That the group calling Ralph Northam's campaign racist said they oppose him because he's against allowing undocumented immigrants who've committed "violent" crimes from being allowed to stay in sanctuary cities. That's what a friend told me. IF true and he's correct and that DFA thinks this way, those folks are crazy. You mean to tell me that you're pulling your support from Northam because he won't turn a blind eye to allowing a "violent" criminal element to hide out there in Virginia amongst law-abiding citizens/law-abiding undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities?
