Immigrants rights and advocacy groups in Colorado say they are hesitantly hopeful following the Trump administration’s decision to keep a program that protects some younger immigrants from...

The conservative Colorado Springs Gazette wrote recently that a Tancredo general election candidacy would doom Republican candidates all down the ticket. Yet "the Tanc" charges on. That's what he does. And that's why his supporters love him.

The Colorado GOP’s nightmare is coming true. Tom Tancredo, unfazed by the candidates running against him, is speeding toward victory in the primary race for governor.  

Alex Nowrahsteh of the libertarian CATO Institute says immigration reform of the infamous 3/10-year bar may be passable, and arch-restrictionist Mark Krikorian says it's not amnesty.

At this point, the single photograph might have gained as much attention as has the entire "Viva Tancredo" campaign.

Colorado supporters of an Arizona-style immigration bill say they will pull the bill this morning before it comes to a vote. As reported by The Durango Herald, even Republicans feared the bill was unconstitutional, and Democrats said it wasn't needed in Colorado anyway.

The long-coming death of the Bush-era project to build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border was officially announced Friday. Since 2005, taxpayers have shelled out $15 million a mile for roughly 53 miles of networked cameras, ground sensors and radar that can't tell the difference between swaying plants and border-hopping humans.

The Colorado Springs Gazette this week came out with an editorial strongly opposing Arizona-style immigration reform. Republicans may be off to a horrible start....

On July 21, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources unanimously approved a bill to designate part of the Organ Mountains in southern New Mexico as wilderness.
