If Tancredo hasn't already proven he actually is a xenophobe, this proves it.
Regardless of your stance on the immigration debate, there is zero reason not to cooperate with Mexico if they have a credible reason to think one of our citizens are guilty of a crime on their soil. His 'we should be arresting Mexican drug dealers' can be filed away with 'We shouldn't be fighting in Iraq, we should be in Afghanistan'.
Apparently, Tancredo just doesn't like foreigners much, and thus doesn't want to cooperate with them.
"If Tancredo hasn't already proven he actually is a xenophobe, this proves it."
Yawn, more boring race card tactics. It's not the 1960's anymore.
"His 'we should be arresting Mexican drug dealers' can be filed away with 'We shouldn't be fighting in Iraq, we should be in Afghanistan'."
Tancredo supports the war in Iraq.
"That's flat out false. You either don't know what you are talking about or you made it up."
You don't obviously. Mexico doesn't give us any criminals if they may get the death penalty and most recently their supreme court said Mexico can't send us any of our criminals if they will get life in prison (Mexico doesn't allow for life in prison as a sentence for a crime.)
