[CLUE-Talk] Rep Tancredo's Anti-Immigration Stance

[Jeffery Cann]

I did not vote for Rep. Tancredo, but I receive his
email newsletter.  He has been anti-immigration and
continues to beat this drum. 

Here's an excerpt from last week's letter:

OTHER NEWS:  Will We Still Be A Nation? 
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 

That provocative question was posed by Republican
Congressman Tom Tancredo at a recent luncheon attended
by Accuracy in Media. Tancredo believes that mass
immigration, both legal and illegal, combined with 
multiculturalism represents the "greatest danger this
country has ever faced."  He warned that the
government and the media have failed to confront the
national security, economic, and even health
consequences of 
unrestricted immigration. He said that the government
is ignoring the 70 percent of Americans who polling
data show favor tightened U.S. borders.  He says that
the concept of secure national borders is rapidly
becoming an anachronism, especially in Washington.
Many of his colleagues on Capitol Hill believe that
market forces and globalization will erase national
borders.  They are supported by multinational
corporations that view the "global village" as their
marketplace and support tearing down national borders.
But Tancredo says that corporations are simply seeking
cheaper 
sources of production.

I'm wondering if CLUEbies share his opinion on
immigration.  Any comments?
