Durbin v. Tancredo Re: DREAM Act

A side story on the DREAM Act involved Tom Tancredo’s attack on Senator Dick Durbin for appearing at a presss conference with foreign students, who happened to be documented. Durbin told Tancredo, “have you no shame!”

Maple Brown reports:

Presidential candidate and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo blasted Senator Dick Durbin for what Tancredo says is “aiding and abetting illegal aliens” at his press conference yesterday on the DREAM Act.

Tancredo turned in Senator Durban’s event yesterday to immigration authorities for hosting the event in conjunction with discussion of the DREAM Act where illegal aliens were reported to be attending.

Tancredo said yesterday, “I call on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to detain any illegal aliens at this press conference.  Just because these illegal aliens are being used for political gain doesn’t mean they get immunity from the law.”

“If we can’t enforce our laws inside the building where American laws are made, where can we enforce them?”

Today Tom Tancredo stepped up the rhetoric “Dick Durbin, by his own admission, brought in students who benefit from the DREAM Act for political gain,” said Tancredo. “Dick can split all the hairs he wants, but we all know the DREAM Act is designed to do one thing: benefit illegal aliens.” Click here and here for a couple stories.
