No, he also has mentioned cutting back on LEGAL immigration. This was during one of the debates when they were discussing immigration. I heard it from him myself, no press intervention needed there.
In fact, that’s when any support I had for Tancredo pretty much fell off.
I believe he wants to cut back by 2/3 until we get a better handle on how many are here, legal and illegal. A good case could be made. If he gets the part of the bill thru dealing with illegals and the anchor babies I will be happy.
Don’t get cute. He said legal immigration should be suspended until we got illegal immigration under control. That is not an unreasonable or irrational stance.
His position on a time out for legal immigration is based on the recommendations of the bipartsan U.S. Commission on Immigration in its final report.
