You know, all the Tom Tancredo supporters say is how much he'd do to secure the borders. I want to know what ELSE he'd do. Where does he stand on a national strategy for:

1. Taxes
2. Abortion
3. Foreign policy
4. Corporations and free enterprise
5. Affirmative action
6. The Second Amendment
7. Healthcare
8. States rights
9. The environment
10. Free trade
11. Welfare
12. Education

I could go on and on with my questions. You see, some may think that a candidate would be a better choice because of their stance on one issue, and one issue alone. And that's fine. I know that there are many one issue voters out there- and here on FR. I, on the other hand, have to look at a much bigger picture, and understand that even though a candidate may not agree with everything I do, a realistic approach must prevail. But I simply can not support someone based on one issue, and one issue alone. Then again, that's just me.

Perhaps Tancredo would get more supporters if he made these positions as well-known as his stance on immigration.

I am just picking a name from the hat - there are so many that were attacked. That is the point. Also, the question of our borders, if they are safe - this IS a critical issue, and where's George Bush? So, since you bring up the issue in context of this one politician and this politician's focus on it and related issues, well, I say more power to such politicians, because such brave politicians and representatives are few in number.

As I’ve said, and even local San Francisco media cannot deny it and occasionally report on it, the number one criminal industry, and a very profitable one at that, in the San Francisco tenderloin isn’t drugs, it is identity theft, ranging from fake or stole SSN’s, identity cards, even business permits and city employee identity cards ... now they are being given legitimate licenses. The odds of you now having your identity stolen are dreadfully high -- you can fully expect that this will happen to you, and the costs to you in time, paperwork, money, and personal stress, will also be high, if you will ever actually be able to repair the damage which will be done.

And, as extreme as this may sound, don’t be surprised if, should you complain about illegals and identity theft, you are held to account to some “diversity police”, perhaps even fined. After all, diversity is a “compelling” national interest, like the courts are now saying, so compelling that if you ask the wrong questions you may be a threat to the “compelling” national interest, an interest so compelling that it is practically considered the same as national security, if not more important. Never mind nuclear warheads that can be mounted on small North Korean armaments, how dare you make any waves that may question the compelling national interest in diversity.

Police services should be “integrated” with the efforts to stop the terrorists before they can strike again, but instead they are not even allowed to ask a suspect of his or her legal status of residence.

The INS doesn’t have enough people to do the job, and the Bush Administration isn’t giving them the people, period. Local left wing City governments set policy that officials cannot question city workers of their legal status or citizenship. But the INS can, and could. But they don’t – because the Bush Administration will not give them the resources to do so, nor the political will to do so.

Mixed messages – that is all law enforcement gets, and has been getting for the last 20 years. How many illegals have invaded our borders in the last 20 years? The government statistics in no way will reflect the true, gargantuan, number.

George Bush, not only is he AWOL on this, he puts on a sombrero and dances the La Cuca-Rockefeller-Republican cha-cha.

RWP, the point with Tancredo and Browne and Buchanan is that regardless of our support here at FR for their ideas, there is no broad support for their ideas among the 100 million people who voted for president in 2000. We could declare independence and have a nation of nothing but red states and elect Tancredo. That's not going to happen, though.
