My impression of Tom Tancredo is that he is a xenophobe who is opposed to all immigration. The United States needs more legal immigration and he fails to understand that. He is opposed to illegal immigrants and amnesty so that seems to be the only thing he gets right on the immigration issue.

You’re kind of special aren’t you?

40 million LEGAL immigrants since 1965 not enough for you ? Most legal immigrants vote democratic....by a large amount.

The United States needs more legal immigration

Based on what?!?

I'm here in the Silicon Valley, and my experienced American Citizen engineering friends are going years between jobs!!

Meanwhile, foreigners flood this place, and radically change the culture, the morals, and even the language.

That is ridiculous, mass immigration since the democrats and JFK's 1965 immigration act is what destroyed the United States, not illegals.

When do you guys get enough, 500 million, a billion?

Aside from your “impression,” do you have any proof?

I disagree that America needs more legal immigration. If immigration was slowed way down wages would go up and we could afford more children of our own. I could see letting in maybe 50 to 60,000 a year of the very brightest people - that’s all we need.

Your impression of Tancredo is one to be expected of liberals and the WSJournal/Bush wing of the GOP.

First of all, opposing all immigration is a perfectly legitimate position, and much preferable in my opinion to unending mass illegal and legal immigration.

But in point of fact Tancredo does not want to end all legal immigration. While in Congress he sponsored bills that would have greatly reduced legal immigration (as we should), but still allow upwards of 300,000 legal immigrants per year. Only in the mind of pro-unending mass immigration zealots like you does that represent a xenophobic or extreme position.

Your preferred policy of mass legal immigration will demographically destroy conservatism and any hope of smaller and more limited government. Most Hispanics hold liberal views on most of the big issues. The same is true of most other immigrant groups too.
