In the wake of the disruption of former Congressman Tom Tancredo’s speech, conservative groups plan to bring to Chapel Hill next week another major critic of illegal immigration.

Former Rep. Virgil Goode of Virginia is scheduled to speak at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Wednesday, April 22nd at 6:30 p.m. at Gardner Hall.

Goode has been invited by the same campus group, Youth for Western Civilization, who brought in Tancredo, who was prevented from speaking on Monday night by protesters. His speech is being arranged by Team America, Tancredo’s political action committee.

The subject of his talk is “Hate Speech, Free Speech and the Multiculturalism.â€
