Tancredo was really badly advised to have made such a call public.

So you want Tancredo to crawl on his belly to privately BEG the do-nothing INS? You've gotta be out of your mind!

They ALREADY know that the family is here illegally. They can read the paper too. They DON'T WANT TO DEPORT THEM. Just like the Forest Service didn't want to put out the 130,000 acre fire in my back yard. It's going to take public flogging and lawsuits against Government officials to get them to do their jobs.

Thank God Tancredo went public.

Unless we do this stuff 'Ann Coulter Style' we're going to lose.

Dear Balding: No need to be so disagreeable. And no, I'm not out of my mind. I'm just telling you how to accomplish getting these people deported if that is your goal. High profile politicking is OK in its place, but there are ways to get things done, and ways to make other people dig in their heels. Tancredo, bless his heart, wanted to make a political point (with which I happen to agree). Reality dose: If you are a U.S. Congressman and you or one of your staff members calls the INS and recommends that an illegal alien be deported, they will be deported. No one would have been surprised, given that the illegals in question had spilled their guts all over the paper. But if you are a U.S. Congressman and call the newspaper first, you needlessly humiliate the INS office in Denver (which is already humiliated by the pinche idiotas ilegales and hampered by a headquarters in DC less than committed to deporting illegals); the potential deportee will have every immigration lawyer on the books voluteering to represent him, keeping him here indefinitely while he goes to college for free; the civil rights pimps will get involved, delaying the deportation further while the bleeding hearts do their thing. Guess who loses.
