Tancredo wants a Guide for the Illegals returning to Mexico




U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo -- the recent one-note presidential candidate -- today issued a statement responding to complaints by legislators from Mexico about immigrants self-deporting to Mexico. (See our earlier post.) In the process he brainstormed an idea that, well, only Tancredo could come up with. Here's part of his statement:

Tancredo pointed out that in 2005, the Mexican government actually produced and distributed copies of a "Guia del Migrante Mexicano" (Guide for the Mexican Immigrant) which contained "practical advice" for Mexicans on how to safely sneak into the United States.

The guide contained tips on everything from crossing rivers and navigating the desert to ones "rights" as an illegal alien if apprehended. The booklet is widely available online. This increased the flow of illegal aliens into the United States - illegal aliens who will be returning to Mexico through Sonora as enforcement efforts in the U.S. intensify.

"Perhaps the Department of Homeland Security and Government Printing Office can return Mexico's 2005 favor and help local officials in Sonora cope with the influx of returning Mexicans," said Tancredo. "We can develop a 'Guide for the Returning Illegal Alien' packed with helpful information like how to get back to various points in Mexico from the U.S. border, and a reminder that illegally immigrating is, well, illegal - and has consequences."

Tancredo said he is exploring the option of drafting legislation to authorize the production of the booklets.

I LIKE IT!!!

I like it too.

Ephesians 4:32

One of the best ideas I've heard in a long time.

Mr. Tom Tancredo always has great ideas!

It would be the humanitarian thing to do. I love it.

TOM FOR PRESIDENT AND RON PAUL FOR VICE.
