Rep. Tom Tancredo joins me on the Alex Jones Show to discuss his upcoming primary challenge from Sen. Bob Smith, R-Illinois. We discuss the need for a border patrol bridge across the border with Mexico.
00:00:26.000Of course, Bob Smith is one of the few good senators we've got, as you just heard, blocking the Republicans passing an incredible gun-grab bill that they passed out of the House two weeks ago.
00:00:36.000We are now joined by Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado.
00:00:42.000And he's going to need your help in the next election.
00:00:44.000He beat his opponent, the Democrat, by 37 points.
00:00:49.000A lot of Democrats voted for him, which outraged Lord Bush, according to a roll call newspaper here, also Newsmax.
00:00:58.000Representative Tom Tancredo, the nation's most outspoken opponent of the invasion of illegal aliens, is being targeted for defeat, not by the Democrats, but by the GOP establishment.
00:01:48.000Probably that's all he should think about it.
00:01:49.000That's, you know, what he's supposed to do.
00:01:51.000But the reality is that he is, I think, a little more aggressive when it comes to, well, being willing to overlook what should be some basic policy principles that we should stand on, regardless of what happens politically.
00:02:08.000And so, I really think he's much more of the problem than the President himself.
00:02:14.000But, you know, this issue is one that I'm certainly not going to go away from, no matter what happens, no matter what they do, no matter if they're looking to try to run a primary against me, they're looking for people out here to actually run in a primary.
00:02:30.000They know they probably cannot defeat me in a general election with a Democrat, but they are looking for somebody else to do it.
00:02:36.000And I don't care if I have to fight a primary every two years.
00:03:25.000Remember, I think I may have mentioned this last time I was on your show, but it's worth perhaps repeating.
00:03:30.000When I was in Mexico, I was speaking to the then head of a newly created agency called the Ministry for Mexicans Living in the United States.
00:03:41.000And the guy, his name is Juan Hernandez.
00:03:46.000Mr. Hernandez is a citizen of Mexico and a citizen of the United States.
00:03:51.000Born in Texas, he now, or was at the time anyway, sitting on the cabinet of a foreign government, Mexico.
00:03:59.000And when we talked about this issue with him, he explained that part of his responsibility was to make sure that as many Mexican nationals came into the United States as possible.
00:04:09.000Well, they're setting up offices in Houston, in Chicago, at an old train station.
00:04:39.00030% of the GDP comes from Mexican nationals outside of Mexico sending money back home.
00:04:44.000And then we've got these local political bosses that want to have racial politics, so they want the entire third world south of the border to come up here.
00:04:53.000Another 15 to 20 million births each year down there.
00:04:56.000I mean... He went on to say, This is a direct quote that I always say is one of the most candid statements I've heard from a Mexican official.
00:05:09.000He said, Congressman, it's not two countries, it's just a region.
00:05:54.000How do we effectively force Congress to carry out the Constitution and the will of the people?
00:06:00.000I'll tell you right now that I believe that we have, our caucus, the Immigration Reform Caucus, which I started several years ago, has grown to the point where we have become effective in doing one thing, and that is stopping the attempt Stopping the momentum heading toward open borders.
00:06:15.000I cannot tell you that I have been able to reverse that, but I can tell you that I believe we have been able to stop it, and I think we will be able to stop it, because the majority, the last time we had a vote on this, A majority of Republicans in our conference voted with me to stop the amnesty.
00:06:31.000Now, that was being pushed by the President of the United States!
00:06:35.000You can imagine how much guts that took for, I mean, honest to God, for over 100 members of the Republican caucus to support our efforts to stop it.
00:06:47.000Our danger isn't so much in the Congress, because honestly, I think we can stop The movement toward amnesty, but what's going to happen is that they are going to achieve it state-by-state, city-by-city, municipality-by-municipality, through the matricular card distribution.
00:07:08.000cities from San Francisco to Houston are saying they will accept that.
