I wish one of them would have the nerve.

Good on Tom he has made me proud!

[zeugma]

I, for one, agree with him wholeheartedly. I’m disappointed that the other pubbies decided pandering to illegals was more important than having principles.

[Duke Nukum]

Good for him!

I hope only Rudy, Mitt, and Paul show up. Oh and Huck.

Will there be a debate in Chinese, the language more people speak than Spanish?

[Trteamer]

DES MOINES, Iowa — Rep. Tom Tancredo says his fellow Republican presidential candidates are aiding immigrants in breaking the law by taking part in this weekend's Spanish-language debate in Miami.

Notice how the press left ou the word ILLEGAL. Tancredo would not.

"I didn't know you had to learn English."

It's required a petitioner have a command of conversational English to sit through an interview at a US Consular's office - the only way to acquire a valid visa.

Tom is right.

[Eaker]

Bet there is a lot that you don’t know.

[azhenfud]

I would hope that he does bring up the point the most obvious way to tell an illegal is they cannot speak English and the fact those who don’t care to learn it proves they don’t care to be American, which underscores the need to encourage and assist those to remove themselves from our midst.
