Tancredo: If Texas Border Town Mayors Don’t Want Fences to Their South, We’ll Build Fences to Their North..
Posted on October 9, 2007
Love this guy….
The Republican congressman, who has made illegal immigration the centerpiece of his presidential campaign, is dismissing the Texans as "rogue mayors."
Says the Colorado politician:
These mayors are jeopardizing national security with their not-in-my-backyard attitude. Congress approved the border fence with the overwhelming support of the American people to protect our nation from terrorists and illegal aliens and it will not be thwarted by a handful of rogue mayors.
Tancredo, who definitely isn’t the shy and retiring type, has a novel suggestion: Maybe the fence should be built north of the border cities that don’t cooperate, cutting them off from the United States.
In words sure to provoke a rise on the border, Tancredo says:
These mayors have already demonstrated that their hearts and loyalties lie with Mexico — perhaps they’d feel more comfortable if their cities were geographically located there as well.
Tancredo is singling out the mayors of Brownsville, Del Rio and El Paso — though El Paso Mayor John Cook hasn’t denied access to federal workers because the fencing has been there for years and is located on federal property.

I am not real happy with the Republican voters as it seems the better the candidate the worse they are doing in the polls.
Tancredo would have fit very nicely into the machinery of the former Soviet government. They were big on walls , fences and machine gun towers .
Tancredo is simplistic …Without those “illegals ” Who will harvest crops , clean hotel rooms, hospitals….work in restaurant kitchens and collect trash …Tancredo is a clever populist politician, but of course - so was Adolf Hitler . Instead of an ignoramus , what is needed is a rational economist . On that account -Tancredo is a demonstrable failure ….a very myopic one at that !
To Robert Cassidy, you’re full of it. It was the East German communist government who built that wall, and they
did so to keep their own citizens from escaping. We are building the wall to keep illegals who take jobs Americans will
do, and have been drastically eroding American wages, and burdening our schools, health care systems and everything else
because they are too lazy and corrupt to work for change in their own countries. In fact, your support of amnesty and
open borders prevents pressure being put on corrupt, wealthy countries like Mexico to raise wages and provide opportunity
for their own people. You support the status quo, not personal liberty and civil rights.
Only 2% of illegal aliens pick crops, so again, your lies don’t hold water. In fact they have actually cost legal migrant workers
their jobs picking crops, and guting their wages. Americans do clean rooms, build houses, carpentery, landscaping and
many other jobs. You just need to pretend that they don’t because you want to discriminate against Americans, who are
black, brown and white from being able to work with wage standards and workplace protections. You are the one seeking
to curtail freedom and rights.
Hey, I’d be willing to give up a thin strip of useless desert to keep the illegals out. Build the fence where you can and any American land south of it can wallow in No Man’s Land.
Without those “illegals †Who will harvest crops , clean hotel rooms, hospitals….work in restaurant kitchens and collect trash
Legal Americans who show up in the unemployment figures for every year, genius.
