Minuteman Runs for Congress

On Tuesday, December 6th, a special election is being held in California for a safe Republican seat to fill the vacancy left by Christopher Cox, who was appointed chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The election features a run-off between Republican state Senator John Campbell against anti-immigrationist self-syled “minuteman” vigilante Jim Gilchrist.  His candidacy has a single issue: illegal immigration.  Immigration Daily is confident that he will lose, underscoring once again that anti-immigration sentiments are not widely endorsed by the general public. No doubt, the anti-immigrationists will attempt to spin Mr. Gilchrist’s expected loss into a symbolic victory for their misguided cause. We are

confident that the voters of California will make the wise choice and reject Mr. Gilchrist.
