Tancredo’s new ad says open borders leading to rape of children
GOP presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo unveiled a new television ad Tuesday that said open borders are leading to rapes and other violence against American citizens.
The ad — which can be seen by clicking here — focuses on Central American gangs such as MS-13 and shows bloody pictures of victims of gang violence.
Than a voice says that the gangs are now on American soil “pushing drugs, raping kids, destroying lives” and blames the violence on “gutless politicians who refuse to defend our borders.”
It ends with the words: Secure the Borders. Deport those who don’t belong. Make sure they never come back. Tom Tancredo. President.
Tancredo caused a stir last month with another ad that linked immigration to terrorism. That ad showed a hooded man blowing up a shopping mall.
It condemned “spineless politicians” who “refuse” to protect the borders.
Many groups decried the ad as anti-immigrant and an attempt at fear-mongering, but Tancredo stood by the spot.

I fully agree. If the borders are not protected, the illegal aliens with crime on their mind will choose the American Jails every time. And they do. This article is from the Chief of the Lardo Sector of the Border Patrol and it provides attitude of the current Administration and the Senate.
Judicial Watch Obtains Videotape of Border Patrol Sector Chief Decrying Illegal Immigration Enforcement

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it recently uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act a videotape (and transcript) of an August 15, 2007 town hall meeting on illegal immigration held in Laredo, Texas. During the meeting, held at Texas A&M International University’s campus, US Border Patrol (USBP) Laredo Sector Chief Carlos X. Carrillo disclaimed the illegal immigration and narcotics enforcement missions of the USBP. “The Border Patrol’s job is not to stop illegal immigrants … The Border Patrol’s job is not to stop narcotics … or contraband or narcotics … the Border Patrol’s mission is not to do any of those things … The Border Patrol’s job is not to stop criminals … The Border Patrol’s job is to stop terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering this country,” Mr. Carrillo stated.

I thank Tom Tancredo for having the courage to tell America that illegal immigration is bad for this country.
Folks have been talking around the coffee table for decades about the problems caused by illegal aliens and illegal immigration, but few have had the courage to stand up in public and tell it like it is, and to demand that something be done about it. Tancredo is telling the truth in this ad.
On Halloween of 2007, a pregnant woman named Leticia Barrera was shot in the head and killed by gang violence as she brought her three young children home from trick-or-treating in the Back-of-the-Yards neighborhood of Chicago. Her brains were blown out right in front of her kids — blood and shards of bone everywhere for those children to see.
Is that the kind of future we want for our communities in this country?
SHUT THE BORDER and OUST THE GANGS!

I just want to say that once Tancredo drops out, his supporters are all welcome in the Ron Paul ReEVOLution. Pauls stance on illegal aliens: 1) No amnesty 2)End birthright citizenship. 3)No welfare or federal benefits. 4) Secure our borders.

All politicians need to say this time and time again during the campaign. Those that do not, well, they just want this country destroyed and for what…VOTES.
