Nice Place to Live

Colorado. Great climate, wonderful scenery, all sorts of outdoor activities, and at least one embarrassment of a congressman. (Interview from Right Wing News)

I have to tell you that we are facing a situation, where if we don't control immigration, legal and illegal, we will eventually reach the point where it won't be what kind of a nation we are, balkanized or united, we will actually have to face the fact that we are no longer a nation at all. That is the honest to God eventual outcome of this kind of massive immigration combined with the cult of multiculturalism that permeates our society. ...The fact is, that won't occur in a legal way, it will occur in a de facto way.

There are places right now in East LA & Southern Texas that you would not honestly -- there is absolutely nothing that you would say makes them part of the United States of America. They are a separate country -- it is separate country -- right now, at this moment.

I don't know how to take this other than if Tancredo doesn't think you live like an American, or talk like one, then you aren't really an American.
More Tom T.:

There is place at the Northern tip of Brazil that is referred to as the "Tri-Border Area" -- Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This area is responsible of a huge flow of illegal immigrants into the United States including large numbers of Middle-Easterners. They come into South America, into Brazil, they are kept there for a period time to become a little bit better with the language. Brazil is a country, very eclectic in nature, you cannot look at anybody and say they are Brazilian. You have no idea. They're black, they're white, they're brown, they're everything. So they're given Brazillian documents and move them to the United States.

Someone get Tom a globe. Argentina is what direction from Brazil? Shame about those Brazilians and their racial corruption, huh Tom?

Read the article for yourself, find your own Tancredo gems. Find out how he feels about Mexican workers here sending back cash to their families at home, and other fantastic nuggets of wisdom. I might have to start tracking Tancredoisms a little more closely.
