Broke-Broke?”
Did Mrs. Bill Clinton “Lie-Lie?”
If Mrs. Bill Clinton “Lied-Lied” about being “Broke-Broke,” then perhaps we should ask what she plans to “Do-Do?”
Well put.
“the Obamas bought a house in Asheville, N. C.”
Chicago’s loss is Asheville’s loss.
There goes the neighborhood.
Michelle on the ballot will bring out the Black voters in droves.
I don’t think all those 60,000 illegal alien children we are paying for have dropped their Mexican/Honduran/Guatemalan dream at all ...
they are living it right now ...
its the American taxpayers who are suffering the nightmare....
