Why Are Many Diseases Back, Decades After Being Wiped Out in the U.S.?

If you think data about illegal alien crime is hidden from public, just try to find information on the contagious diseases brought across our borders by illegal aliens from nearly 100 countries. If we survey the anecdotal and sporadic official data of the past fifteen years, there is no doubt we are being invaded daily by dangerous diseases.

Can a Dying Civilization Defeat ISIS and Radical Islam?

Without question, our military is superior to any other on earth and we could inflict devastating damage to ISIS if we unleashed our military forces against them. But we are not going to do that—not today, not next month and not after the next atrocity strikes Cleveland, Phoenix or Richmond.

Tancredo: Marco Rubio Carries the Establishment Flag on Immigration

No one can deny that Marco Rubio is an attractive candidate. Rubio has a dream and he has a strategy to fulfill that dream. He is a more formidable candidate than Jeb Bush because he is articulate and is running as a “centrist conservative.” That Rubio is an open borders Chamber of Commerce Republican is undeniable from his record, and when conservatives compare any candidate’s campaign promises to his voting record, they believe the record, not the promises.

Former Congressman: I’m Quitting GOP

The proudly socialist Democrats are full of passionate intensity, while the Republican leadership is full of pathetic excuses. After this week’s House GOP “budget deal,” which betrays nearly every promise made to grassroots conservatives since 2010, I have decided it is time to end my affiliation with the Republican Party.

George W. Bush’s Greatest Sins Came After 9-11, Not Before

There are more culprits in this story than George W. Bush, and at the head of that list is the U.S. Congress—a Congress that has been under Republican control for at least half of those 14 years since 9-11. Republican leaders in Congress – including Speaker-to-be Paul Ryan, have spent more time promoting amnesty bills than trying to plug the loopholes in our immigration laws that allow terrorists safe haven in our homeland.

Goodbye, Columbus, Hello Montezuma: PC Attempt to Rewrite History

It was a Columbus Day Parade and the American Indian Movement (AIM) had promised to disrupt it after their failed attempt to get the city of Denver to cancel the permit. Well, Russell Means, who was the head of AIM, and his cohorts did their best to stop the event and things did get violent – but the parade went on.

White House Reveals End Game for Massive Immigration

The Obama administration is launching a campaign to accelerate the conversion of millions of immigrants to citizenship. The nation’s immigration agencies will spend big bucks on “outreach” activities and the Naturalization process will be streamlined.

Tancredo: America’s Greatness Not ‘Lost,’ It Was Decapitated

The Bloomberg Politics Poll has published the results of a survey that asked people which presidential candidate can best recover “America’s lost greatness.” The American people never voted for any of this explicitly. But we did elect year after year a Congress that allowed the erosion of the rule of law to the point where even Republican candidates for president shrug when the Supreme Court invents a new law on marriage out of whole cloth.

2016 ‘Hispanic Vote’ Not in Democrats’ Pocket

Two facts jump out at you when you take time to look below the surface of Hispanic voting — and beyond the clichés spouted by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. First, the “Hispanic vote” is far from monolithic, and second, immigration is not the most important political issue for a large majority of Hispanic voters.

This Isn’t The Way to Honor the Victims of Islamist Terrorism

The Republican majority in Congress couldn’t find a way to stop the Iran nuclear deal after discarding the constitutional requirement for a two-thirds Senate vote on treaties. If they can’t say no to 10,000 jihadist-infiltrated refugees, they should just resign, close up shop and go home. If Congress rolls over on this one, let’s stop pretending we have a representative form of government.

Tancredo: European Colonization, Not Refugee Resettlement

Why are the more than one million Muslim refugees so anxious to get to northern Europe and not, say, Saudi Arabia or Egypt? Why are we obligated to help them get to Amsterdam, Oslo and London? And why in the world is the United States government planning to take 66,000 Syrian refugees? The United States should follow Hungary and just say no. We do not need another 66,000 Muslim migrants added to the over one million Muslims residing here now.

Tancredo: Jeb Bush’s Politically Correct Racism

The media are strangely silent about the open hypocrisy in Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign using ethnic stereotypes to explain his position on Birthright Citizenship. To Bush, it is acceptable to slander Asian women as abusers of Birthright Citizenship.

Tancredo: Fox News, Bill O’Reilly Rush To Defend Birthright Citizenship

The author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan, a close friend of President Lincoln, stated, “[The 14th amendment] will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States….”

Tancredo: Is Trump A Highway, Or A Bridge, To Conservative Victory?

Conservatives have welcomed Trump’s attacks on the establishment, have cheered his boldness, and have applauded his courage. He has taken on hitherto taboo issues like immigration enforcement, and has demonstrated the hollowness of what passes for conventional wisdom. America needed a loud, rude wake up call. No one else has done that, and that accomplishment is huge.

Tancredo: Muslim Immigration Should Be Halted in Wake of Chattanooga Terrorism Attack

We ought to halt all legal immigration and refugee resettlement from Muslim-majority countries and declare an indefinite moratorium — until two changes occur. First, we must devise a better way to identify and deny admission not only to terrorists but also to persons who sympathize with radical Islamism. It will surprise the average American to learn we are not capable of doing that today.
