Tancredo Fights Amnesty on Hannity and Colmes

[OriginalGuest]

Learn a new word, jackpot baby.

[OriginalGuest]

Put your thoughts in a clear and concise sentence, and perhaps we will THINK about what you have to say. As of now it's only jibberish.

[ronl49]

They will never allow this man to be president. He makes too much sense. He cant be controled by them.

[JustJoelyouassclown]

Well actually NAFTA DID work (free trade helps American companies who want to open factories in Mexico to make cars for half the wages; now they don't have to pay to bring it back here). We agree that Corporations exploit cheap labor, I would contend though that that if you were impoverished YOU would want to do something about it, and try to support your family the best way you can.

[OriginalGuest]

I'd also expect countries to enforce their laws and try to stop me. Or, barring that, I'd try to fix my country.

[JustJoelyouassclown]

We should. I, however, am also concerned about not letting the next 15million in. I didn't mean to exonerate them, I was just trying to display reality as I saw it. They are poor, so they come here. I don't want to vilify them as criminals as if they are murderers, they are hungry. But they need to leave, and fix own country.

[apromoterofgod]

Illegal* That's how you spell that.

Think God. No stealing our earned tax money when our country has it's own people who need medical care.

[kincoransw]

Thank God for Tom Tancredo!

[cockTHEgun]

Once you indicate that the Drug "War" is a good thing, you lose credibility. How did we get rid of bootleggers? We ended prohibition. How do we get rid of drug runners? We end ALL prohibition.

[specultr]

Tom,

The American people want White, English-speaking immigrants only. Keep fighting for it!

[willow2947]

America happily welcomes people of all races, religions or whatever If they go about it the legal way.

[specultr]

Tom is against legal immigration too. Didn't you watch the NH debate? He evaded the Vietnam War when his country needed him. He doesn't "believe" in evolution. He seems like presidential material to me.

[JustJoelyouassclown]

lol i love the propaganda this station perpetuates. Notice the transfer between immigrants being frisked, and the idea that immigrants are a bad thing. Bermudez is being tag teamed by hannity and tancredo. You actually think this qualifies as a debate? and wheres colmes?

[willow2947]

Immigrant = Law Abiding and Welcomed and Illegal = Law Breaking and Not Welcomed. Two completely different types. Tom made that quite clear. Maybe you should watch again. While your watching again listen for the Threat coming from your friend!

Requireing straight answers is not tag teaming.

[JustJoelyouassclown]

No one is pro-illegal immigrant, as much as both men paint him to be. Tancredo wants enforement, which the officers do already. So, essentially he wants to do nothing about the 12million illegals are here already.

Fox plays a red or blue game, they give you things to fear, and tell you who to blame.

[Notfreeloader]

The beaner always lier and always we need deport colmes to JUAREZ and pay him by peso

[eduardorpmx]

How come we "can" enforce right now, but we won't be able to enforce once they're registered ??? Hannity and that representative are dead wrong.

[Binks1961]

Can you belive Elias Bermudez.. If we enforce the LAW??? we are making a mistake???...PUHLEZZE

[ls354]

Is not that easy Tancredo

[mdrosser]

One solution is to impeach G.W. Bush for not protecting every state from invasion and ensuring a Republican form of government for every state. Impeach Bush the globalist before he can do anymore damage to this nation, and vote every skunk who supports amnesty out of office.

[Binks1961]

Amen Mdrosser

[cockTHEgun]

Actually, the U.S. constitution does not allow a president to "protect every state from invasion." Each state is supposed to decide its own immigration policies.

[mdrosser]

Within the role of the Executive branch, the Constitution states that all states shall be protected from foreign invasion and guaranteed a Republican form of government. THANK GOD that AMNESTY IS DEAD!

[cockTHEgun]

Yes, the feds can protect a state from invasion. You are engaged in the dumbing down of language. You are trying to redefine "invaders" to include people who choose to avoid the bureaucratic hoops which can take 10 years to completely jump through. The founding fathers were referring to ACTUAL "invasion". Can you speak of immigration without resorting to intellectual dishonesty? Or have I opened your eyes?

[mdrosser]

Anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal according to existing laws. If you don't think we're being invaded by third world countries you must have Superglue on your eyelids. Sealing America's borders and cutting off all welfare to ILLEGAL aliens is the first step for this Congress and the El Presidente, Jorge Bush, a real dud.

