Tancredo to Block Religious Groups from Harboring Illegal Aliens

[TheWatchdog]

Tancredo.House
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO) today criticized a loophole in U.S. immigration law that was quietly created by U.S. Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT) in 2005. The “Bennett Loophole� created a broad exemption that allows religious organizations to knowingly transport, aid, abet and harbor illegal aliens.
“Allowing this law to remain on the books [...]

This guy uses so much common sense it's almost scary! I'm not used to politicians making any sense what so ever.

I believe Tom Tancredo is what the USA needs right now. We've got to get him elected.

Yeah Tom! This is what he was talking about on the Terry Anderson show last week. LOVE THAT MAN!!

Thought you might like to read some campaign insight from an email I received. Sorry for putting in the whole article, but I couldn't find a website from this guy (only his email pops up).

Tommie Thompson, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter and probably a few others have something in common. They aren't showing up in New Hampshire and Iowa. They don't have any staffs and they aren't raising any money.

Nevertheless, the press always ready for a new story reports on their running for presidency, as if they can magically click their fingers and have a viable chance of running for office. They may be running for a variety of reasons, to gain exposure (always good for a candidate), to ask supporters to give them money that they can use for their next serious campaign (Chris Dodd is famous for running and then not running for President) or because they are the darling of a particular political viewpoint (Ron Paul). But they certainly don't have as their objective to run for the nomination and win the Presidency. ( I get email on what a great candidate Ron Paul would be. Would someone please send me an email saying they have contributed $20 to his campaign)

I have continually stressed that a campaign is messenger, message, money and machine.

The four candidates on the Republican side that are seriously running for President are McCain, Romney, Giuliani and Tancredo While the first three lack any coherent message (except I am a great guy), they have the other three, messenger, money and machine.

When town meetings are held in New Hampshire, the four candidates that are represented are Mc, Rm, Gu, and Tc. They have offices in New Hampshire. They have workers that can represent them and they are visiting the state. (Tancredo has been tireless.)

I had it from an inside source about two weeks ago that McCain was tanking. That he simply was not bringing in any money. Now this is an expensive operation. If he has 140 employees, estimated, then at $30,000 per year, that is $5 million right there in expenses. Considering many consultants are high paid, then his expenses are even higher. This is not to count office space, advertising materials, travel, phones, etc. Having $10 million in the bank is not a lot against those expenses.

Published reports now say he has fired half his staff. This is a blow he cannot recover come. His campaign is over. It is like losing at Waterloo, you are just not going to be able to get your momentum back. No reason to support him by his backers. (And my source was very, very, right.)

Big smart money is interested in backing a candidate to be a front man for their positions (open borders, free trade, massive government spending). McCain is too much a maverick to have any inherent appeal to this crowd, but when he was in front, they would put money in his campaign.

Romney will eventually raise more money than Giuliani because he is a better front man for moneyed interests. Giuliani is too independent, and has too much liberal baggage that he cannot overcome.

Tancredo is running a much lower budget, therefore more sustainable campaign effort. With three to five operatives in Washington and keeping down expenses, no high paid consultants, then Tancredo will be in the field for the primaries. Personally, I think that by the time registering for the primaries comes around, (This September?) the paper candidates wil have disappeared.

Whether Giuliani disappears before the January 2008 NH primary is a question. But if he doesn't it will be a three way race between, Giuliani, Romney and Tancredo.

This is why it's so IMPORTANT that we send as much money to Tom as we can afford. I've contributed twice and will send many more in the coming months. It's such a thrill to receive his thank you form letters and emails. The guy is a saint as far as I'm concerned!! Yeah! :clap: :happy_08:

"Sen. Bennett’s law was passed as part of the Agriculture Appropriations bill in 2005. The Senator claims he authored the far-reaching provision to assist the Mormon Church in utilizing illegal alien missionaries and volunteers."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the many Mormons I know,the church does not tolerate breaking the law and counsels its members to correct their violations to stay in good standing with the church.
Those that want to serve as missionaries are not qualified if they are illegal.
I am told that according to the church they are not encouraged to immigrate here because they need to work to uplift their own country.
There are some illegals that I know that attend the church and the problem is if they are allowed to break laws with the consent of the church then they also think it is O K to break the laws and standards that the church sets for its members.
They are just as wrong as the Catholics and others if they knowingly allow these people to break the law.
