Tom Tancredo: 'I Just Don't Know' How Reliable Trump Will Be on Immigration

By Cathy Burke | Friday, 13 May 2016 09:47 PM

Former Colorado GOP lawmaker Tom Tancredo questions Donald Trump's resolve to solve illegal immigration – pointing to his choice to head a commission looking into the issue as "the mayor of the biggest sanctuary city" in the nation.

In an interview Friday with "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth on Newxmax TV, Tom Tancredo, who represented Colorado's 6th congressional district from 1999 to 2009, said he worries the presumptive GOP presidential nominee's hardline stance is changing.

"I just don't know," he said of Trump's resolve to secure the border.

"I hope it with all of my heart. I want to believe it with my whole heart. He has said some things that make me wonder."

Tancredo pointed to the new committee Trump has described that will study the immigration issue – including the call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.

"He's put [former New York City Mayor] Rudy Giuliani the head of it," Tancredo said. "He was the mayor of the biggest sanctuary city in the country."

Don't worry. Donald Trump wants this crap to end, he doesn't want our country spending federal or state money funding either immigrants or illegal aliens stealing jobs from Americans. Trump wants to balance the budget as soon as possible. Trump wants to have money for roads, bridges, airports, military and other infrastructure. Trump doesn't want to spend billions and billions and billions on illegal aliens and more immigrants. Who in their right mind would want to do that? Trump is in his right mind. He's going to build the wall, he's going to deport illegal aliens and he's going to pause new immigration. Trump is going to fix this free trade disaster and bring our jobs back home to put Americans back to work at good jobs they can live on.

Immigration makes no economic sense when you're country is already overpopulated and 94 million working age persons are no longer in the work force. Makes no sense. At all. Trump knows that and it's the reason he's running for President, to fix it, the fix this mess.

Good point Tancredo. Hope none of that off the record NYT's editorial board discussion with Trump is not true.

It isn't. This is the kind of stuff these snakes create an issue out of. For example:

"Mr. Trump are you really going to deport 11 million illegal aliens". YES

"What about the parents of American children who have been here for 20 years". As I've said, we're going to have a process where the good ones can come back on some basis. There may be some exceptions depending on the situation. We want to be humane. Blah blah."

NYT leaks "he's fooling voters because he's malleable on immigration".

These people are creeps. The NYT is the enemy of our cause and has been for as long as I've been involved with ALIPAC which is over 11 years.

It is certainly food for thought and I like to make sure I am not all in just on words. I like to see people do what they say and stay consistent.

I agree with you on that one. And Trump has more that just his words, he has over $50 million of his own money in this process, a lost top-rated Apprenticeship program worth a fortune, a lost contract with Macy's, and quite a few other losses, because of his immigration positions which have together with his attacks on free trade treason are the reasons he's won more votes in a primary season than any Republican candidate in US history.

I guess it is all in the eyes of the beholder. I do consider actions speak louder then words. I saw an opportunity for Trump to take on a Sanctuary State and prove he wasn't all talk. But what we got was a candidate that could not handle protest by illegal immigrants and their activists groups. A candidate that canceled all of his rally's in California and tucked tail and ran all the way back to New York.
