Did you notice that Tanc got only 6 co-sponsers in the House for his immigration reform bill? And what's worse, Coburn and Vitters, who are former members of the House Immigration Caucus, refused to introduce Tanc's bill into the Senate.

OTOH, Tanc is very skilled at raising money. Pat and Bay are getting rich off of the money he is raising for Team America PAC.

He's very good at banging pots and pans. Actually having an effect on legislation -- that's another story.

Tancredo doesn't have the votes to get his Bill passed. Nothing wrong with speaking out, but if he actually wants to improve on the status quo (not too difficult), then he'd be better off working with the President on passing legislation instead of posturing. Instead, he's going to find himself out of the room when the deals are cut.

Don't lie. Team America is a grass roots organization that has the support of the 83 member House Immigration Reform Caucus and the majority of Americans too boot. No one is making a dime of profit off the donations to Team America. The money goes to the national grass roots efforts.

You do know that a majority of Congressmen are opposed to real immigration reform. Most want amnesty. And like PresBush, most Beltway politicos favor a conintued flow of cheap illegal labor into the US. Appeasing GOP business donors, while they pander for Hispanic voters. Tancreo's proposal, HR3333, "Rewarding Employers that Abide by the Law and Guaranteeing Uniform Enforcement to Stop Terrorism Act of 2005 or the REAL GUEST Act of 2005", may not be popular with a majority of US Congressmen, but the American people will have the last word on this matter.
