While the Colorado congressman's message might win votes as a hot-button issue in 2008 and 2012, Mr. McIntyre said, demographic trends suggested the position might prove electoral poison in 2016 and beyond as the American electorate becomes increasingly Hispanic, and if the Tancredo platform paints national Republicans as "anti-immigrant."

Tom Tancredo is a true conservative who stands on principle regardless of the prevailing political fads. It's my perception that McIntyre is underestimating the growing swell of concern among Americans of all races including Hispanics, about illegal immigration.

The images of Paris in flames has concentrated the mind wonderfully. That is where massive illegal immigration leads.

BTTT!

Mr. Tancredo also has a spine, unlike most of the current crop of Pubbies in Congress.
