Tancredo says president believes nation should be merely 'idea' without borders
PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Bush believes America should be more of an idea than an actual place, a Republican congressman told WND in an exclusive interview.
"People have to understand what we're talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. "He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that – it's an idea. It's not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going."
Tancredo lashed out at the White House's lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.

He pointed to Florida's largest city as an example of how the nature of America can be changed by uncontrolled immigration.
"Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country," he said. "You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you're in the United States of America. You would certainly say you're in a Third World country."
He said quickly changing demographics can cause big problems, and specifically cited the "Islamization of Europe" in recent years which has led to conflict across the continent.

Blah Blah.
People say Bush/Dems "are internationalists" "want to destroy America", want this, want that.
It's really simple,
They want to lower costs. For job and wage salary costs that can't be lowered by exportation illegals and high immigration will be insourced for the same effect domestically.
Seemingly racial comments like Tandredo's only hurt the cause of the interests of most Americans, not help it.
Yeah, it's all a conspiracy! And you'll be doing that 'Baghdad Bob' impression up until America has a common currency with Mexico and Canada and their is an EU-style legislature located somewhere in North America.
"Trust me, there is no union going on here."
We have Mexico's ambassador to the United Nations, Enrique Berruga, coming into this country saying we need a North America Union and even saying it needs to be done before, I think it was 2015. Wow, he surely doesn't know what he's talking about.
What will it take to convince the crowd of osterichs with their collective heads in the sand that this may/can/will be happening? Where is the line?
You don't know how funny that crap you typed is do you?
No of course not. YOu believe it entirely
LOL!!
"New World Order"
Why hate him Hes telling you the truth, there are 2 papers in Miami one in english and spanish who hate repubs and there are 22 spanish radio stations, 3 spanish tv stations, 3 spanish mags printed there and 90 percent of the civil service speak predominately spanish and get confused when you speak engish to them.
Why can't you stop laughing-through-your-words and just answer the question? What must happen to convince you this is happening? Where is the line? Is the common currency the line? Is a legislative body with superceding power the line? Where is the line Mike?
LOL
your hysteria is hysterical....
Mexico could open up their elections to Americans and that still wouldn't be proof enough.
Tom Tancredo, is not going to run for president because he avoided military service completely during the Vietnam War by claiming a mental-health deferment.
"Why hate him"
Because Tancredo isn't afraid to say when president Bush is wrong.
Canamexico?
"Tom Tancredo, is not going to run for president...."
Tancredo may, he may not. He knows he isn't going to win, he's only said that about a thousand times. But his running would force other republican candidates to take positions on immigration that they'd rather just avoid, bring it up in the debates and possibly move other more viable candidates to the right on illegal immigration.
I don't remember Vietnam being any issue when Bush beat McCain in 2000.
Ya'll didn't want Tennessee either when we first tried to become a state . . . I remember it like it was yesterday . . . .
"Yep, if we let Tennessee become a part of the United States, we'll soon all be living up in the holler with Lil Abner, makin' moonshine and courtin' Daisy May . . . ", ya'll fretted aloud.
Now, look at us in Tennessee . . living up in the holler, Lil Abner is our governor, making moonshine is legal in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and Daisy May from Arkansas (another state ya'll spurned) is the Senator from New York . . . (Ya'll should have stuck by your guns on Arkansas . . ")
Oh' horse crap.
Miami may be filled with Cubans and Haitians and in many parts of the city English is a second language. (McDonald's Menu's are in Spanish W/ English subtitles), but Miami as a US city is hardly a turd world country.
The Cuban people are basically highly motivated, talented, well educated and mostly very conservative politically.
The Haitian people for the most part are hard working, clean living people who come from a country with unbelievable poverty who are grateful to be here.
Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. may have a serious illegal immigration problem in his home state, but using Miami as an example makes him lose credibility.
Good Grief, this stuff makes us looked unhinged. You know its a serious problems when Tancredo spreads this stuff. Go to some of the so called far right webs sites. They have conspiracy theories that make the DU look sane
Title change. Doubt it's the original from the article.
That's what I've been saying. We're slowly becoming either the North American Union or the American Union.
The USA existed before the constitution was written and was governed under the Articles of Confederation which were adopted in 1787. The Constitution merely changed the structure of the government it did not create a non existent country, and the relationship of the states to each other. The declaration of Independence also styled the colonies as the united States of America. The Articles of Confederation also make it explicit that the US was the US before the constitution was written as can be seen below in Article I.
The Articles of Confederation
Agreed to by Congress November 15, 1777; ratified and in force, March 1, 1781.
Preamble
To all to whom these Presents shall come, we the undersigned Delegates of the States affixed to our Names send greeting.
Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Article I. The Stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America."
Sorry, I missed the typo. I meant the Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777 not in 1787.
