Irrelevant to the issue. Tancredo is not only against illegal immigration. He favors greatly restricting legal immigration as well, and calls all proposals for cutting back on illegal immigration, but allowing for more legal immigration 'Amnesty'.
What the underline crime is for which 'Amnesty' needs to be granted in that particular circumstance, is unclear. I can only assume he thinks they need to be forgiven for being born in another country.
Cong. Tancredo has never said that a bill that solely provides for incrased legal immigration. Cong. Tancredo does believe that bills granting legal status to millions of illegal aliens and allowing them a path to citizenship are amnesty bills.
Did you support S.2611, the Senate immigration reform bill? Do you believe that millions of illegal aliens should be given legal status and a path to citizenship?
Cong. Tancredo supported and voted for H.R.4437, the House's border security bill. It was overwhlemingly supported by House Republicans. It did not provide legal status and a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
In case you missed it, illegal entry into the United States is a federal crime. It can be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the circumstances of the crime. Rewarding millions of illegal aliens that committed the federal crime of illegal entry into the United States with legal status and a path to citizenship is amnesty.
