Tancredo has been the lone voice for immigration sanity for years. Now you are saying that Tancredo is just being political if he doesn't admit defeat and back the opposite of what he has stood for all these years?
Every piece of legislation that leaves the house will have border enforcement amendments tacked on so Bush and the senate won't be able to kill it or hide from it.
Doesn't matter. If the House is seen as being the obstacle to an immigration bill, Tancredo will spend the next two years getting nothing, for sure, on illegal immigration.
"No bill" translates, for the voting public, into "no action, no reform." If you think that works in the House GOP's favor, you're mistaken.
