Filed Under Immigration, The Republicans

By Eunice Moscoso

The Colorado Republican, who is running for president, has managed to upset a variety of powerful people, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Republican strategist Karl Rove and just about every Hispanic advocacy group in Washington. The source of the conflicts: Tancredo’s unyielding battle against illegal immigration and what he calls the “cult of multiculturalism.” Labeled a hero of the working class by some and a dangerous xenophobe by others, Tancredo has taken his tough talk on the political road in an underdog campaign that has pushed Republican White House contenders to talk more about illegal immigration.
