If you are not White and thinking in vote for Mr. Tancredo. You should be looking at his most rhetoric comments about other ethnicity.

April 3, 2006 issue - The lights were on, the cameras were rolling, but the special guest star was nowhere to be found. Last Friday afternoon, 55 men and women from 30 countries sat in a Denver conference room, clutching small American flags as they waited to be sworn in as U.S. citizens. The 12:15 starting time had come and gone, and some people were getting impatient. "For heaven's sake," one woman said, sighing. "What is the holdup?" A few minutes later, they had the answer. Tom Tancredo, the Republican congressman, was coming to welcome the new citizens. He was hard to miss when he breezed in, 25 minutes late, dressed in a dark suit and an American-flag necktie. Even so, few in the room recognized him until one man whispered, "He's the guy who sits on the border chasing illegals."
Tancredo may not be a household name yet, but he's doing everything he can to change that. As the House and Senate debate the nation's immigration and border-security laws, the four-term Coloradan has positioned himself as the loudest, angriest voice against the estimated 11 million illegal aliens now living in the United States. They are "a scourge that threatens the very future of our nation," he says. He laments "the cult of multiculturalism," and worries about America's becoming a "Tower of Babel." If Republican presidential candidates don't put the problem atop the agenda in 2008, he says he'll run himself, just to force the front runners to talk about it. Not that he thinks he'd win the White House. He declares himself "too fat, too short and too bald" to be president. If the Republicans lose the election because he's too tough on the issue, he says, "So be it."
Not so long ago, Tancredo was regarded as little more than a noisy pest on Capitol Hill. His colleagues shook their heads at his tireless demands for crackdowns on American employers who hire illegals and his idea for a 700-mile-long fence along the Mexican border. But in recent months, some of those same Republicans have come to realize that, while Tancredo may be a crank, he is a crank with a large and passionate following. Anti-immigration sentiment has always simmered, and it flares up about once a decade—the last time it hit this level was 1996, when California Gov. Pete Wilson made it the centerpiece of his failed presidential campaign. Tancredo was one of the first politicians to tap into the latest surge of anger. In states with large numbers of undocumented workers, voters complain that poor illegal’s are overwhelming public schools, clogging hospital emergency rooms and bankrupting welfare budgets. And they worry that inadequate border security makes it easy for would-be terrorists to sneak into the country. Tancredo's colleagues are listening. When he arrived in Washington, he started the Immigration Reform Caucus. The group attracted just 16 members. Today, there are 91.
Tancredo's anti-immigration campaign is also brazenly, almost gleefully, taking aim at George W. Bush and Karl Rove. The president had once hoped the immigration debate would center on his proposed guest-worker program, which would allow illegal’s—who fill millions of unskilled, low-wage jobs—to stay in the country for a set period of time. This was Bush the pragmatist, the former border-state governor who wanted to acknowledge the importance of immigrant labor to construction, fruit farming and other chunks of the U.S. economy. "He doesn't think it's morally right that a group that has been critical to the strength of the economy is operating in the shadows," says a senior Bush aide who, following policy, spoke anonymously. Meanwhile, Rove pushed the pure political benefits of the plan: immigrant-friendly policies would help the party reach out to the fast-growing Latino vote.
Instead, the immigration debate has split the GOP, with many Republicans in the House and Senate, worried about alienating voters, openly opposing the president. In December, the House tossed aside the worker program and passed a bill that features tougher security at the Mexican border—including Tancredo's cherished fence—and crackdowns on illegal’s who are already here. "You can't ignore him," says a GOP leadership aide who wouldn't be named because he wanted to keep his job.
In the Senate, Republicans, led by John McCain and Arlen Specter, have been working to come up with a compromise that would include border security, a guest-worker program and a way for illegal immigrants to "earn" citizenship. But Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a presidential contender with one eye on the anti-immigration vote—and the other one on outflanking McCain—has threatened to put forward his own get-tough plan this week if the senators fail to come through.

Mr. Tancredo I don’t understand why you had demonstrated too much active anger against Undocumented Immigrants and to a multiculturism that already had been existed here before you even born.
Or it’s because you are one of many xenophobou’s against Undocumented immigrants and specially Mexicans or another ethnicity?
So if you lamented the Multiculturism ; So you deny my existence , my culture, my ethnicity, as well as others.

So you want or promote the Monoculturism? What this meaning to you? Ethnicity stereotype or you have not been able to adjust or assimilate to the Multiculturism on this Country? Monoculturism, Xenophobia, ethnic stereotype, definicion of race, racial segretation is Racism here in other part of the world.
Then as an American Citizen not White. How do you want me to vote for you?………
Could you explain me and others without anger, sentiment, and without raising your high level of xenophobia against my culture,and ethnicity.
Why I should be vote it for you...and what would you do for me to change this point of view?
Or look at this video on the House of Democrats in Arizona how the tone and xenophobia against mexicans has been increase.

You would benefit immensely from looking the word 'xenophobe' up in a dictionary. You clearly have no idea what the word actually means.

And how could Tom change your point of view? As you are pretty clearly a racist.

I appreciate your input regarding to a misspelling error.
And for your knowledge I am a not a racist. I speak four different languages and well educated person who understand and feeling the xenophobia against my skin.
For your knowledge I have friends they are from other countries and we spoken other languages rather than just english.
When he deny to intregrate to a multuculturism. it's mean he want a Monoculturism right ? just white people. Well, he have a lot of work to do to change not only my point of view but as well as others. (Millions of citizens).And this is not intent to attack anybody just express my point of view.
