You know you're going to get some flack for this from the diehard anti-illegal-immigrant crowd.
In any case, I agree with you. The only thing I disagreed with Tancredo on was his wacky idea of making all illegal aliens felons by dint of their coming here illegally.
Making all illegal aliens felons is only going to disrupt the process of their self-deportation.
Why? Where is the flack? I am totally against illegal immigration because it is an security issue as well as a social and economic issue. That doesn't change the fact that it is not a felony to be here illegally. Those that seem to think that illegals are just great have a serious misconception of those who are against illegal immigration.
