Tancredo is a maniac...to put it as kindly as I can without resorting to abuses :-) This is the some fool who decided to try and have the family of an honour student deported after a local nespaper profiled the kid who scored the highest marks in High School but could not go on to college becuase he was illegal; Tancredo decided to report them to the INS, the whole town turned against him and he went back to whatever rock he's been living under! Tancredo is disregarded by the GOP themselves becuase they think he is a maniac and a polarising figure who has the potential to alienate the all to important Latino/Latina voting block. The GOP is not about to shoot itself in the foot by alienating what is the largest voting block to appease the Neo-con's in the party. Bush learnt Spanish (forsaking learning English in the process!!)and he's not about to let that go up in smoke. The GOP has got to realize and seems like relaization has finally dawned that they cannot deport the aliens when companies rely on them and the economy of the U.S is driven and sustained to a very large extent by these very same people...the effort/desire to deport the illegal population is doomed to failure.
