Presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo, blasted comments this week by Mexican president Felipe Calderon (pictured).
Calderon said at his State of the Union speech Sunday that he would continue to protest unilateral actions of the U.S. Congress that exacerbate the persecution of Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States.
He also said that Mexico does not end at the border because where there is a Mexican. There is Mexico.
In a statement, Tancredo quipped: Indeed part of Mexico is moving into the United States, but unfortunately that includes drug runners, gang violence and the Spanish language supplanting English.
The lawmaker, famous for his tough stance against illegal immigration, added: Im sure the people of Mexico would be extremely grateful if Calderon showed as much concern over the well being of Mexicans unlucky enough to still live there as he does for the people who have successfully fled his country.
where there is a Mexican. There is Mexico.
Anyone who lives in a town/city they have invaded can attest to that.
We have a 5 square mile area here that looks just like Mexico, and is just as dangerous to go into. 75% of our city’s resources (police,fire) is there at any given time of the day or night. The other areas of town get put on a ‘priority’ list.
Well they certainly won’t have to worry about TRYING to get a sub-prime mortgage, they can just pay cash for a new home here in the US!
On Western Civilization:
We are the last best hope of Western civilization. And so all of the theories that go behind our activities subsequent to these nuclear attacks going off in the United States, they go out the window because when -- when we go under, Western civilization goes under.

“unilateral actions of the U.S”
How dare we try to enforce the law WITHOUT ASKING THE PRES OF MEXICO. How dare us!!!!
Eliminate demand and the drug runners will stop running.
Hey, there's lot's of "Conservatives" here on FR who agree with that statement.
They come onto these threads and scream racism at anyone who criticises the Invasion, they use BS arguments about a "worker shortage" which is so dire we need to throw up our hands and surrender to the Mexican "government", they get violent about anyone criticising Dear Leader in his relentless efforts to Amnesty the invaders, they sneer triumphantly when some court decision invalidates the will of the people and hands a victory to the terroristas and their fellow travelers.
It's not surprising that people in the government and the administration are making excuses and lying prostrate for this. They're all for it - and so are a lot of other people.
But what can you call people who side with a foreign populace and government who assert the right to cross into the United States at will and decide for themselves what laws will apply to them, and who will make them?
Eliminate the incentives, and the illegals will stop coming.
Span-ish is the language of the third and fourth world. But it will take over the language of these United States unless we the people take action and elect people who will protect our Constitution and close the borders and kill the terrorist as we did the Nazi and Japanese.
Amazing how, just a year ago, the BushBots bashed Tancredo on threads such as this one. I don’t see them around much anymore. Interesting.
What are you talking about Mr Tancredo? Getting executed by the police for informing on drug dealing or other gang activities is a sign of a great society! Corruption is endemic strength! Wouldn't it be great if we too in America had to inquire if the hotel room was concrete reinforced, windowless, and complete with a steel door? The daily decision for how much money to carry (not too much to lose if robbed, but not so little that you are unable to bribe the police or pay "tribute" to a crime lord) would teach students about optimization and risk management as well.
Is it no surprise that the criminals refugees who invade enter America with poor documentation promptly decide to do everything in their power to make America just as shitty great as their failed state homeland? Destroy Reinvigorate America so it is just like home!
“Mexico has long wanted to take back lands lost to Texas and to the USA as a result of the Mexican-American war. Mexicans consider these lands (South West USA) their lands. Calderon statements are, from the Mexican point of view, quite reasonable and represent their national policy/goal of reclaiming the American South West. Mexico is engaged in a effort to peacefully over run and reclain S.W. USA.

You just described about 100 town/cities in the US - where do you live?
Central Valley, Bakersfield, Ca.
trai·tor (trtr) n. One who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.
Why does he have to be such a racist against the poor noble immigrants [/sarc]
You live just south of me. I’m in Visalia but know B’field well. We lived near Taft for several years.
Visalia isn’t nearly as bad as B’field. It’s half the size for one thing, but it still has its nasty areas north of downtown.
