The bill signed into law by President Bush, the “Secure Fence Act of 2006” was sponsored by Rep. Peter King. In the House, its bill number was H.R. 6061. Rep. Tancredo and Rep. Hunter were only cosponsors of the bill. They both became cosponsors of the bill on the very same day, September 13, 2006, that the bill was introduced.
The fact that both Tancredo and Hunter became cosponsors of the bill on the very same day demonstrates that both had an equally high commitment to its passage.
Besides the illegal immigration issue, another reason for me to support Rep. Tancredo is that he has achieved a score of “100%” from the National Right to Life Committee for the 106th, 107th, 109th and the ongoing 110th Congress.
I would hope that you would not support Sen. Brownback in light of the fact that he supports amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. In my opinion, he has run by far the sleaziest campaign thus far of any GOP presidential candidate.
There must be more to this, friend. Perhaps another bill?
Everyone calls the fence Duncan Hunter’s fence, including the host on the “Truckin’ Bozo” show.
I agree that Tancredo is pro-life; in fact, probably one of the top 5 on the life issue of all the presidential candidates.
The majority of the GOP presidential candidates have perfect (or near perfect pro-life voting records), but I feel that Senator Sam Brownback and Congressman Duncan Hunter have the highest commitment to the pro-life cause, from conception to natural death.
While listening on EWTN radio, I heard both Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter speak at the pro-life rally in Washington, D.C., and they were the only two presidential candidates. Of course, some of the others might have had conflicts that day.
And year after year, Duncan Hunter has tried to get legislation passed with the bill he authored, the personhood-at-conception bill that has over 100 co-sponsors, which would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.
Sam Brownback is constantly a loud and frequent voice for preborn and disabled voiceless persons.
But don’t worry, I am definitely not supporting Brownback, but in discussing the life issue, I just wanted to be fair.
P.S. If you want to hear a GOP presidential debate on values, including the life issue, here are the details:

A friend told me that Hunter authored the secure fence portion of Peter King’s bill. Hunter also introduced it separately as an amendment to the DHS bill. It passed both times.
Hope that clears it up.
