DES MOINES, Iowa — Rep. Tom Tancredo says his fellow Republican presidential candidates are aiding immigrants in breaking the law by taking part in this weekend’s Spanish-language debate in Miami. “What all my colleagues — what the other candidates are doing — it’s encouraging violation of the law because it’s saying, ‘Don’t worry about the fact that you have to know English to earn citizenship,’ ” said Mr. Tancredo, the only Republican to turn down the invitation from Univision for Sunday night’s debate and who said the other candidates’ participation was worse than pandering. For the Colorado congressman, it’s a matter of principle: He said the other candidates are contributing to the Balkanization of the country by joining the debate, in which the candidates will speak English, but their answers will be translated into Spanish for broadcast on the nation’s largest Spanish-language network.

Poor Señor Tancredo. He hates having a Spanish last name.

“Poor Señor Tancredo. He hates having a Spanish last name.”
Please cite evidence or go away.
Here’s what you do:
Drive on down to Messico. Git a phone book. Look up Jose Tancredo and ask him if it’s true.
But he probably won’t know if Tom hates it or not.
