Tom Tancredo is a former Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Colorado and founder of the Rocky Mountain Foundation.

There are two main political obstacles to a new amnesty bill in this session of Congress.

First, the White House has other priorities despite the whining from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. If President Obama and Rahm Emanuel were all that committed to a new amnesty bill as a top priority, the National Council of La Raza would not be sending out a newsletter alert asking its followers to bombard the White House, Reid and Pelosi with calls and emails demanding action “Ahora!â€

The Obama gang is very, very careful, and they threw a bone to LaRaza and the other pro illegal nutcases, and licked a finger to see which way the wind was blowing. Talk is talk but action is another thing.
