Tancredo's Kulture War

Tancredo's Kulture War

Konservative kandidate Tom Tancredo in IC last night:
"'There are more issues than jobs we're losing,' said Tancredo, an outspoken advocate for immigration reform. 'It's an issue of our culture.'

Lax immigration laws that don't support assimilation are fostering what Tancredo called a 'culture under attack from within.'"


Harsh hard-right words in front of the Jim Leach Johnson County Republican Party. The article lacks any local reacts or renunciations. But the Press-Citizen wins points for its sense of humor: I don't know if he immigrated or not, but I'm guessing a reporter named Hieu Pham has a family background that includes relatively recent immigration. Nice touch.
