Tom Tancredo Gets It! (house of representatives, votes, Congress, security)

Former Congressman: I'm Quitting GOP - Breitbart

When I first arrived in the U.S. House of Representatives, I naively believed that it was primarily the Democrats who were committed to open borders. But I quickly learned the entire Republican establishment also supported a policy of immigration non-enforcement.
I was repeatedly pulled into the office of the then-Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, and threatened with dire consequences if I continued to speak out publicly for common-sense immigration policies and true border security – particularly if I was doing so in the districts of other Republican Members of Congress.
For most of those years after 2000, we had a Republican President and a Republican-controlled Congress, but the conservative agenda was largely ridiculed and abandoned.





The entire article is spot on.

This is exactly why conservatives are fed up with the good-ole-boy political class and are looking for outsiders to shake it up.

and Tancredo was and is exactly why the GOP is losing the Latino vote big time. Also add 2 parts of Pete Wilson and stir with Trump.

Excellent! I've always been a fan of Tom Tancredo! Thanks for posting it!

Now, to the poster who commented about Hispanics---Believe it or not, he did count Hispanic-Americans among his supporters.

Hispanics are not a monolith that wants amnesty and open borders and votes in lockstep with La Raza. Many of us don't appreciate being stereotyped.
