Tom “LaRouche” Tancredo

The foremost voice of immigration restriction in the Congress, Tom Tancredo, is accusing George W. Bush of wanting to eliminate the United States of America and replace it with something he calls the ‘North American Union’: “I know this is dramatic – or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic – but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it.”

I speculate in my book, Can She Be Stopped?, that Tancredo will run as a third-party candidate in 2008. Sounds like he’d be perfect to top Lyndon LaRouche’s ticket. If you are serious about the importance of immigration restriction, you’d best be looking for a leader who hasn’t chosen to place himself beyond the political fringe.
