T4 Tailgate! Congressman Tom Tancredo to celebrate Quarterback Tim Tebow

By | 12.09.11 | 10:15 am

Tim Tebow is the winning Denver Broncos quarterback who plays ugly and prays constantly. Tom Tancredo is the retired Republican Colorado Congressman who endlessly speechifies and inevitably offends. Tebow’s dedication to worshiping Christ may only be matched in this world by Tancredo’s dedication to ending illegal immigration. The two are bringing their religions together this Sunday for a “T4″ tailgate party as the Broncos host the Chicago Bears.

Colbert mocks Alabama immigration law for torpedoing agricultural industry

By | 10.28.11 | 10:52 am

Mock cable news conservative Stephen Colbert this week skewered Alabama lawmakers who passed the state’s toughest-in-the-nation anti-illegal immigration legislation this year. Alabama’s “papers please” law endorsed in Colorado by immigration crusader Tom Tancredo came amid a wave of similar proposals floated last spring by Republican state lawmakers around the country, including here in Colorado. The law has led to a mass exodus of Latinos in Alabama, which has left the agricultural industry shorthanded and thousands of acres of produce unpicked and rotting during harvest season.

As Alabama has supplanted Arizona as the state with the strictest immigration laws, it’s no surprise that it is also gathering supporters and opponents from all over the world. The latest out of state group to weigh in is Colorado’s Team America, led by former congressman Tom Tancredo.

If you are Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce, one of the best known small-time politicians in the country, and you’re facing a recall election that centers around your sponsorship of SB 1070, the granddaddy of single-state immigration bills, what do you do?

Immigration debate tinged by racism, Latinos charge

By | 10.05.11 | 9:55 am

Immigration is an important issue in the United States, but is it something the GOP nomination for president should hinge on? Is there a reason that as unauthorized immigration from Mexico to the U.S. steadily declines, the rhetoric becomes ever more charged?

Tancredo slams Perry as an ‘arrogant, open border, pro-amnesty politician’

By | 09.27.11 | 9:37 am

Former Colorado Congressman and anti-illegal immigration crusader Tom Tancredo has no patience with Republican presidential frontrunner Rick Perry, the Texas governor with the Hollywood hair who fired up the right when he announced his candidacy but who has stumbled under the national spotlight ever since. In the wake of last week’s GOP candidate debate, Tancredo decried Perry as an arrogant “name-calling, open border, pro-amnesty politician.”

Rick Perry’s immigration issues point at what’s wrong with the process, says political scientist

By | 08.23.11 | 12:01 pm

To be successful as the governor of Texas, it doesn’t hurt to be a friend to the Latino community. To become the Republican presidential nominee, however, it may hurt a great deal.

Arizona Senator Russell Pearce set for recall

By | 08.16.11 | 8:33 am

A Superior Court judge on Friday rejected a challenge filed by Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce’s attorney, and ruled that the recall of Pearce could proceed. Pearce’s attorney had argued that many of the signatures collected were invalid and that signature collectors may have misled signers.

Rick Perry once called Tom Tancredo a racist

By | 08.12.11 | 12:24 pm

Rick Perry can’t win for losing. Latino votes are important to any Texas politician and for years Perry was considered a friend by immigrant groups. The Republican presidential nomination, though is unlikely to go to a coddler of immigrants and he has recently taken steps to be seen as tougher on illegal immigration.
