A red, white, and blue banner emblazoned with the words “Mass Immigration Turned Virginia Blue” was hung by America First activists from the Key Bridge overpass in Arlington, Virginia.
According to America First Twitter account The Columbia Bugle, the banner was hung by America First conservatives, or Groypers, from the bridge on Sunday.

The Groypers have been involved in a highly publicized ideological feud with Conservative Inc. over the latter’s open-borders stance on immigration and visa programs.
Groyper-endorsed congressional candidate Pete D’Abrosca recently appeared on the Tucker Carlson Tonight TV show to discuss the immigration issue:
North Carolina congressional candidate Pete DâAbrosca appeared on the Tucker Carlson Tonight cable television program Friday night to discuss his proposal for a blanket moratorium on all net immigration to the United States.
DâAbrosca outlined his vision for zero net immigration during the segment: âAbout 200,000 people leave the United States every year. Bringing in 200,000 legal aliens would be fine, but the bottom line is we would like to have no population increase from legal immigration.â
âOh, youâre not allowed to say that,â Carlson quipped, âbecause the left controls the terms that the right uses, as you know, and youâre allowed to say under duress that youâre against illegal immigration, but youâre never allowed to say that there should be some absolute cap.â
âWell, those are the old party rules, Tucker,â DâAbrosca said. âThereâs a new Republican party in town and itâs people like myself who are younger, and less controlled by the Conservative Inc. crowd and the political elites.â
âWe understand the game, and we understand that the Chamber of Commerce has bought and paid for our Congress people,âDâAbrosca continued, âand we understand that it has bought and paid for organizations like Turning Point USA and media outlets like the Daily Wire, for example, who are not meaningfully conservative in any way and can never be trusted to conserve anything.â
