I’m noticing a split between Hunter and Tancredo on FR and I am honestly asking without sarcasm, what is the difference between them that makes one better than the other in regards to Illegal Immigration?
I like them both, but I’d hate for one to take votes away from the other in the primary.
I think your are preaching much to the choir.
If they are working in tandem it wouldn’t suprise me. Tancredo is pushing The People’s agenda, he’s taking so much heat for it however Hunter is pushing the Solution but not getting much attention (however that is changing).
Personally I like them both and I’m waiting for either to settle on a particular issue that is dear to me. However I get the feeling I won’t like the answer so they aren’t answering.
From what I have been able to determine, Tancredo is tougher on ALL immigration, wanting to reduce LEGAL immigration, as well as crack down on illegal immigration.
Also, Hunter is more of a hawk on the WOT where Tancredo seems to be showing some more libertarian views, closer to Ron Paul.
Don’t flame me folks... that’s just my observation. Correct me if I’m wrong, please.
They pretty much have the same view, build a wall, deport the ones here.
Its just that Tancredo is more focused on immigration, and has made it his focal point, and thus, tends to lead all issues and topics to it, while Hunter, is more overall focused, and also more likely to express his views on other topics without relating it to illegal immigration.
Think of it this way, Tancredo is the guy who would hijack a thread about a defective keyboard and turn it into a thread on illegal immigration, while Hunter would stay on topic.
That said, the 2 of them, do disagree strongly, on free trade, and have total opposite views on the topic, and do disagree on a few other areas.....they are also friends, so don't expect to see them bashing each other.

Tancredo has hands down not only the toughest stance on illegal immigration of all the candidates, but of any politician in general. He has spoken on the issue strongly for years, and sponsored that bill this summer that barred federal emergency funding to sanctuary cities. Of all the proponents of tougher immigration laws, Tancredo has been by far the most effective.
He has even been banned from the White House for his devotion to the cause of ending illegal immigration... I am very proud to have him representing Colorado’s (and every concerned American’s) interests.
A split? I don’t think I’ve noticed? I don’t know any Hunter supporters that don’t like Tancredo. Watch the debates and tell me who won :)

Bryan Barton Bump!
Tancredo has been invaluable in the immigration 'debate'. But the difference in Tom and Hunter is that Hunter has accomplished something on it and was penning legislation, getting support and getting fences built, etc. before anyone ever heard of Tancredo. Hunter has earned the respect of his peers and many suppport him. Tancredo hasn't any congressional endorsers. And as Charlie Rangel even admits, " “No, the truth of the matter is, Duncan’s a real expert in military affairs.....”
