Tancredo: Mexican drug runners and gang members moving to the U.S.
Austin American-Statesman ^ | Wednesday, September 5, 2007 | By Eunice Moscoso

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: “I’m 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.”

*Mexican drug runners and gang members moving to the U.S.*

WE in San Diego and Duncan Hunter have known this for years and Hunter has spoke out, authored bills, etc about this for years while most haven’t had a clue.

Glad others after these many years are figuring this out.

"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?"

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.

Perhaps they've experienced the massive invasion from Mexico personally, and they can't defend the "decider" anymore. What he's doing to America is indefensible.
