With his vocal opposition to President Bush’s immigration overhaul proposal, Tancredo has “has earned the enmity of Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove.”

You heard that line, Karl Rove :disgust: told him to "never darken the White House door again".

Running for President, that's one way to ensure he still will. [QUOTE]Right-wing populists, like George Wallace and Patrick Buchanan, have “bedeviled American political parties in presidential elections for more than 30 years,” reports Bloomberg News. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R) could join their ranks in 2008. With his vocal opposition to President Bush’s immigration overhaul proposal, Tancredo has “has earned the enmity of Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove.”

“Tancredo said he hopes one of the more establishment candidates seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 will adopt his anti-immigration stance,” but he is not afraid to join the race if none do. “He recently met with Republican Virginia Senator George Allen, a possible presidential aspirant, to discuss immigration and said he came away mildly encouraged.”[/QUOTE]

Tancredo is also opposed to the H1-B program, as was observed in this old thread here.

What's sort of puzzling though is when you read the fine print Tom Tancredo's bill also has some "guest worker" provisions. I guess the view is that you really can't completely stop this sort of thing. But its puzzling considering his rhetoric.
