Tancredo is saying what needs to be said.
Absolutely. The current issue of National Review magazine has this by Mark Krikorian:
‘If someone has a better idea, I’d love to have them give it to us.’ That was John McCain, challenging his fellow Republican presidential candidates in early June to offer an alternative to the amnesty bill he helped craft with Ted Kennedy. Well, here’s a better idea: enforce the law.
Tancredo is right. Enforce the laws right now that are on the books. We can pass another million laws but it doesn’t matter a damn if the political will to enforce them isn’t there! The scam of ‘comprehensive amnesty’ went down because the American people know they can’t trust their government to be serious about law enforcement — based on more than 20 years of experience and observation!
A country which ignores vast areas of law, while enforcing “zero tolerance” on others, is on its way to Banana Republic status.
On Illegal Immigration:
The bill's authors "seem to think that they can dupe the American public into accepting a blanket amnesty if they just call it 'comprehensive' or 'earned legalization' or 'regularization,' " said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., a presidential candidate and strong opponent of illegal immigration. "The president is so desperate for a legacy and a domestic-policy win that he is willing to sell out the American people and our national security."
