U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., warned President Bush on Monday not to play politics with homeland security, after the White House reportedly asked Congress to remove some immigration measures from a pending intelligence bill.The legislation is me

Tancredo is a paranoid lunatic. If his views are so vital, why tag them onto an Intelligence bill instead of offering it up as separate legislation? Because unlike most of the hard right paranoids, Tancredo knows he cannot win this on the merits. Why is the Hard Right so bound and determined to elect John Kerry? You guys so hate Bush on Immigration that you are doing everything you can to help Kerry. Are you really this DUMB? Do you REALLY think a guy who wants to give Nuke fuel to IRAN is going to be tough on immigration? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!!!

This is not Tancredo's bill. The language in it came straight from the bipartisan 9/11 Commission.

Let me leave you with a number: 235,379.

That is the official figure, released today by the Border Patrol, of the number of illegal aliens arrested in little old Cochise County where I live during Fiscal Year 2004. That number is a little more than twice the number of legal citizens here.

The local Border Patrol agents insist they are lucky to catch maybe one in five, so that means about 950,000 breezed right past them. Maybe I should post Minnesota tourist info out on the illegal alien trails.
