Tancredo talking!

"We sent regulations to the border patrol telling them to look the other way. This government doesn't secure the border. The Mexican government that actually encourages people to move into the US. Does Mexico try to improve it's economy by privatizing PEMEX? Does Mx try to address the economic problems they are facing. The whole gov't of Mexico is a charade. It is like a big mob. Corruption from the cop on the beat to the hightest level of gov't. Everybody knows it. It is the business of congress and every American to tell Mexico to fix it's economy. Mexicans send 10 billion a year home. Ministry for Mexicans living in the US, the director told me, Juan Hernandez, the purpose was to move as many Mexicans as possible to the US. He said, you know, they know they will influence your government, bring pressure on your gov't, change your policy, while remainin allegieant to Mexico. As the level of security is raised, you don't see any change at the border. You don't hear it. You don't see it. There is not level, no color level of danger that says, at this point we actually defend our borders. It could be the color red, the color of blood.

Mr. Speaker, this is a very very dangerous situation, and it is made more complicated every day by the in action on the part of the Gov't. 2 choices. We can either abandon the border entirely. Repeal all the laws on the books about immigration. Declare our selves to be an open state. Take away the port of entry. Disband the Border Patrol. Erase the Border. Let people come. I happen to belive that national sovereignty is important, so I am a NO vote. But I would Like this to be put to a vote.

Or 2. Secure the borders. Even though there are all kinds of people who say this is not possible. Borders are far too long, terrain too difficult. I assure that is inaccurate. This country can do it, with technology and resouresc. The only thing that is missing is the will to defend, the will to use the military for fear of the political consequences.

(18minutes rem) The other issue that needs our attention, the Mexican got't began issuing the Matricula Consular. If they could not achieve the open borders and amnesty, they would acomplish the goal another way. The card is ONLY important to someone who is here illegally! If you are a legal alien you have something that identifies you from the government to show that you are here legally. So the only real purpose is to give illegal aliens to use to get services. CitiGroup takes MC card and just gave funds to La Raza. We need a commercial bank to stand up and say they will not accept this card. Wells Fargo and CitiBank and multi national corps that do not care about the country's welfare. Ok, that's capitalism. so be it. But need to speak out against their aiding and abetting illegals.