[cockTHEgun]

I agree that we should cut off welfare to EVERYONE. The founding fathers were not referring to illegal immigration when they used the word "invasion". It is liberal interpretation of the constitution like this that got us such things as imminent-domain abuse. We should go back to the Ellis Island model and just check immigrants for disease and criminal background. They are currently breaking BAD laws like Rosa Parks and drug users.

[mdrosser]

Rosa Parks was an American citizen and protest a law that punished her for her skin color. To equate this to ILLEGAL aliens is preposturous. These are not BAD laws, the lawas are not being enforced and Bush is not upholding his sworn office in letting it go as it is. I'm glad amnesty for illegals is dead and hopefully it will never rear its ugly head again.

[cockTHEgun]

It does equate. Rosa Parks' righteousness did not hinge upon her being a "citizen." Current immigration law is bad because of its requirements. A free country does not force people to speak a certain language, or demonstrate certain knowledge etc.. All that should be required is be free of extremely virulent disease or violent criminal record. Then let the free-market do its work.

[algua]

just waitt,next year,2008,2009,2010 someday..

[JimPlowman]

Congressman Tancredo "as will I" hahaha You have my vote sir! Please keep up the YouTube Q&A

[OriginalGuest]

Sean's hilarious. First he attacks anyone who doesn't kiss Bush's ass, then when the opposition becomes too much he attacks amnesty, but goes out of his way to pin it on Democrats. And then there's his complete whitewash of the NAU.

[KayzieMichelle]

Cock the Gun,

Don't you get it?  Illegals bring terrible disease, are from corrupt countries, where gang mentality is normal. We need these restrictions, the immigration classes, the TB and hepatitis checks. I can tell you as a nurse, that we must protect our public from these two diseases. They did that at Ellis Island, if you tested positive, you got right back on the boat and sent home. Immigrants must be taught what being an American is before they can understand living here.

[cockTHEgun]

Right, I only say that we should relax the immigration laws. The less hoops there are, the more immigrants will enter through legal means, and thus more will be checked for disease. I don't want a bureaucrat deciding who has a "gang mentality". If an immigrant wants an education, let him pay for it. I am not paying for immigration classes (government indoctrination). End welfare, End NASA, etc..

[norandrostenedione]

CockTheGun, I am for Ending welfare, Nasa and for freedom too.But we also need private property laws. Just like i can't move into your house uninvited then 2 billion poor, 3r worlders can't come to U.S. to ruin it like they did their lands.

[cockTHEgun]

nordione, I understand that you do not want illegals on YOUR private land. Unfortunately, the U.S. has communal land and I get some say in how that land is used. End welfare, relax immigration laws, and remove all "vice" laws, i.e. prostitution, drugs, gambling, etc.. We are currently not HALF the country we could be. Illegals broke BAD laws. Its a complicated issue that needs to be simplified by getting back to the constitution.

[catpaws55423]

Bermudez is an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jgirl76]

There will be an anti illegal immigration rally to protest S. 1348 at the Federal Building in Downtown Seattle this Tuesday 5/29/07 from 11am to 1pm.

915 2nd Avenue

Seattle, WA 98174

***************************

If you live in Washington State and are reading this, we need people to show. The illegals have had their protests, and now we will have ours. If you don't stand, the illegal immigrants have shown the will to do so. And now we need your will to do so. Thank you.

[Cyrus255]

What I find funniest is that Colmes is trying to make the Mexican not like the bill so he can pretend it's "tough" to illegals.

Didn't work though.

Tom keep up the fight, and America will listen!

[Cyrus255]

In the bill, Gang members get amnesty as long as they "renounce" their gang status. Wow. Giving MS-13 amnesty is beyond dangerous.

Go Tom! Never give up! You will break through to the American people! Just keep speaking the truth!

[riovideo]

Bring in more Europeans.

[Cyrus255]

Agreed! Why should America settle for a bunch of welfare-demanding poor mexicans, instead of hardworking asians or better educated europeans.

[cockTHEgun]

Welfare is the problem. End it now and let businesses hire anyone they want from anywhere in the world.

[blaster21996]

The only thing tyranny needs to gain a foothold, is, people of good conscience to remain silent! Thomas Jefferson. Do something! Call Your Senator! Call The White House! Do Something!

[Cyrus255]

GO TOM!

This is America's LAST CHANCE. If this passes, 100 million new immigrants will come over the next few decades, and America will cease to be!

