Tommy Tancredo Rides Again!!! Press Release: “Tancredo Asks Schwarzenegger to Cut Services to Illegals”: Michael Savage — Call Out the Military!

Rep. Ton Tancredo, an anti-immigrant advocate in Congress (and one time Republican Presidential candidate) who is not seeking re-election, released a letter to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on how to deal with the state’s budget crisis.  His suggestion — kick undocumneted immigrants out of the publoc elementary and secondary schools (and thus run afoul of the Supreme Court’s 1982 decision in Plyler v. Doe) and stop local government’s from adopting sanctuary policies.

Thanks for the advice, Congressman Tancredo.  The “blame the illegals” strategy may get you back in the news but will not solve the budget difficulties facing the state, especially since part of the suggested solution calls for defying the Supreme Court and is not truly a viable option.

Media Matters report an even more egregious form of scapegoating by shock jock Michael Savage.  Discussing the Italian government’s decision to deploy soldiers on city streets to combat crime allegedly committed by illegal immigrants, Savage said:

“So they’ve done there what we need to do here. We need to get our troops out of Iraq and put them on the streets of America to protect us from the scourge of illegal immigrants who are running rampant across America, killing our police for sport, raping, murdering like a scythe across America while the liberal psychos are telling us they come here to work.” Savage added: “[Y]ou turn on the cable news, they’re covering again a missing child. Not a missing country but a missing child. … We hear about the rape of a woman, but not about the rape of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is crying, she’s been raped and disheveled — raped and disheveled by illegal aliens.” Click the link above to hear an audio of the diatribe.
