"If Tancredo hasn't already proven he actually is a xenophobe, this proves it."
Yawn, more boring race card tactics. It's not the 1960's anymore.
"His 'we should be arresting Mexican drug dealers' can be filed away with 'We shouldn't be fighting in Iraq, we should be in Afghanistan'."
Tancredo supports the war in Iraq.
"That's flat out false. You either don't know what you are talking about or you made it up."
You don't obviously. Mexico doesn't give us any criminals if they may get the death penalty and most recently their supreme court said Mexico can't send us any of our criminals if they will get life in prison (Mexico doesn't allow for life in prison as a sentence for a crime.)
I notice you didn't even bother to read my entire point. There's a good reason for that: You can't refute it. Tancredo is totally inconsistent and the only thing that seems to be different is one thing is in Mexico and the other is in the US.
And I'm not talking about about race exactly anyway. Xenophobia is related to racism, but it's not the same thing.
Tancredo supports the war in Iraq.
That's totally unrelated, and you know it. You either didn't bother to read my point, are too stupid to understand it, or don't care because you'd just like to spin to make things your way.
The point REMAINS, that saying 'we can't arrest Chapman because we have illegal immigration' is the EXACT same logic as saying 'We can't fight in Iraq because we have a war in Afghanistan'.
Which brings us back to my original point: Tancredo is inconsistent. The only thing that's changed is the fact that Mexico is now involved, and he doesn't seem to like Mexico very much. He applies one standard to Mexico, and another to everything else.
Which means just what I've been saying: Tancredo is a xenophobe.
