Virgil Goode's office gets flooded with calls regarding immigration issues
Goode says office flooded with calls over immigration (6/17)

Congressman Virgil Goode says his office has been flooded with calls from Virginians concerned about illegal immigration.

He's pleased the Senate defeated its amnesty bill. A three- tiered wall the length of the Mexican border, he believes, would do the trick.

Goode also wants to put a stop to what he calls "anchor babies," those granted citizenship after being born in the United States to illegal aliens.

"And then you can get all kinds of social services benefits. Well it needs to be, if you're in the country illegally and you have a kid, that kid's illegal too," said Rep. Virgil Goode.

Goode supports efforts to grant immigration enforcement power to State Police. He's also co-sponsoring a bill to make English the official language of the U-S.

The Congressman fears failing to do so will result in portions of some Southwestern states trying to secede from the nation.
