Tancredo has made illegal immigration his sole claim to fame. And yet Hunter has been on that issue since he is from San Diego, got a double fence built that has stopped a lot of the flow they were getting in that part and is author of a bill to extend the fence. Hunter has been on top of that issue as well, if not more than Tancredo. Along with that, Hunter has made national defense his specialty since being elected. He has made his way up to chairman of the armed services committee and now ranking member. Along with being just as conservative as Tancredo on issues, just as outspoken(but without the tactless nature), Hunter has walked the walk being a decorated Vietnam vet with a son who served in Iraq. So in comparing them all-around, Hunter just has more to him.
