Thread: Katrina Vanden Heuvel calls Tancredo a white supremacist

Nation magazine publisher Katrina Vanden Heuvel said Sunday that illegal immigration foe, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is animated by a "white supremacist" philosophy - and insisted that illegals are "the backbone of this country."

Following the Colorado Republican on ABC's "This Week," Vanden Heuvel told host George Stephanopoulos:

"Tancredo, on your show today - he looked pleasant. But I will say that what's happened in our country is that some of the white supremacist thinking that used to be represented by David Duke has been absorbed by people like Tancredo."

Vanden Heuvel called the House immigration reform bill backed by Tancredo "very dangerous," "draconian" and "un-American," before praising the illegal population:

"Undocumented immigrants are the backbone of this economy," she told "This Week." "They do the suburban lawns in this country. They take care of the kids. The economy in this country would be in real trouble [without illegal immigrants.]"
Vanden Heuvel predicted that "2006 will be the year of immigrants rising" before adding, "the demonization of immigrants is going to lead to ripping apart the Republican Party."

Contrary to Vanden Heuvel's claim, poll after poll on illegal immigration shows that more than two-thirds of Americans favor tougher border enforement.

It's interesting how George Bush has positioned himself to be in complete accord with the people on the far left.

well he's never been conservative (cutting taxes, growing government, supporting illegal immigration is all liberal stuff) too bad he don't like black people or he would be a democrat for sure.

I don't know who that guy is but that lady needs to not align us with white supremicist. I hate those neo-nazi skinhead freaks and they're talk of a "clean america" its stupid. All we want is for the WHOLE world to follow our immigration law and process.

It's all hogwash from paid pro-illegal swine dung.

Tancredo does not align with white supremacists. That woman's insinuation is the most blatantly false statement ever told about a US Congressman.

And her fear-mongering about "who will take care of the babies and who will mow the lawns"?

May I suggest any one of the number of Americans that were put out of business by the illegal invaders. They are all over the place in droves waiting and hoping for the opportunity to resume their businesses.

It's all hogwash from paid pro-illegal swine dung.
