Cantor Killed His Own Reelection Bid, Not Immigration

Cantor Loss Reflection of Unpopular GOP Leadership, District Supports Immigration Reform from Public Policy Polling
Be wary of the prevailing meme about immigration causing Cantor's loss in Virginia.  The evidence is NOT there.
"A new Public Policy Polling survey conducted in Eric Cantor’s district last night finds that both Cantor and the  GOP House leadership are deeply unpopular, even with Republican voters, and that likely led to his loss.  Despite much speculation that Cantor’s position on immigration reform might have cost him the election, it is actually quite popular in his district and voters want to see Congress act on it this year."
