Conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday warned Rep. Raul Labrador he is “squandering” an opportunity to win over conservative voters because of his support for increasing legal immigration.

Labrador, R-Idaho, is running for House majority leader as an underdog conservative alternative to Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who is currently the House whip. Labrador made the rounds on the conservative talk show circuit, including a live interview with Ingraham.
