Earlier this week, Pope Benedict XVI called on the United States to do “everything possible to fight…all forms of violence so that immigrants may lead dignified lives.” Today, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) blasted the pope’s pro-immigrant position:
I would like to know what part of our lax immigration policy is considered violent. I fail to see how accepting more refugees than any other nation — and providing free health care, education, housing and social service benefits to millions of illegal aliens is in any way “violent” or “degrading.”
Tancredo “was raised Catholic but left the church.” Yesterday, as the pope arrived in the United States to meet with President Bush, the Bush administration carried out massive immigration raids in five states.

Tancrazy is a sick man. He is a produce of immigrants and he can't get pass it. No matter how well he does he takes the immigrant issue personal. It stems from his pass. His grandparents on both sides came to America and weren't treated well. That got passed on to his parents then to him. It's a family matter that still hurts and Tancrazy is taking it out on others. Now some immigrants did well in the US but when you really think about it every American is a produce of an immigrant. Some came to the US for the freedom of the new land others as slaves to work the land. The only people who can say their aren't immigrants are Indians and Mexicans from Mexico. If Americans would face the facts of American History some of these problems wouldn't be problem.
"Tancredo “was raised Catholic but left the church.” "
Tanwacko left the church? Hmmm, sounds like he's going to hell no matter what.
