Tancredo is the only hope for the party, it seems.

Tom Tancredo is a good conservative and a loyal Republican. Tancredo is definitely raising the right issues --- reduce spending, limit govt bureaucracy and immigration reform. These are the areas where Bush and the GOP have failed over the last five years. Whether Tancredo can convince enough people he has what it takes to be POTUS, is an entirely different story. That includes this conservative.

I agree. As far as I am concerned, guest worker program is support for illigal immigration PERIOD It is also a slap in the face for all of those who come here by the book. If we are going to keep allowing this to happen then we should work for Mexico to become a US state and start taxing these people. We have a double standard immigration policy. Since when has a Mexican had more rights to this land than an American citizen?

Puerto Rico should also pay taxes and be a state. Hell they get to enjoy all the perks of a US protectorate, but they don't pay taxes and some even hate this country. Think I'm kidding? Just come to the Puerto Rican parade in Chicago and you will see for yourself. Heck they even have a congressman at large.

Tancreto is right about big government. The fact is, government has become a big goon that beats you up and takes your money on the way to and from work.

Government has become a burden to the citizens of this great land. Think about it, government taxes gas, hotel stays, parking on public streets, amusement fees, convenience fees, zone parking fees, city parking fees, cable TV, phones, cars, homes, every damn thing you can think of. Government has also burdened small business and forced business and homes to leave certain areas.

So, why? Why would anybody spend 20 million to get a job that only pays $158,100? Government is big MONEY and a place where you can make some serious money under and above the table at the expense of Joe Citizen. You see, this is the ME generation. It's all about "ME". The "WE" generation is slowly fading into history.

It is unfortunate because there are GREAT people out there who should be in government and are not. There are too many who are in government too long. Are there good people in government today? Yes but not enough.

The people need to take government back and start to give a damn. Government can never police itself. The people must.

I say have a national referendum on illegal immigration and to hell with some of these politicians.
