WASHINGTON, D.C. ) – Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today released a statement regarding an event Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) reportedly plans to hold in conjunction with discussion of the DREAM ACT – an event that will be attended by several illegal aliens.

“I call on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to detain any illegal aliens at this press conference. Just because these illegal aliens are being used for political gain doesn’t mean they get immunity from the law.”

“If we can’t enforce our laws inside the building where American laws are made, where can we enforce them?”

Tancredo alerted the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency earlier today regarding Durbin’s 3:00 PM meeting.

Laws are for the little people...

Tune into C-Span2 and get the update on this Shamnesty. Hairy began talking about scheduling items of which Dream Act is one of the items and there is some background discussion going on now.

I'm trying to picture Tom Tancredo, making a citizens' arrest and dragging away these illegals in his own handcuffs on CSPAN.

It would be epic.

Then the ACLU would step in and the Republicans would be labeled in the headline "the cruel party who drags off poor immigrant workers not illegal in their eyes)by the scruff of neck."

you cannot win with these people, we just have to create new ways to get the truth out.

Good for Tancredo...shows some real courage in Washington. And there will be nothing by the MSM if it is not to the Democrats' advantage. You always have to ask yourself for whom the story will benefit? If it will hurt Republicans (Americans) then it leads. In the alternative, if it hurts Democrats, they pretend it did not happen.

Enforce the law?!?

What a concept!

Now, if the Executive Branch doesn't fulfil its duties, will Rep. Tancredo begin the impeachment process? (>sigh< If only George Mason had gotten his way...)
No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued. Shall any man be above Justice? Above all shall that man be above it, who can commit the most extensive injustice?
[...]
Why is the provision restrained to Treason & bribery only? Treason as defined in the Constitution will not reach many great and dangerous offences. [...] Attempts to subvert the Constitution may not be Treason as above defined--As bills of attainder which have saved the British Constitution are forbidden, it is the more necessary to extend: the power of impeachments.
--George Mason, July 20, 1787; The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787
(Of course, Gouverneur Morris insisted that an election every four years would prevent maladministration [HA!] and we're left with little recourse to insist the law be followed.)

Just another slap in the face! I am sick and tired of conservatives taking the high road. If we can’t lick’em then join’em, down in the muck and mire they have created. How far can good people be shoved? If this liberal behavior continues, it could get scary.

Yes! Call Sheriff Joe. He will have them in pink panties and eating baloney sandwiches for awhile. Wait you are talking about calling him in to take Harry and the Rats and Rinos away right?

I just saw that. What a sad state of affairs it is when we have people breaking the law paraded around in our very own capitol where the laws are made.

Once again, TOM TANCREDO is the only one to say anything, even while he is extremely busy doing a great job in San Diego during the fire emergency.
