Take uncontrolled immigration, add a multiculturalist refusal to encourage assimilation, and you have a prescription for national disaster. Our common culture is being eroded and our heritage devalued. Potential terrorists are being let in through unguarded borders, and American citizens are denied job opportunities as employers hire illegals for a quarter of the pay.To the irritation of his colleagues in Congress, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo insists on mentioning such things. Worse, he insists on pointing out that this hasn't just happened by some malign fate: it is the result of policies enacted by our elected representatives, Republicans as much as Democrats. Tancredo challenges us to reject the status quo and demand that our lawmakers—and our President—put America's well-being first.
