Tancredo Predicts GOP Immigration Clash -- "Believe me, it will be one hell of a fight"
Human Events Online ^ | September 2, 2005 | Robert Bluey

President Bush and House conservatives are on a collision course over the contentious issue of immigration reform, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R.-Colo.) said Thursday.

Tancredo, chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and author of the REAL GUEST Act (HR 3333), said he expects Bush to embrace legislation drafted by Senators Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and John McCain (R.-Ariz.). Conservatives strongly oppose the bill, which Tancredo said is tantamount to amnesty.

Tancredo’s bill instead focuses on enforcement, particularly on companies that employ illegal immigrants. He said once illegal workers are denied jobs, they will no longer flood into the United States.

God bless Tom Tancredo.

I'd like to see him run for the presidency.

And anyone leaving off "illegal" is just one more liar pushing the open borders line.

"...so someone from Albania would be opposed to nuking Mecca"



But....but that's stupid.


Thats like me saying don't bomb Rome because the Vatican is there. Other than the obvious reasons(Catholics aren't beheading people) why would I care? When a bomb goes off in Israel, I don't worry about it because of my Christianity, I worry about it for the innocent people these PIGS are blowing up.

Oh, man---been doing it since I saw Fox on the White House lawn just a month before 9/11, acting like he was owed an "acuerdo migratorio" to legalize---this is what he said in Spanish---every Mexican in the United States! GW's been trying to "deliver" ever since, and I'm convinced that, in spite of everything, GW's going to try to "strong-arm" some such scam through Congress this fall.

That's the typical Buchanan/Tancredo type hate speech designed to create hysteria in the emotionally disturbed.

You're certainly hysterical whenever Tancredo is mentioned, so apparently his name does excite at least one of the emotionally disturbed.

Thanks. Sure enough, the Minutemen are filling in the gap. Show 'em, guys. Shame 'em into doing something, and if they won't do anything, shame 'em anyway.

Rep Tancredo - try to redirect your thinking toward the disaster in the Gulf Shore.

My my. The quislings have found themselves a new, improved method for trying to end the immigration debate. "Deflect everything to the Gulf Shore". Think this will work better than the old accusations of racism?

Here is the plan for us in case you haven't seen it:

Thanks again. What a woman Phyllis Schlafly is: practically stopped ERA by herself. She's got more cojones than most male conservatives, so many of whom just what to follow the "great leader."

I'd say the word "legal" is more effective than "illegal":

TIME OUT!

Don't forget the mantra:
"We love legal immigrants, it's just the illegal immigrants we dislike."

Please don't slip up and admit to disliking legal immigrants also because you know what that would mean.

He will, and he has set up Dick Armey to lead the charge. They'll be promoting Cornyn's bill among others- all cleverly named to sound as if they actually will do something about illegal immigration- which they will in fact do, if granting defacto amnesty is "doing something". GW and his cronies have zero credibility on the issue, and unless he starts enforcing the laws as they are no one but the bots are going to take him at his word on anything concerning the border.

RW isn't a quisling. I disagree with him as well over what he's saying, but he's not a FROBL, as far as I've been able to tell from conversing with him.
