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€

GOOD!!! Keep on trying until free speech is recognized and allowed!

Virgil Goode must be an extremely brave soul to go to UNC after the Tancredo mess. Hope someone can get there to film the latest episode of "As the Pro-Illegal Temper Burns."

Good. This should be a test to see how serious they are about free speech rights or if another fiasco will blow.

Another immigration foe to speak at UNC

CHAPEL HILL Undeterred by a protest that derailed a planned speech by former congressman Tom Tancredo last week, a UNC student group has invited another conservative former lawmaker to campus tonight.

Former U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode Jr. was invited by the UNC chapter of Youth for Western Civilization. The former Virginia congressman opposes amnesty for immigrants and automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in the U.S. He also was an early sponsor of legislation to build a fence along the U.S-Mexico border, according to his Web site.

Tancredo, national chairman of Youth for Western Civilization, visited Chapel Hill April 14 but left amid a disturbance involving dozens of student protesters and campus public safety officers.

Protesters claimed the incident turned ugly because officers used excessive force, pushing students, pulling one by the hair and spraying mace into some students' faces.

Randy Young, spokesman for the public safety department, said that incident is still under investigation. He would not comment on preparations for tonight's speech.

“We have full hope and expectations that it's going to be civil and met with intelligent discourse,â€
