Hey all you Tancredo supporters from So Cal - Tom's coming to town. Here's our chance to meet him in person and let him know how much we support him. http://www.ccir.net/EVENTS/070616-Tan...
Quote; REP. TANCREDO: I’ll tell you this: that if it comes to that point in time that you describe, that the surge — is apparent that it is not working — I did not support it. I hope to God it does work. I hope I’m wrong. I hope we pacify Iraq.
However, if it is apparent that we cannot, then we have to do and tell the Iraqis the exact same thing that Benjamin Franklin said when he came out of the convention in 1787 and somebody said to him, “Dr. Franklin, what have you given us?” And he said, “A republic, if you can keep it.” It is exactly that time and it is exactly that thing that we have to say to the Iraqi government. We have given you this. We bought it with our blood and sweat. It is now up to you to keep it.
And I want the Iraqis to be in fact patrolling Baghdad. If they need vehicles, you let them have the vehicles. But I want them patrolling their city and putting their lives at risk.

WE, have to get control of current situation with ILLEGALS, before we can handle more! I do not know what or care what, till current problem is addressed. His thought, I don't know on this.

FingWIng: Make no mistake - Tom is NOT for illegal immigration - he also makes it clear he is NOT against illegal immigrants and legal immigrants.
He is for legal immigration - rate now he would like to put a temporary (only) moratorium on legal immigration until the illegal immigration issue is under control. And the current legal immigrants have a chance to assimilate better - because rate now it is not happening.
So rest assured Tancredo is NOT against immgrants at all.
When the government becomes responsible for us, We the people are no longer a free society.
