Legal Immigrant Runs for US Congress to Fight Illegal Immigration

Vijay Kumar, a Bellevue, TN resident, is running for the Republican nomination in the August 7th primary for the 5th US Congressional district, presently held by Rep. Jim Cooper (D). A legal immigrant who has lived in Nashville for twenty-one years, Mr. Kumar’s platform emphasizes a strict immigration policy that centers on enforcing existing laws and protecting our borders, helping the U.S. develop a broad strategy to win the war against terrorism, promoting energy independence, and pro-life and pro-family legislation.

“As an immigrant, I know firsthand the value of what it means to come to America lawfully. I am grateful for being given the opportunity to live the American dream.â€
