Tancredo is not going after legal immigrants. That is just the way he has been "painted". You have bought into the lies of his detractors.
Usually, his detractors hate him because he isn't their candidate. That is a frequent problem at FR. People all to often trash those they aren't going to vote for.
Who else has stood up for this issue nationally, and taken on the administration over this issue?
That takes guts and conviction, lacking in most of our elected leaders.

He did go after legal immigrants, read his quotes. He said both legal and illegal immigrants are the source of problems in miami, he made that very clear. Again you are clearly avoid the context of this thread which is his ignorant remarks on miami. Miami is hardly a city infesed with illegal immigrants like Los Angeles or New york is.

I think many have opposed amnesty and gone about opposing it, Republican congress passed a tough anti-illegal measure.
Tancredo may be the guy who puts it in the media spotlight but thats the problem. Tancredo is past his useby date, he should step aside and let someone who has better communication skills and more informed take over his role. His ignorance, stupidity and apparent racism does not help the conservatives interested in border security issues.
