(Raleigh--NC) The national organization that played a key role in the defeat of Eric Cantor due to his support for a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants is asking Congress to abandon efforts to install Kevin McCarthy or Raul Labrador as majority leader in today's vote.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) used a new innovative strategy to affordably warn GOP voters about Cantor's amnesty support and is now warning Republican lawmakers against electing Kevin McCarthy or Raul Labrador to the position of majority leader because both have views on immigration reform amnesty almost identical to Eric Cantor's!

"Why are Republican lawmakers being forced to choose between two amnesty supporters and why is there no candidate running yet for majority leader who represents the views of those of us who defeated Cantor?" asked William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "A large majority of Republican voters and members of Congress oppose immigration reform amnesty, which was the message of Cantor's defeat, and it will be a slap in the face to most Republicans if they install a Cantor Clone like McCarthy or Labrador as majority leader today!"

ALIPAC is asking all Americans who opposed both Eric Cantor and his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants to call Republicans in Congress in large numbers today before the vote demanding they choose a majority leader from among the more than 100 Representatives who oppose amnesty like Cantor's opponent Dave Brat, who won by a landslide despite being outspent 10 to 1!

Front runner Representative Kevin McCarthy is endorsed for majority leader by Eric Cantor and many other pro amnesty Republicans. McCarthy has in the past expressed support for giving undocumented immigrants a path to legal status which is considered to be amnesty by most GOP voters as such legal status would eventually grant illegals voting rights, access to social services, and legal access to more higher paying American jobs.

Raul Labrador, who is being falsely cast as a "Tea Party" backed challenger to McCarthy for this position, was quoted by Kate Nocero of Politico (3/20/13) saying “What I think should happen is for illegal immigrants to come out of the shadows, become legalized in some way and that status could lead in someway to legal residency and citizenship eventually but just the same as everybody else”

American citizens who do not want to see Eric Cantor replaced as majority leader by another immigration reform amnesty supporter have until this afternoon to voice their concerns to Republican members of Congress. Perhaps if enough people speak out, McCarthy and Labrador can be stopped just as Eric Cantor was.
