Pro-(Illegal)Immigration Protesters Again Storm Eric Cantor's Condo "Home Invasion"

For the second time in six months, a group of pro-immigration protesters stormed inside the private northern Virginia residence of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.

About two dozen activists from a group called Casa de Virginia appeared at the Cantor’s condo complex in Arlington at about 8 p.m. Thursday. One distracted the complex's front desk clerk long enough to allow the rest to stream into the lobby area.

Once inside, they attempted to distribute fliers to residents accusing Cantor of being “the one man blocking immigration reform.” They also loudly chanted, according to residents. At least one protester shouted through a bullhorn.

Police were called and the protesters continued their activities on the sidewalk outside the complex before finally leaving around 9 p.m. No one was reported injured and no arrests were made.

Eric Briggs, another board member, said the protesters had tried to get into residential units. No one did and nothing on the condo property was damaged, he said.

While Cantor's complex does have security, it does not lock the front doors until the evening. The protesters arrived just before they were locked.

If the purpose of the protest was to cause enough problems to turn Cantor’s neighbors against him, it apparently wasn’t working.

“Nobody here has a problem with them marching in the street. We believe in free speech. It is the home invasion that is the problem. It was like somebody staging a protest in your living room,” Briggs said.
