Answering Felipe Calderon: McClintock and Tancredo speak

You’ll be glad to know that not all elected officials are willing to allow a foreign leader to land on American soil and trash our nation’s immigration laws and the character of its citizens.

You won’t hear President Bush stand up to Mexican president Felipe Calderon. As I’ve been reporting, they’ve been quietly hashing out the $1.4 billion Mexican stimulus/border security package known as the Merida Initiative. With virtual silence from Congress.

Two Republicans did speak up during Calderon’s tour of the U.S. this week.

Tom McClintock, the staunch California GOP legislator, had this reaction when Calderon spoke to the California legislature:

Unlike two years ago, when about a half-dozen Republican lawmakers boycotted Mexican President Vicente Fox’s speech to the Legislature in a protest over illegal immigration, Calderon was warmly received.

But after the speech, Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock of Thousand Oaks said it was “inappropriateâ€

Two courageous and rightous gentlemen among many. Thanks and kudos to them. A few more like them and we might have a country to be proud of. Why do we have to fight so hard to keep our country out of the sewer when we know where the stench originates? Go home Calderon and mind your own country.

BullDogger, I truly pray that in the next election, Jeff Sessions from Alabama and Tom Tancredo will start the Presidential election cycle as running mates. They would sweep the nation off its feet, no doubt about that and we should start challenging both of them to consider this moral decision.

Yes Tom McClintock is one of the few great legislators we have here in Calif. Unfortunately guys like him can't get elected,i.e., Senator or Governor because there are too many libidiots and illegals. Sad state for California.