[cockTHEgun]

America will not cease to be. A country is moral only to the extent that it is free. If everyone ends up speaking swahili, it will not matter as long as the core principles of LIBERTY are retained. People SNEAK over because of the beurocratic, socialistic impediments that they would encounter doing so "legally". Only fools and the fearful respect bad laws. When we reduce the restrictions of "legal" immigration, LESS will SNEAK over.

[OriginalGuest]

That would make sense if illegals actually believed in liberty, or any decent American principles, which they don't. They only care about bleeding us dry and supporting their home countries. We have enough problems in our society without importing millions of people who hold absolutely no allegiance to us.

[cockTHEgun]

Bypassing government paperwork in order to engage in voluntary interactions is liberty in action. Those who would force a person to learn their language, are AGAINST liberty. Welfare is abused by citizens also. What is wrong with earning a paycheck and sending some of that money to your children? Does it matter in which country the children reside? I have the LIBERTY to send my money anywhere I want. And freedom trumps allegiance.

[OriginalGuest]

"Bypassing government paperwork...is liberty in action."

There's a new definition.

"Those who would force a person to learn their language, are AGAINST liberty."

Such as Americans who are having to learn spanish just so they can work a minimum wage job.

"Welfare is abused by citizens also."

So it's okay when others do it?

[cockTHEgun]

Only the government can force a person to learn a language. In the free marketplace, a business will cater to its clientèle. Are you and your socialist buddies going to tell a business that they cannot require an employee to speak spanish? Are you afraid of competition?

My point was that whether it is legals or illegals abusing the welfare system, the government is still taking my money and redistributing it.

[OriginalGuest]

"What is wrong with earning a paycheck and sending some of that money to your children?"

When it's money you've earned under the table while leaching off the government, yes there's something wrong with it.

"I have the LIBERTY to send my money anywhere I want. And freedom trumps allegiance."

Open borders nonsense. If you love illegals so much why aren't you encouraging them to change their messed up country instead of transforming ours?

[cockTHEgun]

I used the phrase "earning a paycheck", I am against welfare. One does not "earn" welfare.

So I cannot send my money anywhere?

I do NOT advocate open borders. But a giant, free country will ALWAYS have illegal immigrants. The only way to stop this would be to crack down and go house to house and require citizens and business owners to become enforcers.

I love freedom. I might agitate for other countries to move toward liberty, but I think I'll concentrate on the one where I reside.

[pcjunkie48]

Well looks like we can start be deporting your ass.And yes I do have a problem with scabs driving the wages down by undercutting businesses by 50% or more...And you make it out like these illegals don't suck on our system,Who pays the medical cost for you pal??The American tax payer?I'll take that as a yes

[JustJoelyouassclown]

many illegals are actually scarred to get medical benefits bc they think it might affect their status being here. You want to get rid of illegals, go after the businesses who hunt them down to raise their profit margins.

[OriginalGuest]

Good for those too scared, maybe they'll go home and ask Slim for some medical help.

[apromoterofgod]

Slim Shady maybe.

[apromoterofgod]

Our tax money can go to our own people's health care. The ones who are working to earn that tax money.

[pcjunkie48]

If that's what it takes then deport them all

[JustJoelyouassclown]

OR you could write your favorite shoe distributor and tell them to stop driving down wages, and forcing people to work for pennies a day. YOU THINK ALL THESE ILLEGALS WANT TO BE HERE???

Many would like to go back home, but American, and other foreign interest companies exploit them at home through trade agreements, so they come here.

[norandrostenedione]

to CckTheGu.We can't let billions of uneducated,poor people come to the U.S.A like that amnesty bill will allow to come here to take our land, jobs, resources, social security, medicare, and ruin our country . We have laws. and people can't just break them. I can't move into your house can I? .If we have open borders then 2 billion 3rd world illiterate people will move to the U.S.A.there are 6 billion poor people in the world

[cockTHEgun]

nor..dione: Immigration cannot be stopped. As long as the grass is greener, there will always be people seeking opportunity. Just check them for diseases and criminal records and more will opt for the "documented" route. As more people move here, the free-market scales up and more jobs and wealth are created. Only a RICH person can take your land, but only with your consent. I say put an end to welfare, but even the abuses of this system have not stopped the growth of wealth in America.

[ddd46219]

Of course they can afford it. Over 8 yrs it will cost $1.72 per day to pay this "fine".

[tyeporter]

AMEN!

Liberals want to create new laws giving amnesty to these foreign criminals when there are millions of legal immigrants working hard to obey the law!

Way to spit in the face of the law-abiding.
