Rep. Tom Tancredo wants the U.S. to become France
Today's WP editorial page writes:
REP. TOM TANCREDO (R-Colo.) has a bold idea to stop illegal immigration: Deny automatic citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants. "There is general agreement about the fact that citizenship in this country should not be bestowed on people who are children of folks who come into this country illegally," he told the Washington Times. Wow. It's amazing how sometimes you see a politician who just doesn't get it. And by it, I mean America. As much as Republicans seem to hate everything French, this guy seems to want to import their style of immigration law. |

If France and ourselfs didn't allow immigrants to penetrate our borders we wouldn't have a thing to worry about. I believe there should be troops on our borders firing warning shots. And if that didn't work they should shoot to wound and apprehend. We worry about being politically correct too much these days.
This is an invasion.

I'm not sure I buy the 'invasion' rhetoric. People have been saying the same thing about immigrants to this country for as long as this country has been around. Even a cursory glance at history is rife with examples of anti-immigrant sentiment. If it wasn't the Germans, it was the Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Eastern Europeans, Swedish, Norwegians, etc. Each group came in, got beaten around for a while, and eventually assimilated enough to complain about the new batch of people coming in that looked different, spoke a different language, or whatever. Even the same arguments were made about the supposed inferiority of the newcomers. So I don't see how it's any different these days - just a different group to act as the nation's collective whipping boy.
