...By basics [U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo] means forcing all illegal immigrants to go home and reapply to enter the country legally if they want to return, making English the national language and denying municipal services for illegal aliens such as driver's licenses, Social Security benefits and state-subsidized education. Huckabee has come under particular fire for backing college-level grants for the children of illegal immigrants in Arkansas. "We are a better country than to punish children for what their parents did," said Huckabee, defending his stance, in a Florida debate last month...1. "forcing" would seem to imply some form of mass deportations; Tancredo actually supports attrition which might be better described as "encouraging".
Tancredo has announced he is also not running for reelection for his Congressional seat. His immediate plans, he said, are to hang out with his grandkids, stump for Romney and finish his last year in office. After that, who knows? Romney may one day need to appoint a head of Immigration and Naturalization Services.

what's new? the system wants mexico here, so what don't you get about rats? after all just look at what the pigs have done on the borders, don't you people get it?
Chris: We need an article explaining the holding in Plyer v. Doe. The case holds that illegal immigrant children cannot be denied K-12 public education. The case does not say, however, that school district or local government officials may not report the names of the children (and their parents) to Immigration & Customs Enforcement. KAB