00:07:11.000Also, Houston Chronicle reported, along with Christian Science Monitor, that since 1996, the IRS issues tax ID numbers under any fictitious name.
00:07:20.000With that, anybody, whether they're Russian, Mexican, or Chinese, can go and get a fake Social Security card, then get a bank account, then get welfare.
00:07:30.000Here's the point, Congressman, I'm sure you've made, I know you've made this point.
00:07:33.000They're telling Americans to accept military occupation, to accept NORTHCOM, and the Total Information Awareness Surveillance Network.
00:07:40.000But at the same time, our borders are to be wide open and the government's handing out fake IDs.
00:08:05.000We are fearful of actually stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into this country because the political ramifications of that might be harmful to some people.
00:08:15.000I'll tell you right now that leaving this country vulnerable, as we are, Undeniably, there isn't a human being on the planet who doesn't understand the porous natures of our border and the danger that that poses.
00:08:31.000And yet, and yet, even with that knowledge, We refuse to do anything significant to stop it.
00:08:39.000I don't know any other word to describe it because you're looking at a situation where the federal government's primary responsibility, the one thing we are supposed to do, is to protect the lives and property of the people of the country.
00:08:51.000All the other garbage we get involved with It's all extraneous.
00:08:54.000Find me the Department of Education and the Constitution or the Health and Human Services.
00:09:01.000We need one thing, protect our borders, and we can't even, won't even do that.
00:09:06.000Well, it's all getting radically expanded and it's only going to get worse.
00:09:11.000We're going to be held hostage by these foreign groups that are here with their local political leaders who have a stake in expanding this.
00:09:17.000The corporations want the lower wages.
00:10:31.000Briefly, I talked to my Kendall County Sheriff here in Illinois and told him about the border problem, and he kind of shrugged his shoulders and said, well, there's not really much we can do about it.
00:10:42.000And that it's no big deal because we're all immigrants anyways.
00:10:46.000How do I deal with a Republican sheriff like that?
00:10:49.000Yeah, what do we do about this capitulation to the six and a half billion third world populations coming here, the 400 million from the south?
00:10:56.000Well, you know, I don't know how long you have to talk to him to explain the real problems we face, but the reality is that we're all a nation of immigrants, but When our grandfathers came here, how many of them asked to have dual citizenship status?
00:11:33.000The idea that we tell people all of the time that their children should, if they come here with a different language, should retain that language.
00:11:51.000If you'd like to get involved, 800-259-9231.
00:11:52.000800-259-9231. Tom Jancredo joining us.
00:11:57.000So we have our illustrious Republican Congress that passed HR 4757.
00:12:13.0004757, Our Lady of Peace Act, the most draconian gun control bill since the 1968 Gun Control Act, and now this headline, GOP targets pro-borders, Tancredo.
00:13:11.000When you ask them, you know, we will talk to Border Patrol people and INS agents at length, and they'll say, you know, Most of these folks aren't coming here to be Americans.
00:13:22.000They are coming here to get a job, get some money, eventually send it back home, maybe return, but the reality is they're not interested in becoming Americans.
00:14:25.000So it shows that it's actually an establishment move to balkanize, to subdivide, to divide and conquer this country.
00:14:33.000Yes, and here's what they think, I believe.
00:14:36.000You know, you have to say to yourself, why would people who ostensibly go out and ask for votes Why would they not understand what you just said?
00:14:50.00080% of the people want some control over these borders.
00:16:56.000Here's my question for the Congressman.
00:16:58.000There's two issues that I think could galvanize public support.
00:17:01.000That is, learning more about the criminal statistics about the murderers and rapists.
00:17:06.000Half of Los Angeles County Jail illegals, yeah.
00:17:09.000Exactly, but the media covers it up, the mainstream media.
00:17:13.000And also, the money spent on housing, food stamps, and utility bills, or whatever, that comes out of our taxes... Let me get a quick comment from the Congressman, and then he's got to go and I'll hold you over, Wayne.
